Microsoft Office isn’t the only key asset that Microsoft plans to bring to iOS and Android users. Reuters cites a report from Japanese news service Nikkei claiming that Microsoft will bring some of its PC and Xbox games to the iOS and Android mobile platforms. Microsoft’s classic Age of Empires series is expected to be the first game coming to Apple and Google’s mobile operating systems by the end of 2013, with more Microsoft games to follow in 2014. Microsoft is bringing its games to new platforms with the help of Japanese game developer Klab, Inc., Nikkei claims.
