    Sony Computer Entertainment has announced a new partnership with Unity Pro to give out the development suite to licensed Playstation developers across PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PS Vita.

    “We are very happy to begin offering Unity for our PlayStation® platforms at no additional cost to developers,” said Teiji Yutaka, Senior Vice President, Division Deputy President, R&D Division of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.

    Unity is a wildly popular game engine to build games in, mostly due to its easy accessibility and its wide support across a multitude of development platforms, including home consoles and handhelds. Unity has already been available for free, on the Wii U.

    “Some of the most exciting and high quality games are being created in the vibrant indie community,” said Yutaka-san. “We’re happy to help ensure all developers have the same opportunities to create wonderful new experiences for our powerful PlayStation platforms.”

    Some of the more notable games built in Unity are BroForce and Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty.
