Doing a quick Google search, there does seem to be PS Vita emulators out on the internet.

While Sony cracked down hard on homebrew for the PSP and Vita, here it’s at least an option, if not actually encouraged. On a retro kick recently, I discovered that Little Big Adventure - a game I first beat in 1994 - is available in a bundle with its sequel for just $3.19.Īnd if your game of choice isn’t on there, then Valve has said Steam Deck buyers are free to install Windows, at which point the whole world of PC gaming is theoretically at your fingertips. So yes, you may not be able to play Gran Turismo, but you can play Forza Horizon, or Gears 5 or whatever exclusives Bethesda puts out in the next few years (assuming the Steam Deck’s hardware keeps up.)Īdd to this the ridiculous number of old PC games on Steam, and the Vita couldn’t dream of competing. And fortunately, the Steam Deck has a whole other console’s exclusives to fall upon: the Xbox. There’s no The Last of Us, Ratchet and Clank or Gran Turismo, but it’s not like every PlayStation franchise made its way to PSP and Vita, either. And there’s a rumor that Sackboy: A Big Adventure will be coming soon. I mentioned God of War above and Uncharted has too been revealed to be in the works. This is possible, of course, not because Sony has specifically ported it, but because the game has been released on Steam for PC players around the world.Īnd it’s not the only previous PlayStation exclusive that will work on the handheld without any modification: Death Stranding, Days Gone, Heavy Rain, Helldivers and Detroit are all available to buy on Steam right now.
