Tokyo, March 7, 2012 <\/strong>\u2013 Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE) today announced that it will release the open beta version of PlayStation\u00aeSuite SDK*1<\/sup> to content developers in April 2012 and the official version later this year. Through the introduction of these SDKs, SCE will offer a more streamlined content development environment for content developers \u2014 from large game development companies to small, independent shops \u2014 and further expand the world of PlayStation\u00ae to open operating system based portable devices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In November 2011, SCE released the closed beta version of PlayStation\u00aeSuite SDK to limited content developers in Japan, United States and the United Kingdom. The upcoming open beta version incorporates their feedback and will dramatically enhance convenience and efficiency of the content development environment. The phased rollout of the open beta version will start in April 2012 free of charge and expand target countries beyond Japan, United States and the United Kingdom. Developers will also be able to conduct performance verification of their content developed with the open beta version on PlayStation\u00aeVita.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

SCE will also release the official version of PlayStation\u00aeSuite SDK at $99 US annually later this year, allowing content developers to have their content distributed through PlayStation\u00aeStore*2<\/sup> on a commercial basis. Through the official version, content developers will also be able to seamlessly continue to develop content which was created with the open beta or the closed beta versions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Furthermore, SCE will be adding content for PlayStation\u00aeSuite in Japan, United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, and Australia. The phased rollout of the update will start later this year. The phased rollout will include improving the PlayStation\u00aeSuite presence on PlayStation\u00aeStore for users who want to enjoy a variety of content with ease and convenience on their PlayStation\u2122Certified devices. SCE will also deliver content created through the official version of PlayStation\u00aeSuite SDK after the necessary procedure is completed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As of March 7, 2012, the line-up of PlayStation\u2122Certified devices include Xperia\u2122 arc, Xperia\u2122 acro, Xperia\u2122 PLAY, Xperia\u2122 acro HD, Xperia\u2122 S, Xperia\u2122 ion*3<\/sup> from Sony Mobile Communications AB, and “Sony Tablet” S and “Sony Tablet” P from Sony Corporation. SCE will continue to further accelerate the expansion of PlayStation\u2122Certified devices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n Through PlayStation\u00aeSuite, SCE will deploy various measures to support content developers in their business, and expand the PlayStation\u00ae entertainment experience on an open operating system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
