Dragon Quest XI S Isn't Cross-Platform Between PS4 and Vita, Square Enix Confirms

I wish this would be true but yeah...no chance for that to happen

Just checked the German Store because I was curious and there is says "PS4-Spiel kann auf PS Vita auch ohne Konsole gespielt werden" in the description. Translates to: "PS4 Game can also played on PS Vita without the console"

I owe DQXI & was disappointed to find out there would be no free upgrade.
However, if it’s really vita cross-buy I’ll double dip.
Doubt it though- unless it’s just the 2D mode🤔

@Fight_Teza_Fight The Switch Port was developed on a new Version of the Engine If I remember right so an Upgrade is not possible sadly. Thats also the reason why there will be graphical differences to the Original PS4/PC Version...because its basically a Switch Port^^"

Vita means life

@IonMagus - Going off your translation I guess it just means remote play on the Vita.

@Shigurui You need the PS4 Console to be turned on for remote Play though. I also just checked if this is a Standard Remote Play description and its missing from other titles that offer this feature, so it has to be Crossplay specific. Im still 100% sure that this is an error^^

Nah, not from an official source from various regions, it needs to be a random Twitter tweet for Push Square to have some genuine belief.

As far as Japanese games go, I'm struggling to hold my breath even for Vita sales these days, let alone ports (although to be fair, some notable releases like Utawarerumono still happen). It's mostly western indies now. Japan certainly was Vita's main turf for most of its life - it took PS4 years to outsell her "little sister" there, - but the advent of Switch mostly ended that relationship, and I'd be a hypocrite to lament it after accordingly moving my own wishlist (and even some of the library like WoFF). And alas, it's all the harder to expect Square Enix to port DQXI to Vita where Sony itself didn't even bother with the sequel to Gravity Rush.

Dragon Quest XI is definitely the best game to be stuck at home in front of a TV with. It just wouldn't feel the same to be able to take it outside for a walk. Thank goodness there is no other port whatsoever that allows to do just that. Nope, it doesn't exist.

Maybe the 3DS version? Most probably not.

I'll say this, I'd totally but the game again if this was true.

I’m good. I own the vanilla game on PS4 & the Definitive edition on Switch.

It’s a check box on a submission form. There are actually many error like this all over the psn store. Check your download list on psp and vita, you might find some ps3 games Or dlc that say you can Download them to your portable. Don’t do it though. You might need to format your memory stick after.

@nhSnork The lack of Vita sales genuinely baffles me. Like... even if there aren't a ton of us out there, surely some people still buy games in every sale. Why not keep putting those old games on sale? They're certainly not making money from those games otherwise.

@Ralizah Its bizarre. Particularly when you see the PS4 (non cross-buy) version of a game on sale.

Similarly delisting titles without any notice. Even if they only get 1 or 2 sales, that is still money. Truly baffling situation right now. My Vita wishlist hasn't gotten any smaller in months.

I wish Sony would just come out and tell us what is going on to put us out of our misery!

Vita isn't powerful enough to run DQXI. It could barely handle Borderlands 2 and RE Revelations at 15fps. 🤮

@Rob_230 Yep, is it just me or have the psn indie sales this year been increasingly rare? PS Blog have a few people mentioning the lack of Vita/legacy stuff on the Summer/Winter sale...I'd just be happy to see some ps4 indies that haven't had a sale yet get some!
