Microsoft has announced that it will be bringing a range of new games to its Windows Phone platform, plus a range of games in conjunction with both Electronic Arts and Nokia. The games are expected to be available in February.
Some of the titles announced for Windows Phone include Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Conviction, and Toy Soldiers: Boot Camp.
As well as these games for Windows Phone devices, Nokia has teamed up with Electronic Arts and they will be bringing over 20 of the world’s most popular games to Windows Phone devices.
Exclusive Games for Nokia Devices
It looks like the twenty games from EA and Nokia will be available exclusively to Nokia’s range of Windows Phone devices at the start and then available to all Windows Phone devices at a later date. This exclusivity deal is a strategic move by Nokia to attract more users to its Windows Phone lineup, leveraging popular game titles to enhance the appeal of their smartphones. Some of the anticipated titles include FIFA, Madden NFL, and The Sims, which are expected to draw significant interest from mobile gamers.
Impact on the Windows Phone Ecosystem
The introduction of these games is a significant boost for the Windows Phone ecosystem, which has often lagged behind iOS and Android in terms of app and game availability. By partnering with major game developers like Electronic Arts, Microsoft is making a concerted effort to close this gap and provide a more competitive platform for users. This move is also likely to encourage other developers to consider the Windows Phone platform for their future releases, potentially leading to a more vibrant and diverse app marketplace.
