Sony Playstation Mobile Games via Player X. Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios announced the appointment of Player X to publish mobile games based on its key PlayStation franchises Buzz! and Destruction Derby. This is the first time SCE WWS has licensed its titles to be published by a third party on mobile.

Under the terms of the three-year deal, Player X, with its distribution network of more than 150 global operators and potential audience of more than 2.5 billion people, will have exclusive rights to publish the two titles launching shortly in the European market.

The mobile phone version of the popular Buzz! franchise will be the first title realised in autumn 2008 with, Destruction Derby following in early 2009. Both games will be supported by a fully integrated cross-platform marketing campaign with Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) for the PAL territories.
