Vita3K is the most advanced emulator for playing PS Vita. Originally released for Windows and Mac, the Android version of this emulator is a great way to enjoy the games from Sony's latest portable console anywhere you want.

PlayStation Vita was launched in Japan in late 2011 and ceased production in March 2019. These 8 years produced tons of great games, including Gravity Rush, Uncharted: The Golden Abyss, Tearway, Persona 4 Golden, Killzone: Mercenary, Dragon's Crown, and many others. Now, you can play your PlayStation Vita games once again on your Android smartphone or tablet.

When you open Vita3K, you'll have to install the corresponding console firmware and fonts to make the games look as good as possible. After that, you'll see a menu where you can install copies of your original games and other items via VPK, ZIP, and PKG files.

Vita3K allows you to play either by using virtual controls on the screen or by connecting a controller via USB or Bluetooth. It's also possible to play with other players over the Internet in some games that have implemented online home gaming.

Vita3K is open source and can run a wide variety of games. A list of compatible games is available on the official website. The vast majority are playable with no glitches, or with the occasional visual glitch. On the other hand, other games may not even run or may not go beyond the menu, so you'll have to check the compatibility for each title.

Another important detail is that the performance of Vita3K may vary depending on the device being used. Emulation requires a lot of hardware power, so there may be performance issues on mid-range or older devices.

All in all, if you want to play PS Vita games on Android, downloading the Vita3K APK is the best option.
