Sprint will adopt PlayPhone’s mobile-social games portal

PlayPhone is announcing today that Sprint has agreed to adopt its social gaming portal. The move is a big endorsement for PlayPhone’s bid to become a key provider of mobile-social game services that help consumers find games and developers get discovered.

With deals in place with Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint, San Francisco-based PlayPhone is now providing its mobile-games portal service to carriers with 83 percent of the U.S. mobile smartphone and tablet population. Sprint, now owned by Japan’s Softbank, is being more aggressive about catching up with its rivals, said Ron Czerny, the chief executive of PlayPhone, in an interview with GamesBeat.
