PSP (PlayStation Portable) is a portable console from Sony, which is also a mobile prototype of the more famous PlayStation console. Despite the fact that the PSP is no longer in such great demand as before, and is being pushed out of the gaming market by the more modern PS Vita model, developers continue to release games for the old console, delighting gadget owners. However, how to download games on PSP?
Method one: PlayStation Network
PlayStation Network is an online service from Sony where you can purchase and download games for the portable console. The assortment is built in such a way that in a few clicks you can find all the games released for your gadget.
- After launching PlayStation Network, select the games you are interested in, pay and download the application distribution kit to your computer’s hard drive, after specifying the folder for downloading files. Some projects come with free demo versions: you will have the opportunity to evaluate the game, gameplay and content before purchasing it.
- Make sure there is enough free space on the Memory Stick Duo. Insert the card into the port at the bottom left of the console, go to the Game menu and open the Memory Stick tab. The window that appears will display information about the free memory on the card.
- Connect your PSP to your personal computer via USB or mini-USB.
- The console must be connected in USB mode. To do this, select the appropriate item from the drop-down menu and confirm your choice.

- Disconnect your console from your computer and disable USB mode. From the PSP main menu, open the "GAME" tab and open the Memory Stick option. To see the downloaded files, click the "X" button.
Method two: torrent trackers and portals
Of course, not every PSP owner will want to pay a huge sum for one game. Today, many advanced users of personal computers have learned to “hack” the factory firmware of gadgets, which allows them to use not only licensed, but also “pirated” games, removing all restrictions.
