Sony has agreed to keep the PS Store online on the PS Vita, after previously announcing plans to discontinue it – but make no mistake, maintenance for the system’s storefront is at the very bottom of its list of priorities. Perhaps that would explain why error code NP-2244-2 is persisting after almost a week of discontent from the device’s fans on Reddit and social media.
Unfortunately, we’ve been unable to replicate the issue ourselves, as it seems the service is working as usual in the UK and North America. While there doesn’t appear to be a complete consensus on which territories are affected, it seems to be countries in continental Europe – like France – as well as parts of Asia and even Australia that have been hit by the outage.
There’s been no comment from Sony about what’s wrong and when it’ll be fixed, but we have contacted the manufacturer to try and find out more information. In the meantime, you’re just going to have to sit tight and wait for a fix, whenever that will arrive. Obviously, we understand the Japanese giant’s eyes are elsewhere these days, but this is still a problem that will ultimately need to be resolved.

Me playing Persona PSP perfectly fine through Adrenaline
Sony doesn't care at all about the device. Haven't for years. For better or worse (better if you're pirating games on it, I suppose, but stuff like this is frustrating for people who actually legally buy games on it still).
Oh no, the poor French!
@Ralizah I do think that's understandable, obviously PS5 and PS4 will have 99% of their players these days. But yeah, still need to get it fixed.
Anticipation of the store going down at any time without notice is why I downloaded and backed up all my Vita games to hdd.
I can see them using this as a reason to shut the store with no notice. Much like with the lbp servers
Thank you so much for posting about this, not working for me at all the past week!
I had some issues for 1 month that prevented me downloading ps plus games. It took them a while a sort it out. They're probably just waiting for people to finally give up...
I wasn't sure if they had shut the store or not, hoping it stays open as I still plan on picking up a few gems
Just because you don't actively produce titles or hardware for/of a system anymore doesn't mean you should abandon the MILLIONS of users who have purchased and used/still use your console. Shame on you Sony.
Sony have obviously updated something at the server end and not bothered checking the ramifications on anything like the Vita.
THANK YOU! I live in Sweden and been having big problems with accessing the store. I tried everything, but this explains it. Now pls pls pls Sony, fix this, don’t let the Vita die like this 🥺 I was going to buy Motorstorms RC for my Vita, but couldn’t 🥲 (I did manage to grab MGS3 before they pulled it from the store though!)
@Milktastrophe is that easy to do? Sounds like a solid plan, I've downloaded the ones I play most of all, but would like to be able to store the others....
Thank you very much for this information.
I have exactly the same problem in the German store.
I bought "Astro Aqua Kitty Bundle" through the PS4 Store a week ago and I can't download it to my Vita. I opened two Sony support tickets, one for the Vita and one for PS TV. One ticket should already be closed as I was online (e.g. trophies are working). The tickets don't even seem to be read properly anymore. A real tragedy.
they keep the psn store open unwillingly but it's left barren and broken regardless 😂😂
Still unable to reach the PSN servers. I can't sync trophies, access the store, log in. It's a disaster =[
I have an Irish account, living in Finland btw if it helps anyone. I've never had an issue like this. I'm travelling around Christmas time so hopefully I can access it from the few countries I'm visiting
