Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational Coming To PlayStation 3
The formerly PlayStation Vita exclusive Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational is coming to the PlayStation 3.
The PlayStation 3 version of the game will support the option to play with the Move, and all the Vita version's downloadable content and save files will be cross-compatible with the PlayStation 3 version. Vita and PlayStation 3 players will also be able to play against each other online.
The game will be available on July 23 for $19.99. For more on World Invitational, check out our review of the original Vita version of the game.

Our Take
Hot Shots has traditionally been a franchise that always shows up to welcome new hardware, so it's a little confusing to see a sort-of new Hot Shots game releasing right at the tail end of the PlayStation 3's life. It seems almost like a waste of time to port the game, when the studio might be better suited trying to get a new game ready for the PlayStation 4. In any case, there is not much to complain about, especially for fans of the Vita version who want to play the game on a big screen.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
