Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) announced that it will launch PlayStation®Store (PS Store)*1 for PlayStation®Mobile (PSM) in nine new countries starting December 18th, 2013. With this expansion, SCE will offer a wide variety of exciting content via PS Store to users in total of 18 countries including Japan, United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia, as well as in newly added countries including Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and New Zealand.
Prior to the PS Store expansion for PSM, SCE will offer the PSM Developer Program which includes distribution of the official PSM SDK*2 in the newly added countries starting December 5th, 2013.
Allowing a wider range of developers -- from indie to large publishers -- to create dedicated content for PSM, the PSM Developer Program has been available since November 20th, 2012, in Japan, United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Australia, followed by the launch in Hong Kong and Taiwan on January 21st, 2013. With the addition of nine new countries, developers in a total of 20 countries will be able to create entertainment content for multiple mobile devices, further expanding the world of PlayStation to an open operating system*3 through PSM.
This program enables developers, who have entered into the licensing agreements with SCE*4, to easily distribute content through the PS Store on a commercial basis. It also allows them to market their games to millions of dedicated gamers around the world that own a PlayStation™Certified*5 device or PlayStation®Vita.
