PlayStation Vita / PS3 / PS4 Cross Buy Guide

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.

While the planned PlayStation Store closure for earlier this year has had a reprieve, this could happen at any time in the future. What this will mean is that at some point in the future, PS Vita and PS3 games will no longer be available for purchase sooner or later. When this eventually happens 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.
