Game Developer Spaces
This list is for all of the Game Developer Spaces released or planned for release in the PlayStation Home Open Beta. Game Developer Spaces function similarly to Game Spaces except they are to promote the game developer themselves and several of their games instead of just one of their specific games. There are currently nine Game Developer Spaces in Home from four game developers.
These flags represent each region of Home. = Asian Home; = European Home; = Japanese Home; = North American Home
This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.| Developer | Name of Space | Features | Release |

Famous quotes containing the words game and/or spaces:
“Art is a concrete and personal and rather childish thing after all—no matter what people do to graft it into science and make it sociological and psychological; it is no good at all unless it is let alone to be itself—a game of make-believe, or re-production, very exciting and delightful to people who have an ear for it or an eye for it.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“Though there were numerous vessels at this great distance in the horizon on every side, yet the vast spaces between them, like the spaces between the stars,—far as they were distant from us, so were they from one another,—nay, some were twice as far from each other as from us,—impressed us with a sense of the immensity of the ocean, the “unfruitful ocean,” as it has been called, and we could see what proportion man and his works bear to the globe.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
