PlayStation Vita Firmware Update 3.18

There’ll be no danger of your PlayStation Vita ever tumbling off your coffee table again, as Sony has released a new stability update for the diminutive device. Available right now – and mandatory, we’re afraid – the patch doesn’t appear to change anything about the handheld’s user experience. Speculation suggests that it may have blocked some nefarious homebrew, however, though that’s purely the word on the grapevine.

The file is only small, so shouldn't take longer than a few minutes to download and install on an average Internet connection, but you will need to do it before you can connect to the PlayStation Network. As such, we recommend starting the process, walking to the kettle, and making a nice cup of tea – before moaning about the whole thing on Twitter. After all, we love it when our timeline is filled with people whinging.
