Sega readies 46 free-to-play digital and one big console game before March 2016

Sega goes (mostly) all-in on digital games.

Sega Sammy’s financial report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 reveals its plans for its consumer division, and it plans to shift management resources from its packaged game and amusement machine fields to digital game software for smartphones and online, calling this a “center of growth.” Persona 5, the newest game for its top IP, and 46 free-to-play titles are at the head of its approach into 2016. The Tokyo-based company expects continued growth in digital games for mobile and online, and it aims to get a bigger piece of it with multiple releases of its top online franchises. Research firm SuperData says that the Asian digital games market will reach almost $20 billion by the end of 2015.
