Electronics giant Sony has just announced that they will again take a run at releasing mobile games, specifically for Android and iOS. This is their latest attempt, after several previous debacles. Sony’s newest plan is to create a new unit called ForwardWorks, and launch it on April 1st (ironically on April Fool’s Day?).
Back in March of this year we reported on Sony announcing that their Playstation Mobile services would be closing their doors forever in July. Well it is now July and tomorrow marks the day where you won’t be able to buy any more games off of Playstatioin Mobile. Then in September 2015, in-app purchases and the ability to re-download purchased games will also cease, officially closing Playstation Mobile for good.
Interesting news coming from Sony today as the company has announced that Playstation Mobile will be officially closing up shop in July of this year. The announcement game in an official post on the Playstation Support Forums News section, stating that content distribution will completely cease in a few months from now.
PlayStation mobile support on Android platforms is ending. While the service will continue to run on KitKat (OS 4.4.2) or under along with the PS Vita itself, use of PlayStation Mobile on devices with a higher OS will not be likely.
Sony is continuing with their big promotion that they have going on for the next few weeks where every week two games on Playstation Mobile will be available for free. Last week it happened to be the cool minimalistic RTS game Rymdkapsel and the arcade game Passing Time. This week anyone with a Playstation Certified device will be able to pick up Gun Commando and Mononoke Slashdown off of the Playstation Mobile Store for free.
For those of you with an Android device that happens to be Playstation Certified you have a bit of a treat this Thanksgiving as Grapefrukt Games has decided to give away their rather cool but challenging RTS game called Rymdkapsel for free on the Playstation Store. This is, as the title of this article mentions, in celebration of Thanksgiving.
Square Enix has made one of their games on Android just a little bit more accessible as they have put Chaos Rings up on Sony’s Playstation Mobile store. This is the first Square Enix title to appear on the store and while most Android users shouldn’t have a problem grabbing their games off of Google Play, those of you who prefer Sony’s store can now grab a copy of Chaos Rings off of there.
Almost a week ago we got confirmation that a version of Tokyo Jungle would be coming to Playstation Mobile in the very near future. Well that future has become the present and Tokyo Jungle is now available for Playstation Certified devices through the Playstation Mobile store. While this is a Tokyo Jungle game, it isn’t a direct port of the actual game for Playstation 3.
The rather strange concept of what would happen if a city, say Tokyo, happen to suddenly be overrun with a jungle and the animals took the city back over landed on Playstation 3 not too long ago. It’s a game you’ll either love or absolutely hate, there really isn’t much of an in-between with this title. However, it’s popular enough that a mobile version is heading to Playstation Mobile in the very near future.
Chillingo are looking to expand their reach when it comes to Android gamers and have announced that, starting today, the company will begin releasing their games onto Playstation Mobile for those of you who own Playstation Certified devices and for those of you who happen to own a PS Vita. The first game which launches today is Feed Me Oil.
