Sony is developing at least five smartphone games based on PlayStation titles, which will be released in the next 18 months. It is not the first time Sony has brought the PlayStation brand to mobile phones. In 2012, the company launched PlayStation Mobile, a software platform that allowed owners of “PlayStation certified” phones such as some models in the Sony Xperia range to download a selection of classic and independently produced PlayStation titles. However, the concept failed to generate enough interest from phone owners, while the PlayStation Vita handheld console, which also supported PlayStation Mobile games, did not sell in great numbers. PlayStation Mobile was canned in the summer.
