Sony Computer Entertainment initiates public preview of “Unity for PlayStation Mobile” ahead of official launch
Tokyo, April 8, 2014 – Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE) announced that starting today, it will initiate a public preview of “Unity for PlayStation®Mobile,” a dedicated development environment for PlayStation®Mobile (PSM). Similar to the beta version which has been available to a select number of developers, the public preview of “Unity for PSM” is a fully integrated solution of “Unity” from Unity Technologies, and is optimized for the creation of PSM content for PlayStation®Vita (PS Vita). Furthermore, the “PlayStation®Mobile Developer Program” will expand to an additional 12 countries, and PlayStation®Store (PS Store) for PSM will launch in four new countries. With these expansions, SCE will offer support to a wider range of developers in a total of 32 countries and regions, and deliver new PSM content for PS Vita in 22 countries.
SCE will continue to make improvements to the beta and public preview versions of “Unity for PSM,” and will offer developers an official version of the solution with system enhancements starting this summer. Developers will be able to create PSM content by utilizing “Unity for PSM” without having to pay any extra charges if they already own licenses for the free version of “Unity” or “Unity Pro,” which provide a full professional suite of tools and rendering power. The official “Unity for PSM” removes the need for extensive re-coding, allowing developers to easily port their games created for iPhone, iPad, and Android™ based devices to launch on PSM and deliver their content to PS Vita users worldwide.
The “PSM Developer Program,” which is aimed at providing support to developers creating dedicated content for PSM, will expand to an additional 12 countries starting May 29, 2014. The program will soon be available in Australia, Brazil, Columbia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Peru, Poland, Russia, Singapore, Switzerland, and Thailand. The “PSM Developer Program” has been available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, United Kingdom, and the United States since November 20, 2012, followed by Hong Kong and Taiwan since January 21, 2013, and also Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and Sweden since December 18, 2013. By offering the program in a total of 32 countries, SCE will provide a wider range of developers the opportunity to bring their content to PSM.
