Sony to bring at least five PlayStation classic games to iOS and Android

According to a recent report from Wall Street Journal, Sony has officially announced that it plans to bring a few PS games to Android and iOS. Sony’s ForwardWorks subsidiary will be in charge of this process. They intends to bring these games to those 2 popular platforms by March 2018, the end of Q1 of that year. However, more specific details such as when the first title will be launched is still unknown.

It is inevitable, after all. Mobile gaming is a trend and a gold mine nowadays, and it brings in more revenue than console gaming. It is expected that Sony would at least try to adapt to this trend, at least in Japan. This is especially important, because Sony is such a big player in the gaming industry. With this move, they are surely going to stir the market. For now, we do not know which title will be chosen to e released on iOS and Android. There have been speculations about titles such as The Last Guardian, IQ: Intelligent Qube, and Hot Shots Golf.

What we know for the moment is that the chosen games will be launched first in Japan, Sony’s home country, and later to other Asian countries. As of now, no plans have been made about the US and Europe market yet. However, given that earlier this year, mobile gaming has earned more revenue than PC and console gaming combined, it is more than likely that Sony would release these games in Apple and Android’s home ground too.
