List of cancelled PlayStation Vita games

The PlayStation Vita is a handheld video game console released by Sony in 2011. The system, positioned as an attempt to appeal both traditional handhelds and mobile phone gaming, maintained a niche following through 2018, though failed to pick up on mainstream success. While the Vita would go on to have over 1,400 games released for it in its lifetime, its weak commercial performance and weaker hardware compared to other video game consoles and mobile devices multiplatform games were in development for, led to a considerable number of cancelled video games as well. This list documents games that were confirmed for the Vita at some point, but did not end up being released for it in any capacity.[1][2]
