Throughout its existence, Japan Studio worked with multiple Japanese and foreign game studios, including the likes of Creator/FromSoftware (which led to the creation of the SoulsLikeRPG sub-genre), Creator/Level5, Creator/{{Marvelous}}, Creator/MediaVision, Creator/ClapHanz (most famous for Sony's ''VideoGame/EverybodysGolf'' series), and most recently Creator/BluepointGames.
The studio also had several in-house productions throughout its years, including the ''VideoGame/ApeEscape'' series, the ''VideoGame/LegendOfDragoon'', the ''[[VideoGame/TeamIcoSeries Team Ico trilogy]]'', ''VideoGame/{{Siren}}'', ''VideoGame/GravityRush'' and ''VideoGame/{{Knack}}''. While achieving varying levels of commercial success and sales numbers, many of their internally-developed titles have become CultClassics.

As part of the reorganization, an External Development Department was established to better support collaboration and partnerships with other studios, while also strengthening the studio's internal development team. In a November 2020 interview following the annoucnement of his departure from the studio, Keiichiro Toyama revealed that Japan Studio rebuilds itself to focus on larger, blockbuster titles.
