Global titles require global support: Titles released globally receive both pre- and post- launch systems support from the Global Platform division formed in June 2008.

Global Platform:

- provides global support to WWS offline and online titles and
- is the key implement point for WWS global initiatives.

With its worldwide view, Global Platform supports WWS America, WWS Europe and WWS Japan. Headquartered in San Diego, California, Global Platform has employees in Santa Monica and Foster City, California, Liverpool and London, England and Tokyo, Japan.

Global Platform is comprised of the following organizations:

- Global Hosting
- Global First Party Quality Assurance (GFPQA)
- Project Management Office (PMO)
- Product Development Information Technology (PDIT)

The Global Hosting team ensures WWS titles released across all regions are provided with the optimal hosting location, performance and support they need to perform against challenging global demands

Global First Party Quality Assurance tests and verifies all WWS titles to ensure they are robust and ready to be released to the public. QA testers are passionate about every aspect of gaming and are required to push each title to the limit using both industry standard and proprietary testing systems.

The Project Management Office provides title-related coordination of tasks related to online game play. They also provide project management on internal Global Platform projects. An important element in overseeing the implementation of new processes, systems and organizational changes is the people side of change. The PMO applies organizational change management on those projects where warranted. The PMO also provides workflow mapping and process improvement services on select Global Platform and WWS initiatives.

The Product Development Information Technology (PDIT) organization within Global Platform provides desktop support and online storage to all of WWS America. They provide mission-critical support to the organizations that develop all of SCEA’s first party titles.
