Game Spark has followed its earlier PSP buying guide with a 20-title list of novel and adventure games to secure on PS3, PS Vita, and PS game archives before the PlayStation Store for those platforms shuts down in July 2027. The selection criteria exclude any title already ported to current home consoles or Steam.
