Sony has updated PlayStation Vita's system software to version 2.11 and the latest firmware is now available for download globally. The software update enhances overall performance for the PS Vita.
The update comes exactly one week after update 2.10 was released. Version 2.11 notably brings a few system stability fixes for bugs that came along with the release of firmware 2.10. "The software improves system stability and the playback of some titles," an online support coordinator on the European PlayStation forums writes.
Last week's release of version 2.10 brought a couple of major enhancements such as the ability to play videos in the handheld's web browser, added folders to the home screen, view HTML emails, easy game card detection and more.
In case you have missed out any of the major 2.10 improvements, here is the full list of notable changes as CVG lists them out:
- Create folders to more easily manage your favorite application icons on the home screen, with up to 10 icons in each folder and a maximum of 100 on the home screen (including icons inside the folders).
- Verify which PS Vita card you are using by looking at the home screen's info bar. You can also save the layout of your home screen icons in the memory card.
- Added video support allows you to play videos within the browser (memory card required; some videos are not supported).
- New email enhancements allows you to view HTML messages, add multiple email addresses to your contacts, and easily search your messages using the new search feature.
- PlayStation Plus members will be able to automatically update PlayStation Mobile format software and upload game save data onto online storage using 3G connection.
- New "Mute Automatically" option will mute your PS Vita speakers when your headset is unplugged and pause your music when using the music app.
