BEIJING: Sony has announced to unveil its PlayStation Mobile for Android in September, while it will also launch PlayStation 4 in China on March 20 after being delayed.
PlayStation Mobile was first announced in September 2012 at the Tokyo Game Show, launching the following month. It featured new and classic games priced at about US$2 to $20 from independent developers and SCE World Wide Studios.
Devices certified for the PlayStation Mobile platform were limited to Sony’s Xperia smartphones and tablets, as well as smartphones from Sharp and HTC. The service struggled to attract users, and Sony stopped support for devices running newer versions of Android last year.
SCE has also discontinued a developer program for PlayStation Mobile, with a related portal slated to close Nov. 30. After Sept. 10, PlayStation Mobile users will still be able to play content they have bought by activating up to three compatible devices, SCE said.
