The PlayStation Vita hasn’t been a pivotal part of Sony’s business plan as of late, but that doesn’t mean that it’s been fully abandoned. Thanks to some third-party partners and great independent developers, there are still new releases coming to the system. That said, big releases are the main draw for any system.
That’s why the question we posed in this week’s Now Loading was “When’s the last time you played your PlayStation Vita (if you even still own one)?”
Check out the gallery below to find out what the staff thought of this week’s question:
Now that you’ve seen our answers, we’d love to see hear your thoughts on the matter at hand. Feel free to chime in below with your answer to this week’s question. We can’t wait to hear about what you think about the current state of the Vita, and what the last PlayStation Vita games you played.
We’re always looking for suggestions for our next Now Loading. If you’ve got a good one then let us know via email (or leave a comment below), and we might feature it next week. If we do, we’ll make sure to include a special thank you to the sender!

When's the last time you played your Vita?

The last time I played mine was when Hotline Miami 2 launched. I was having a great time and unfortunately, my cat knocked it off a shelf and the screen shattered. Haven’t fixed it and have never played a Vita ever since.

For me it was just yesterday. Granted, I was only using it to remote play Destiny 2 and squeeze in a little extra Iron Banner time while the kids were napping, but that counts, right?

A week ago. I have acually been using it a lot for Remote Play, as it's easier to play around the house with the Vita.

Vita... Vita... I'd be lucky if I could even tell you where mine was, let alone the last time I played it. It has to have been well over a year ago now. I think it's in my bedside drawer. I ought to dust the ol' thing off and give it a whirl again, for old time's sake. -

I sold my Vita about a year ago, about when the vast majority of the games I liked for the system got PS4 ports. Last time I remember playing it was October 2016 when I lost power for half a week due to a hurricane. I still have a PSTV and my old memory stick somewhere, but I haven't had much reason to pull it out and set it up... eventually the visual novels I want make it to PS4 or Steam, and my backlog is big enough without adding another platform to play in the mix!

The last time I played my Vita was when I Platinumed Bad Apple Wars, which I got for review. That was September I think.

I use my Vita quite often for remote play. The wife recently had surgery and was stuck at home with me for 6 weeks, so in order to not drive her crazy with all of the games I've played, I'd let her watch TV while I sat with her on the couch and played on the Vita. Happy wife, happy life.

It's been a long time — too long, perhaps. Severed was the last time I picked up a Vita game at launch, and it's going on 12 months since I even turned the damn thing on. *Cue sad music*

Earlier today, actually. I'm slowly replaying Gravity Rush, which I never finished. I'll also probably switch back to TowerFall Ascension just for kicks. -

Just a few days ago for me since I've been working my way through VA-11 HALL-A. Prior to that though, I can't remember the last time I played a non-review title on it. If I'm playing a handheld device, it's probably my Switch or 3DS. Vita just doesn't have a good place in my rotation anymore. -

I honestly don't remember. I think over two years ago.
