Sony announced the games that will be available on the PlayStation TV
For those who don’t know, PlayStation TV is a microconsole that connects to the TV through HDMI. Basically, it acts as a non-portable version of the PlayStation Vita. It was released in Japan on November 14, 2013 and it is slated for an October 14 North American release. In Europe and Australia, the console will arrive in November 14, 2014. According to Andrew House, the CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, the initial purpose of this console was to enter the Chinese gaming market during a period in which game consoles were prohibited in the region.
For its international release, PlayStation TV already has nearly 700 confirmed compatible games that will be available to play in the U.S and Canada on Day One. Some of the more popular games include Killzone: Mercenary, Persona 4 Golden or Metal Gear Solid. Also, Sony announced that Adventure Time: The Secret of the Nameless Kingdom will be available on PlayStation TV as well as on the Vita once it comes out in November. The PlayStation TV, however, isn’t limited to Vita titles. According to Sony, they will soon bring fan favorites like Minecraft to the console.
