Last night, Sony released the 3.00 system software update for the PlayStation Vita, which not only adds the PS4 Link App, but a host of other features as well.
Sony has posted the full list of features and enhancements for 3.00, which you can see below:
PS4 Link App
- The PS4 Link app has been added to the PS Vita system’s home screen. With this application, you can use your PS Vita to remotely control a PS4 system, and play a range of PS4 games on your PS Vita screen. When you’re playing a game on PS4 that supports second screen features, you can also display information from that game on your PS Vita and use it as a second screen.
Parental Controls
- The Parental Controls application has been added. You can start the application from the home screen. You can manage the duration children and teenagers can play, and the use of games and videos that have parental controls. You can also manage the ability of children and teenagers to use system features as necessary. To adjust settings, you must enter the passcode you entered when you first started the Parental Controls application.
Photos
- Panoramic Camera has been added to the LiveArea screen. You can now use Omnidirectional, Tall and Wide, and other modes to take panoramic photos. You can also view the photos you take.
