This should speed up the approval process, saving on time and the resources associated with more thorough processes.
The PlayStation Mobile store (formally known as PlayStation Suite) is to go live on October 3 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/369239/playstation-mobile-store-launches-in-october/), Sony confirmed earlier this week.
It will launch with over 30 games for Android-based smartphones and tablets in Japan, the US and Europe.
