Do you remember PlayStation Mobile?
In the slide specifically about mobile, Ryan said the company has “aggressive growth plans.”
Sony will partner with successful mobile developers, establish internal mobile development teams, and publish external mobile games.
Below is what we know so far about Sony’s developments in the mobile gaming market.
What’s the 10%?
It’s a card-based racing game, complete with a retro comic book art style.
Sony-owned company Aniplex previously was the publisher of FGO, but in 2021,Aniplex acquired FGO dev Delightworks.
After the purchase, Delightworksestablished Lasengle–a company responsible for all of Delightworks' business.
FGO launched in 2015 and is estimated, bySensor Tower, to have made over $4 billion.
PlayStation Mobilelaunched in 2012and shut down in 2015, unceremoniously ended by Sony after never really taking off.
On the PlayStation store front, it occupied a separate section.
PlayStation Mobile, however, couldn’t attract an audience on either the PS Vita or Android.
The service stopped publishing games on Android a whole year before Sony pulled the plug completely in 2015.
Sony Pictures Digital also released a handful of mobile games over the years.
In 2007,it released God of War: Betrayal.
Sony also made a controller for the player’s phone, according to a patent first discovered byVGC.
Though if Sony takes this path, it needs to bring original titles to the new handheld.
Sony expanding and diversifying its business makes sense.
Not all of those necessarily need to be on consoles/PC, as some might assume.
