As part of Sony\u2019s push into mobile gaming, the company has formed a PlayStation Studios Mobile Division that will operate separately from console game development. According to a press release<\/a>, the new team will create mobile games with \u201cnew and existing PlayStation IP.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sony\u2019s move to form a mobile gaming division aligns with the company\u2019s overall goal of extending its IP to PC and mobile games, as well as TV series and movies<\/a>. Earlier this year, Sony announced that it wants half of its games to be on PC and mobile by 2025<\/a>, with Sony Interactive Entertainment president Jim Ryan stating that it could result in a \u201csignificant growth in the number of people who play our games.\u201d The company\u2019s also looking to expand into live service games<\/a> \u2014 games like Fortnite<\/em>, Rocket League<\/em>, or Destiny 2<\/em> that are continually updated to keep players interested \u2014 with its $3.6 billion acquisition of Bungie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To help fill out its new mobile division, Sony has also acquired Savage Game Studios, whose co-founders previously worked at Zynga, Insomniac, and Wargaming. It doesn\u2019t look like the studio launched any games just yet, but it received $4.4 million in funding<\/a> for a mobile shooter game last year. The press release expands on this a bit, noting that the studio is currently working on \u201can unannounced new AAA live service action game,\u201d but doesn\u2019t offer any additional details on what to expect.<\/p>\n

Hermen Hulst, the head of PlayStation Studios, said the company\u2019s<\/a> \u201cproud\u201d of its \u201cupcoming releases on PC,\u201d which should give gamers without a Playstation console a chance to experience games like Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection<\/em> and Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man<\/em>. \u201cOur mobile gaming efforts will be similarly additive, providing more ways for more people to engage with our content,\u201d he said, \u201cand striving to reach new audiences unfamiliar with PlayStation and our games.\u201d<\/p>\n

More major game companies are looking to bring their games to mobile, a tactic that has proved profitable for some studios so far. In June, data from Sensor Tower showed<\/a> that the mobile version of Genshin Impact<\/em> raked in $154 million in gross revenue, with PUBG Mobile<\/em> and Pok<\/em>\u00e9mon Go<\/em> close behind. Take-Two tapped into the mobile market with its acquisition of Zynga in January<\/a>, while Activision plans to bring Call of Duty Warzone<\/em><\/a> to mobile as well.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m thrilled to welcome Savage Game Studios. They join a new independent PlayStation Studios Mobile Division whose mission is to reach even more new players around the world. Michail and his team are already working on something great; I can\u2019t wait until they can show you. https:\/\/t.co\/61HpPOmFvs<\/a><\/p>\n
