New partnership between the technology companies will bring Unity for PlayStation to game developers.
Games developed using Unity for PlayStation will be available on PlayStation Store (PS Store) where millions of fans across the world gather each day to enjoy the industry’s most fun and immersive gaming experiences. SCE will also offer Unity developers opportunities to integrate popular PlayStation Network features such as trophy functionality into their games.
Unity game developers on all PlayStation platforms including PSM can tap into the highly active Unity Community, where they can access a wealth of tips and tutorials, freely shared scripts and shaders, and dozens of helpful books. Also, with the Unity Asset Store digital marketplace, Unity developers can take advantage of over 6,000 asset packages. Often available for free or at nominal cost, these include items such as high quality 3D objects and animation, advanced particle effects and shaders, AI and physics setups, and sounds and tool extensions.
“We are very happy to be working with Unity Technologies to deliver Unity for our PlayStation platforms,” said Teiji Yutaka, Senior Vice President, Technology Platform of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. “PlayStation gamers can look forward to playing a broad array of new creative games from Unity’s global community of developers, which includes some of the best independent talent in the industry.”
“We are excited to be able to help Unity’s massive ecosystem reach out to SCE’s incredible platforms," said David Helgason, CEO, Unity Technologies. "The kaleidoscopic innovation, high quality, and production velocity that our rich developer community brings will help drive the success of the future game development.”
