PlayStation Vita System Software Update v1.66 Now Live

24 hours after Sony released the PlayStation Vita System software update v1.65, which was designed to bring minor enhancements to the Vita like an On/Off Notification Alert setting and improved ‘Near’ functionality, the company had to pull the update. Due to a small bug, adhoc play in PSP titles seems to have stopped working.

 We identified a symptom that users can not play adhoc play in PSP titles if they download the system software, so we have taken down the system software temporarily. The system software will be available to download again soon. 

Originally though to be released by weeks end, Sony has now pushed out the PlayStation Vita System software update v1.66 which is designed to address the mentioned bug with no additional enhancements. As always, Vita owners can download the update by either using the built in Wi-Fi or plugging in their portable to a Mac or PC and using Sony’s Content Manager app.
