Company's Game4u digital distribution service will be made available to Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

Milestone Interactive Group, a publishing and distribution company in India, will be expanding its business beyond its region by setting up shop in Singapore and Dubai.

Sony titles like the upcoming Last of Us are distributed in India by Milestone.

The overseas expansion is part of the company's plan to stretch out its digital distribution platform Game4u to Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Milestone is planning to build up its mobile publishing business as well in the two regions. The publisher will make the service available to gamers in those regions and use localized pricing and payment options.

Milestone distributed and published games to the whole of India for 15 years. The company has worked with Sony Computer Entertainment, Capcom, EA, and Rovio Entertainment.
