PopCap pre-loads games on Sony Ericsson Xperia

Deal marks the arrival of PopCap’s titles on Android in Europe

Sony Ericsson will pre-load the titles such as hits such as Plants vs. Zombies, Peggle and Chuzzle on Xperia mini and Xperia mini pro models.

Chuzzle, will be pre-loaded in its entirety while Peggle and Plants vs. Zombies will be included as unlimited trial modes – with the option to purchase.

Sony Ericsson has not had the best of weeks, after disappointing financials, but its Xperia devices are arguably the jewels in its crown. So this is a decent deal for PopCap's Android debut.

Giordano Bruno Contestabile, PopCap’s senior director of global product and business strategy for mobile, said: “As the Android ecosystem matures, PopCap is committed to providing best-in-class game experiences for Android game players.

"The Sony Ericsson Xperia mini devices provide an excellent platform for delivering the quality fun that our fans have come to expect.”
