Sony’s not just about console gaming anymore. The company is launching PlayStation Studios Mobile Division, kickstarting it with the acquisition of Savage Game Studios. Sony says it’ll keep its mobile division separate from the console development, but that doesn’t mean we won’t see mobile spinoffs based on PlayStation IP.
Nearly every major gaming company is in the mobile gaming space now, so Sony is really playing catch up. Activision Blizzard has been enjoying the fruits of mobile hits like Diablo Immortal — no matter how many accusations of being pay-to-win it accumulate — and Candy Crush. Sony’s main console competitors, Microsoft and Nintendo, are also already in the mobile gaming market.
