On November 14, 2013, the PlayStation TV (known as the PlayStation Vita TV or PS Vita TV in Japan) was released in Japan and on Sony's E3 Press Conference on June 9, 2014, the PS TV was announced for Western Release. The PlayStataion TV is a non-portable variant console of the PlayStation Vita that connects to a TV via HDMI. It is compatible with PlayStation Vita games (both physical and downloadable), PS Now, and PSP Games using the DualShock 3 or a DualShock 4 although due to differences between the handheld and the controller, certain games that require usage of the system's microphone, camera or gyroscopic features are not compatible. It has 1 GB of internal memory though it can be expanded using a PS Vita Memory Card.

In addition to playing downloadable games along with PS Vita games, the PS TV also supports Remote Play where it allows the player to stream PlayStation 4 games to a separate TV connected to the PS TV and wirelessly and play any PS4 games from it. Although some games may require a touch screen, it is not playable if its connected with a DualShock 4 (after a 3.10 update for the PS TV on March 25, 2014). The PlayStation TV is released in North America on October 14, 2014 and it will be released later in the PAL Regions by November 14 at a cost of US$99 or €99 with a bundle available at US$139.99.
