Sony Group Corp said on Tuesday it plans to expand a program to identify and incubate Chinese-made games, in a race with Microsoft Corp to tap China's gaming market. 

The program will invest more than 1 million yuan ($140,080) in each game it enrolls, and will not only fund small teams but also big teams with dozens of engineers or more, Bao Bo, Sony's director of China game production, said.
