Sony PS5 game franchises could land on iPhone and Android later this year
So which Sony games are coming to mobile?
Ryan didn’t indicate which of SIE’s “iconic IP” will be coming to mobile, but given the comparison to last year’s successful PC ports – Horizon Zero Dawn and Predator – we could expect a mix of exclusive and licensed properties. At a prior corporate strategy meeting, Ryan explained the company had some success experimenting with mobile games and apps, and mobile will likely be one area it continues to explore, per Video Games Chronicle:
“PlayStation has a huge catalogue of diverse first-party IP that can transition to smartphone gaming and complement our AAA games or live service games. We are exploring the mobile market with some wonderful PlayStation franchises so please stay tuned.”
We’re left to speculate what SIE believes would make a good transition to mobile, though new PS5 games like Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart could suggest popular franchises worth transitioning to mobile – as well as eagerly-anticipated games like Deathloop, God of War: Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, and more. Square Enix already has a mobile game planned this year – Final Fantasy 7: The First Soldier, a battle royale – but we’re eager to see what SIE is cooking up from its library of popular IP.
