One of the greatest concepts to come from Sony was the introduction of Cross Buy. The innovation allowing us to buy games on one Sony platform and immediately gaining access to the same game for another platform absolutely free. For those of us with a PS Vita and either a PS3, PS4 or both this was a godsend. It allowed us to build up vast software collections quickly and easily and at a fraction of the price we would normally have been able to.
For many games, it is a free-flowing deal with games being purchased on any format immediately being available for the others. On rarer occasions you need to purchase the PS3 or PS4 version to get the Vita version freely. Over the last couple of years however, Cross Buy support had been gradually phased out for the PS3 as developers focused mainly on the PS Vita and PS4.
It works more or less like a Wii U gamepad. The Vita acts as the controller and screen while the PS4 plays the game. You can also connect from other places than just your home via the internets. Stay in the game 1. Play your favorite games on PS5 and PS4 consoles, pause the action and switch to another device on your broadband network, without being tied to the TV. PS Remote Play is available on Android smartphones and tablets, iPhone or iPad, Windows PC and Mac, as well as your PS5 and PS4. Some games have ports for both the vita and the ps4 so they'll work fine. But to play all your games you'd essentially be streaming your ps4 into the vita via remote play. Your parents can obviously watch TV but the ps4 will be running and sending the display to your vita. Now you need to keep in mind that the vita does not have trigger button or L3/R3 buttons so it may be difficult to play some games.
On your PC file browser, go to ux0: and create a folder called vpk if it doesn’t already exist. Transfer Adrenaline.vpk to the ux0:/vpk/ folder on your PS Vita. When the transfer is complete, press Circle on your PS Vita to close FTP/USB mode. In VitaShell, go to ux0: - /vpk/ then highlight Adrenaline.vpk.
Even though the PlayStation Store is closing for the PS Vita and PS3 later this year, Sony have confirmed that Cross Buy support will be continuing. So even though we won’t be able to purchase PS Vita games directly, all of these titles will still be available to PS Vita owners to buy long after the Store has been taken offline. Just buy the PS4 versions and the Vita versions will be waiting for you in your download list.
In this guide we’ll aim to bring you a comprehensive list of what is available in the EU right now. We’ll do our best to keep this as up-to-date as possible and we’re updating it daily. If you know of any we have missed out, please drop us an email using our contact form and let us know.
Please note that Cross Buy support varies by region so this only covers titles in the EU.
