Festive portable deals take off from Xbox Ally, Nintendo, PlayStation and Evercade

This page started for black Friday but has moved on as the deals come and go. I will update across the festive sales, as new portable hardware deals appear. I won't hype them as "pocket change" or "fire sale" like some sites, because that's bollocks.  December deals :  Evercade has 30% off various hardware, depending on the store, check the blog for details .  PlayStation Portal is currently £20 off on Amazon UK  (another £10 off for refurbs)  Update: Valve has jumped in with 20% off the Steam Deck LCD 256GB model (down to £279 in the UK) Update: Xbox Ally has various deals (pretty short-lived, but likely getting cut again for the post Christmas sale).  Update: PlayStation Portal has £20 off the range, bringing the white and black models down to £179, and 30th Anniversary Edition to £189. (Look out for another 5% off at checkout!)  First up is  Evercade offering a clutch of offers on hardware and games on Amazon and across other stores in Europ...

How easy is it to port Unity games to the Vita?

A good question since Sony is effectively winding down development on the console. Sure, the Vita has its champions at Sony, but how many months will it be before they're reduced to polite requests for hand-me-down PS4 versions?

So, you're an indie, with a great mobile or PC Unity game and you want to get it running on the Vita, how hard is it? Apparently, not too hard according to Baka Neko with a port of Project Light in the works. The summary seems to be, porting code and getting it running is very easy, if rather slowly for effects heavy titles.


With optimisation, those effects should work on the Vita, and the frame rate can be improved to playable. Hopefully, there will soon be a public resource of common/easy Vita optimisations to encourage others to have a go at bringing in Unity titles.

There's certainly lots going on in the Unity ecosystem, and most of these games look like a good fit on the Vita. Will developers start spreading the word? Or is the official release of Unity too little/too late for the handheld?

Currently playing on my Vita/PS3/PS4/PS5
