Sony's gaming chief Jim Ryan in May outlined plans to radically
broaden the games portfolio beyond the PlayStation 5 console and
the group's focus on single player games with more releases on
PC and mobile.
Savage Game Studios, which was established two years ago and is
working on a live service action title for mobile, will become
part of a new mobile division of PlayStation Studios, Sony said
in a statement.
The entertainment conglomerate hopes to tap into more consumer
spending on gaming by expanding on other platforms while also
defending against technological shifts that are loosening ties
to bulky hardware.
"PlayStation Studios must continue to expand and diversify our
offering beyond console, bringing incredible new games to more
people than ever before," said Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation
Studios.
Sony is struggling to produce enough PS5 consoles to meet demand
amid supply chain snarls and last week announced a price hike in
many markets due to pressure from a strengthening dollar.
