AMD to invest $400 million in India by 2028: Here’s what we know

US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said.

Sony announces PlayStation Studios Mobile Division with Savage Game acquisition

Sony has announced fresh push in mobile gaming with the launch of PlayStation Studios Mobile Division. This new division will operate independently from the company’s console game development and it will ‘focus on innovative, on-the-go experiences based on new and existing PlayStation IP.’

Along with the launch of PlayStation Studios Mobile Division, the company also announced the acquisition of Savage Game Studios. Savage Game Studios was founded by developers Michael McManus, Michail Katkoff and Nadjim Adjir back in 2020. Over the years, the three developers have worked with various developers including Insomniac Games, Zynga and Rovio. However, Savage Game Studio hasn’t produced any game yet.

Now, Sony has announced that the gaming studio is already working on an unannounced live action game. “They’re already working on a new unannounced AAA mobile live service action game. It’s too early to reveal more, but I’m so excited for when they’ll be able to,” Sony wrote in a blog post. The company didn’t offer more details beyond this.

It is worth noting that the move is a part of Sony’s efforts to bolster mobile gaming. Earlier this year, the company had announced that it wants half of its games to be on PC or mobile by 2025.

“PlayStation Studios historically has executed wonderfully in the delivery of a strong portfolio of narrative rich, graphically beautiful single-player games, but it’s certainly the case that we have restricted ourselves to a rather narrow portion of the gaming market,” Sony Interactive Entertainment President Jim Ryan had said during a presentation at the Investor’s Day as reported by Video Games Chronicle.

“By expanding to PC and mobile, and it must be said… also to live services, we have the opportunity to move from a situation of being present in a very narrow segment of the overall gaming software market, to being present pretty much everywhere,” he had added.

A slide shared by the SIE President during the Investors’ Day presentation also hints towards the company planning to phase out its PlayStation 4 gaming console. Interestingly, Sony recently launched the DualSense controllers. These gaming controllers feature support for the company’s PS5 gaming console only, which further strengthens the theory that PS4 might be on its way out.
