With the Xperia PLAY launching today in the UK, and soon in the US, French publisher Gameloft has revealed its extensive line-up for the platform. Ten launch games, including several pre-loaded on the phone, make Gameloft the biggest PLAY publisher at the moment, so, to find out about why they are investing so heavily in the PLAY, what they think of the device, and what their future plans are, PlayStation LifeStyle chatted to Callum Rowley, Digital Marketing and Community Manager for Gameloft UK.
Auto Defense, a real castle battle strategy game by Gameloft, is globally available to download and play on Android and iOS devices.
Culture of Gaming set down with Gameloft at E3 2019 where we got to preview some of their upcoming games in the mobile field.
Neil writes: "Since the turn of the millennium, Gameloft have established themselves as one of the very top innovators in their field, creating games for various platforms. With the mobile scene being their bread and butter, you would have been able to enjoy a whole host of their titles on your iOS or Android device. Now though they are partnering up with Microsoft to see the Xbox Live service roll out across the mobile gaming landscape."
Major move by Microsoft here. Already enjoying these games with Xbox Achievements/Live, through Windows 10 on my Surface Go, but now that they are bringing them to iOS and Android, even more people will be able to experience Xbox Live no matter where they are. More of this.
Gameloft make the worst mobile games They make crappy copies of more popular games . Good fit for MS I guess
Great interview. Sounds like the Xperia PLAY is off to a great start with its software. Let's hope it gets proper support and sales to keep it going.
Great interview. The key to the phone's success will be the software and game choices.
If the phone had an actual keyboard, I'd buy it. My fingers don't work well with touch screen keyboards.
As much as I want to love this device, I just can't. It looks so clunky and unfinished... and the line up it's PSN friendly.... plus trophies were probably the one thing I was banking on, but nope!
According to many reviews the xperia is already a flop and analysts believe it to be a failure already. But who knows.
And there comments on dedicated systems are idiotic. Maybe they cant keep up with tech, But thats irrelevant in terms of games
And what has gameloft done aside from making shovelware? And why are these mobile developers getting articles now? Oh I get it. They are so insecure about the shit they put out they have to badmouth dedicated devices any chance they get.

My issue is more with gameloft. And less with the product
@ even further below
no they arent. There games will be pssuite enabled which are basically psp2 comaptible minis
Have gameloft developed anything original? All titles I've seen are knock offs of popular games.
