sega Sega has revealed that its Birmingham, UK-based development studio Sega Racing Studio has been shut down after just three years in operation. The studio was founded in 2005 and employed over 60 members working on several projects. However, its sole release till date was Sega Rally Revo, which was released back in 2007 on PS3, PSP and Xbox 360.

In an email to Next-gen, Sega revealed that the decision to close the studio was to “ensure that each studio is a profitable entity in its own right.” The company added: “Unfortunately the Sega Racing Studios 5 year plan would not result in a successful return for the Sega business moving forward. Sega would like to stress that there will be no changes within their other internal development studios.”
