The top 10 neighbors for Santa Monica Studio span six distinct subcategories — game developers, technology, movie franchises, entertainment, and more — with no single neighbor pulling far ahead of the rest.
The shape is flat: scores run from 0.89 down to 0.85 across the top 10, a narrow band with no dominant anchor. Six of the ten neighbors are fellow Game Developers: Capcom USA (0.89), Naughty Dog (0.88), Square Enix (0.87), SEGA (0.87), Insomniac Games (0.87), and Sucker Punch Productions (0.86) — so the audience does look substantially like its own kind. The remaining four break that pattern in notable ways: Sony (Technology, 0.87) and DC Universe (Movie Franchises, 0.87) sit nearly as close as the developer cluster, and Marvel Entertainment (Entertainment, 0.86) and Zack Snyder (Artists, 0.85) round out the ten. The presence of two superhero-adjacent brands and a filmmaker at scores comparable to peer studios suggests the audience carries a strong comics-and-blockbuster dimension alongside its gaming identity.
The flat distribution across these six subcategories points to an audience that is broadly engaged across gaming and genre entertainment rather than tightly concentrated around any single property or platform.
