Job ad suggests software giant will be making its own games for Windows Phone 7
Microsoft Games Studios is setting up a new mobile games division according to a job posting on the company's website (which is now showing as having been filled).
MGS Mobile will presumably be tasked with creating first party games for the upcoming Windows Phone 7 OS, to complement any third party titles that are released for the platform.
Although the job description has now been removed, Neowin managed to grab some of the copy, which read: “Microsoft Games Studios is establishing a new Studio - MGS Mobile Gaming - focused on bringing games and entertainment to the mobile life that people lead. Our vision is to deliver games and entertainment so good that people will want them always with them, on a service that makes them social, connected and relevant anywhere their life goes.”
Microsoft is working with a range of hardware partners on Windows Phone 7 handsets, and has been keenly courting app and game developers to ensure a strong launch lineup for WinPho 7's app store.
