PlayStation Mobile
software framework used to provide downloadable PlayStation content for devices that meet PlayStation Certified requirements
PlayStation Mobile was a software framework used to provide downloadable PlayStation content for select "Certified" mobile devices. This includes devices that both run Android 2.3 and met specific hardware requirements, PlayStation Vita, and PlayStation TV. It was active from 2012 to 2015.
It was originally announced in 2011 as PlayStation Suite. It was based on the Mono platform. An open beta was released in April 2012 before it officially launched in most regions of the world on October 3, 2012. In May 2013, Sony announced that the publisher license fee would be waived in an attempt to entice more developers to create games for the service. In August 2014 with version 2.00, Sony announced that it will deprecate support for Android and target only PlayStation Vita and PlayStation TV. It was announced in 2015 that PlayStation Mobile will be shutting down entirely. The service never gained traction despite availability on a range of handsets by many manufacturers. The storefront was closed in July 2015, with the service completely shutting down on September 10, 2015.

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1140931. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2012, 2015, 2011 and 2013.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
