Just now, Sony has provided its PlayStation Vita and PlayStation TV owners with a new firmware package, namely version 3.61, which should include some performance improvements and bug fixes for issues spotted while using certain features.

When it comes to applying this update on your device, you can choose one of the following methods: using any wireless network available, connecting the device to a computer or PlayStation 3 system, or through a compatible memory card on which you have priorly copied the new firmware.

To be clearer, when using a Wi-Fi network, you must go to Settings → Start → System Update → Update Using Wi-Fi, and the PS Vita will do the rest. It will automatically search for new firmware, and when found, it will guide you through the installation steps.

When a wireless connection isn’t available, you can use the one already present on a computer or PS3 system (must be connected to a PS Vita unit). The path is quite the same, namely, Settings → Start → System Update → Update by Connecting to a PS3 System (or Update by Connecting to a PC).

As for the last-mentioned update method, you must save the downloadable .PUP file onto an empty memory card, insert it into your PS Vita console (and into the PS TV afterwards) while it’s turned off, power it on, and the device will automatically recognize and apply the new software version.

This said, download Sony PlayStation Vita / PlayStation TV Firmware 3.61, carefully apply it on your console, and constantly check our website in order to stay “updated one minute ago.”
