EA has told Bloomberg that Windows Phone is important to its handset strategy.

â€œWeâ€™re working very closely with Microsoft to understand what their views on gaming navigation are,â€ Chief Operating Officer Peter Moore said in a phone interview. â€œAnything that allows more platforms to be adopted quickly that have a gaming element is good for Electronic Arts.â€

Moore was speaking before the annual Gamescom conference in Cologne, Germany, next week.

EA has previously entered into a deal with Nokia to bring their games exclusively to Nokiaâ€™s Windows Phones. Windows Phone 8, with support for Native Code and different gaming engines, should make it even easier for the company to port their games to the new OS.
