How many games have been made for PS Vita?

The PS Vita was a unique but ill-fated console. But how many games did you get?

Although the PS Vita's successor did not achieve the same success as its predecessor, the PSP was a huge success, releasing numerous games from numerous developers around the world. But how many games are there? Let's check it out quickly.

How many games were released on PSP?

The PSP was released around the same time as the Nintendo DS, only delayed by a few months. It was a crowded market to enter considering Nintendo's dominance, but Sony still managed to carve out its own audience. A more traditional yet powerful machine was exactly what they needed, giving the console plenty of life until its predecessor came along.

In total, the PSP has about 2,000 games. Of course, these are not exact figures, and exact international figures are a bit difficult to determine. Still, these are commendable numbers for Sony's first attempt to commit to a portable console.

To put that number into perspective, that's about 286 games a year, or 24 games a month. Before it was officially replaced by the PS Vita, it played out at almost a game a day. It's not a bad record at all.

When was the last game released for PSP?

The PSP was first released in Japan in 2004, but it has had quite a long history. Despite being replaced by the PS Vita in 2011, the PSP continued to release new games for some time, with the final games coming out quite a while after it was officially discontinued.

The last game to be released physically or digitally on the PSP was Retro City Rampage DX, released in the EU on July 27, 2016. It has been almost 12 years since its first release.

What was the launch title for PSP?

Ahead of the PSP launch, Sony claimed that the console would have at least three times more titles at launch than any of its competitors. Strong argument, technically correct argument. As you can see, Sony mentioned a release 'window' rather than an exact release. Adequate amount of leeway.

A big reason for that is that, at least in Japan, the PSP's launch day titles were no more impressive than their DS counterparts, and there were few snags for first-party titles. That said, the numbers weren't entirely inflated, as more exemplary titles were released in the following days.

• japan – December 12, 2004.
• North America – March 24, 2005.
• europe – September 1, 2005.

Below we'll take a quick look at all the games released on launch day in each region.

Japan had seven games, just like the DS, but the North American and European releases had a much wider selection of games, with 17 and 27 games respectively. Compared to its competitors at the time, this was actually a significant improvement and a clear advantage for the PSP.
