Salt and Sanctuary on PSVita Now!
Salt and Sanctuary is now available on PlayStation®Vita! If you don’t already own it, you can buy it on the PlayStation store here.
Update: The Europe version is now live, too!
Unfortunately, last minute issues are causing the Europe version to be delayed. We are so sorry about this delay and working to get it available as soon as possible. I’ll update here and on our social medias once we know more. Follow us at @skastudios @shelldragon @jamezila.
Cross-Buy Workaround
If you purchased Salt and Sanctuary on PS4 previously, you should be able to download the game on PSVita for free. However, we’ve been informed that this isn’t showing up for some people. Sony gave us a temporary workaround: re-downloading the game on your PS4 will cause the Vita version to unlock. Some people are also having luck queuing up the download from the PlayStation Store on the web. They’re working to get it sorted out so it just works, but the workaround at least means you won’t be buying the game twice.
Bugs
While we hope everyone will enjoy our Vita launch, there are some launch issues to be aware of that Sickhead Games and we are working on.
- Crashing in various places such as Hagar’s Cavern and Ruined Temple – looking into this asap
- Online features, such as messages and tombstones, are disabled at the moment
- Logos and icon on the launch loading screens flicker
- The launch loading screen just takes too long!
- The store is showing the game as available on PS3 – I’m told this is referencing PS3 > Vita remote play
I’ll be adding to our known issues list here as I can!
Thanks everyone and happy playing and again so many apologies for the delay and the cross-buy issue. For those who are unsure, the cross-buy promotion is through the PlayStation Network for PS4 and PSVita. Sorry for the confusion.

are you guys planning on fixing the issue with the alchemist’s apron? when you equip it, it has the same model as the ragged hakama
Thank you for this great game on the vita… I would have missed out on it if you hadn’t made the port possible… I enjoyed every second…
I want to coop by multiple people. If PSVITA is impossible, I want you to release it with Nintendo switch.
@Andrew Thank you. I couldn’t work out how I racked up 350hrs. The timer on my character has confused me since day one.
found a bug:
gameplay time counts while your vita is asleep, my character is like 90’ish hours old, while i’m only in a third area
FYI update still crashes in Hagars Cavern.
Not sure about other areas yet.
@Sigma Try pressing the refresh button at the top before you launch the game.
One quick question: In the NA PS Store, the price for S&S on Vita is higher than on PS4 ($24 CAD vs $18 CAD, even though it’s cross-buy). When you look at sales stats, I just want you to know that though my purchase registers as PS4, I bought the game specifically to play on PS Vita.
I have been anticipating this moment for a long while now. I know it’s been a pain but thanks so much for porting S&S to Vita. It matters to me.
My version is still 1.00 A then crashes alot but i somehow managed to pass some crashes till now… is it supposed to be normal?
Wow, I timed my previous comment well. Booted up after downloading patch and no flickering. I howevee have no idea where I am up to in this game now and am contemplating a restart
Pretty safe to say that I will have lost my ability to play this well by the time a patch comes through.
Can anyone confirm whether the flickering logo is on the PS4 version? Is it Vita only or is it a design decision?
Looks like patch is out now. Fixes that damned flashing. The logo was supposed to pulse a little, not flash like it did.
Thank for the fix! having no crash now. YAYYYY
The Tree if Man fight runs at a single digit FPS. Damn near impossible when it pays that slow.
Please god fix this.
My stepbrother had a seizure last night as I was booting up the game and decided to come over and check it out. Haven’t booted it up since but did call Sony and make an incident report. As others have mentioned the game gives trophies very early so sony is unable to issue a refund as it shows it at 55% completion. I truly hope that in the future Ska goes with a different developer for a port. This is the first and last game I purchase with Sickhead on board. Unnacceptable.
If anyone else is still struggling with the crashes here’s the solution, it really works!!!

Finally i can finish the damn game!
Since such brand new type of well inspired-games is quite rare its a shame cuz apart for those crashes the entire game for what it takes is absolutely a blast .blame SickHead Games .
@William As an epileptic, that flashing is not appreciated or necessary. It kills me every time.
@ConVic it’s bad enough I’m wishing there were a refund system on PSN and I’d just get the PC version instead.
Sadly the game gives trophies very early, and before the worst crashing. So no possibility of a refund once you see how bad the crashing gets. If I didn’t know that it works ok on other systems I’d wonder if the early trophy was deliberate. Still feeling a bit ripped off by the Vita release. Wish I had a PS4 so I could at least have a playable version of the game for my money.
Game seems good, but crashes are bad enough for me to give up till patched. Also the flashing during first loading is almost migraine inducing. I have to look away till it finishes load.
So my game would crash on me in the Alkymancery in the same spots. So I went to the earlier areas and discovered some bosses left unkilled. I defeated them and to my surprise my game wouldn’t crash anymore.
strangely I do better on the vita then I do on the console
This is an absolute gem. It could be a system seller. It is the reason I got my Vita (just as The Dishwasher was my reason for a 360), however, the bugs have caused me to lose progress too many times and I am shelving the game until it is patched.
Cannot wait to get back into it.
