PSP Go Game Library: Digital-Only — What's Playable in 2024
No UMD Drive — PlayStation Store Only (Now Purchase-Locked)
Critical: As of **March 2023, the PSP/PS3/Vita stores no longer accept new purchases.** You can only:
Redownload previously owned titles.
Redeem unused download codes (rare).
Install CFW for homebrew/backups (not covered here).
Games You Can Still Access (If Owned)
PSP Minis / PSP Classics / PS One Classics: Hundreds of titles.
Major Exclusives:God of War: Chains of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta, MGS: Peace Walker, Persona 3 Portable, Crisis Core: FFVII, Dissidia 012, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite, Patapon 1–3, LocoRoco 1–2, LittleBigPlanet PSP, GTA: Vice City Stories / Liberty City Stories, Gran Turismo, MotorStorm: Arctic Edge.
Demos: Still downloadable for owned accounts.
If You Didn't Buy Before Closure
Physical UMDs: Cheap on eBay — but unplayable on Go (no drive).
CFW (Custom Firmware) + ISOs: Only way to play UMD library on Go today. Requires Pandora battery (1000/2000) or Infinity/ME (Go/3000). Legal only with owned UMDs.
PPSSPP Emulator (PC/Phone): Best experience — upscaling, save states, texture packs. Dump your own UMDs.
Bottom Line
PSP Go is a collector's item now. For playing: PSP-3000 + UMDs or PPSSPP.
