Nieuwe firmware PlayStation Vita voorzien van details

Sony heeft de details van de nieuwe firmware van de PlayStation Vita vrijgegeven. Firmware 3.30 verscheen gisteren voor Sony's handheld en deze bracht de nodige vernieuwing met zich mee. Eindelijk eens een firmware die iets anders doet dan het stabiliseren van de bestaande software.

Vanaf nu is het onder andere mogelijk om een thema of achtergrond op je Vita in te stellen. Een thema zal je nog niet goed lukken, aangezien er nagenoeg geen thema's zijn vrijgegeven voor de PlayStation Vita. Daarnaast is het nu mogelijk om te zien hoe zeldzaam een trophy is, iets wat op de PlayStation 4 al beschikbaar is. Verder zijn onder andere de kalender en browser onder handen genomen. Bekijk hieronder de volledige lijst aan vernieuwingen.
