Themes Come To PlayStation Vita Tonight As Part Of Update 3.30
The PlayStation Vita is getting a new system update this evening that will bring along a number of customization options. Among them is the option to purchase and install themes that change your background and icons.
Four themes will be available at launch (no prices have yet been listed), with game-related decorations (like the Uncharted: Golden Abyss skin seen above) coming later. The update will also enable customization of the background music.
The new patch also brings added functionality to the calendar app. With it installed, you’ll be able to send meeting/appointment invitations to friends using the messaging or email apps. Finally, the trophy rarity feature of the PS4 comes to Vita, so you can know just how special each of your accomplishments really is.

Our Take
This seems like such a small thing, but we tend to spend so much time with our gaming devices that making them feel just that much more “ours” goes a long way. I’m looking forward to more accessible customization choices, especially since screenshots can be used to dress up the backgrounds.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
