After Sony dialed back their decision to shut down the PlayStation Store at the end of March they left us hanging with the vaguely worded statement that “PSP commerce functionality will retire on July 2, 2021 as planned”. What exactly does that mean? I still don’t think we know for certain, but a few publishers have at least come out and confirmed that their own titles will remain available.
Both Atlus and Level-5 posted statements in Japan over the last two weeks to confirm that their digital PSP titles will remain available to buy on PlayStation 3 and Vita. Compatible titles can be played right on the Vita while some content will have to be transferred from a PS3 to a Vita or PSP. Below are the listings that each publisher offered. Keep in mind that titles and availability of some games differ outside of Japan.
