Tokyo, April 8, 2014<\/strong> – Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE) announced that starting today, it will initiate a public preview of \u201cUnity for PlayStation\u00aeMobile,\u201d a dedicated development environment for PlayStation\u00aeMobile (PSM). Similar to the beta version which has been available to a select number of developers, the public preview of \u201cUnity for PSM\u201d is a fully integrated solution of \u201cUnity\u201d from Unity Technologies, and is optimized for the creation of PSM content for PlayStation\u00aeVita (PS Vita). Furthermore, the \u201cPlayStation\u00aeMobile Developer Program\u201d will expand to an additional 12 countries, and PlayStation\u00aeStore (PS Store) for PSM will launch in four new countries.

The \u201cPSM Developer Program,\u201d which is aimed at providing support to developers creating dedicated content for PSM, will expand to an additional 12 countries starting May 29, 2014.
