Hey everyone,
It’s a special PS Vita early launch week / Valentine’s Day edition of the PlayStation Store Update! But it doesn’t mean there’s no great new PS3 content to talk about either. Which means we’ve got a lot to cover, so let’s get to it.
Kicking things off this week is the official PlayStation Store launch of PS Vita titles available to download once you’ve connected to PlayStation Network. Many of the downloadable titles are also available at retail as well such as UNCHARTED: Golden Abyss. However, there are exclusive titles that are only on PSN including Super Stardust Delta, Escape Plan and Hustle Kings.
Escape Plan delivers a new style of “survival humor” gameplay that takes full advantage of the unique features of the PS Vita. Super Stardust Delta brings the famous twin-stick shooting that made for a gripping experience on PS3 and brings a new edition to PS Vita with all-new gameplay tweaks. Lastly Hustle Kings lets you make your way to the top of the global leader boards in this beautifully chic pool setting. Access the PlayStation Store on your PS3 or PS Vita to download the new PS Vita content.
If you’re looking to purchase new PSP or PS mini titles to play on your PS Vita, you may want to browse the PlayStation Store on your PS Vita as not all older titles are compatible, even if they are digitally available on PSP. Check the full list here. On a similar note, remember that any PSP titles you purchased, or purchase going forward digitally on PSP, are available for you to download and play on your PS Vita, as long as they are listed here.
PS Vita isn’t the only place to find new PlayStation content. This week also sees the release of PSN Games House of the Dead III, Inferno Pool and Worms Ultimate Mayhem, to name a few. Even better, if you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you get new release Inferno Pool free, and day one discounts on House of the Dead III and Worms Ultimate Mayhem!
Additionally for PlayStation Plus subscribers, to show our appreciation and love this Valentine’s Day, we, along with our friends at Ubisoft, are putting Far Cry 2 FREE for subscribers! It’s a great way to get prepped for the upcoming release of Far Cry 3, and an all around amazing game to play if you didn’t get the chance to play it.
Check out the full details of this week’s update below, don’t forget to tune into the second episode of Tester Season 3 and let us know your thoughts in the comments below or join the discussion on the PlayStation Community forums in the Official PlayStation Store Update thread. Happy gaming!
