Sony PSN Store Shutdown Puts 10 PS Vita Games at Risk Next Year

3 articles · Updated · DualShockers · Jul 15

Summary

  • A new recommendation list flags 10 PlayStation Vita titles to buy before Sony closes the PSN stores for PS Vita and PS3 next year, with some regions reportedly facing only about a month.
  • Several picks are vulnerable because the Vita store is their main or only legal access point: Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines was digital-only in the West, while Murasaki Baby, Killzone: Mercenary and Uncharted: Golden Abyss remain stuck on Vita.
  • Other games on the list are still obtainable physically but are scarce or expensive, including Tales of Hearts R and Soul Sacrifice Delta, making the digital storefront one of the last affordable options.
  • The recommendations span exclusives and hard-to-replace releases such as TxK, Super Stardust Delta, Adventures of Mana and Tearaway, underscoring how the closure could erase access to a broad slice of Vita’s catalog.
