PlayStation seems to be pushing towards the mobile market, as it sets up a dedicated mobile division, and acquires a mobile-focused studio.
Earlier today (August 29), PlayStation announced that it is acquiring mobile game developer Savage Game Studios. If you haven’t heard of it before, that might be because it hasn’t actually released a game yet, though its co-founders do include former Zynga, Rovio, and Insomniac staff, so there’s plenty of experience in the industry at the very least.
On top of that, PlayStation also announced that Savage Game Studios is joining the newly created PlayStation Studios Mobile Division, as sure a sign as any that the company wants to head into the mobile market. The newly created division “will operate independently from our console development and focus on innovative, on-the-go experiences based on new and existing PlayStation IP,” as described on the PlayStation Blog announcement post.
