Since launch, PS Vita owners have gained access to lots of great applications on our new handheld, and we don’t have any plans to slow down. We’re rolling out a brand new app that brings many classic arcade games, along with a few new titles that were previously available only through PlayStation Home. We call it PlayStation Home Arcade.
PlayStation Home Arcade is available today and serves as a portal for some of your favorite arcade classics like Centipede, Asteroids, and Frogger. We’re also offering more recent titles, like Icebreaker and the very addicting Scribble Shooter, which was previously only available in PlayStation Home. The PlayStation Home Arcade app is a free download in the PlayStation Store, and you can purchase games from directly within the app, starting at $1.49 each. To celebrate the launch, we’re offering Ice Breaker, WipEout 2D and a demo of Scribble Shooter absolutely free!
If you’ve purchased any of the available titles as arcade cabinets within PlayStation Home, you can download these titles again on PS Vita at no additional cost.
The following titles are available today through PlayStation Home Arcade:
- Icebreaker (Free)
- WipEout 2D (Free)
- Scribble Shooter (Demo available for Free) – $1.49
- Frogger – $1.49
- Time Pilot – $1.49
- Asteroids – $1.49
- Centipede- $1.49
- Astrosmash Gen2 – $1.49
- Shark! Shark! Gen2 – $1.49
- Mad Blocker – $1.49
We’re constantly looking for new ways to expand PS Vita’s gaming and application offerings and giving you access to the best portable entertainment experience available, so we’re excited for you to check out PlayStation Home Arcade yourself. Let us know in the comments which games you’ll be checking out!
its not available yet man it comes out LATER TODAY
@Lisatsunami ah hah! those are placeholder bots. They’re all avatars of funny looking people. You can tap them awake with a couple of taps, but I’ve never once seen a real user still asleep. I think this might be confusing people into thinking that wake up club is working as intended.
This is AWESOME news! Hopefully it’s a sign that PlayStation Home itself will SOON launch on the PS Vita. Or maybe we will get something new? Something that will be both on the PS4 and PS Vita. Something akin to the XBOX Live avatar service. I wonder where all the Doom and Gloom Vita haters are now? Would they like to own up on those bets now?
Coolness. Always good to see more vita stuff coming.
@Squiggle55 It’s weird, the first couple times I used Wake-up club I was able to cheer on other real PSN users who were sleeping. Now these past couple of times when my alarm went off, everyone else was already awake, but it still said I was the first to wake up. And I agree about the alarm volume thing, I literally got out of my bed last night to go check and make sure my vita’s actual volume was turned up lol.
And @Don another wake-up question, I’m not sure if it’s just me but, if I’m the last to wake up, I’m not able to click on anyone else’s avatar or send them a friend request, is that supposed to happen? I think they should make it where you’re be able to stay in the room as long as you want and maybe press a button or something to leave
You should be able to stay in the room. I’ll check it out.
