Early this morning, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan Asia (SCEJA) held a press conference in Tokyo where some new features were announced for both PS4 and PS Vita. In case you missed it, I’m happy to confirm that Themes, one of the most popular features from PlayStation 3, are coming to PS4 and PS Vita this fall with system software updates coming to both platforms.
With these two updates (v2.00 for PS4 and v.3.30 for PS Vita), you’ll be able to reflect your personality across all your PlayStation systems — PS4, PS3, and PS Vita! Themes are among the most requested features from PS4 owners, so we’re eager to offer them and will share more about the feature in the coming weeks. Here’s a sneak peek of what the PS4 & PS Vita home screens will look like with customized Themes.
These are images of themes announced at the SCEJA press conference. Designs are subject to change without notice.
We’ve also got an exciting update for PS Vita owners. Since the launch of PS4 last November, watching livestreams of what the PlayStation community is playing through the “Live from PlayStation” app has been a big part of the PS4 experience — in fact, 150 million livestreams have been watched as of the end of May.
This fall you’ll be able to watch PS4 live streams from Twitch and USTREAM on your PS Vita through the “Live from PlayStation” app. I’m particularly excited for the “Live from PlayStation” app’s arrival on PS Vita so I can catch the most epic PS4 live streams when I’m away from my PS4.
Stay tuned for more information on these upcoming updates.
Everyone is getting excited over themes, and I’m just sitting here wanting actual features like game suspend and mp3 playback.
I was hoping the PSvita themes would offer something other than bubbles, but still great news all around.

In the next update will you fix error codes like CE-34878 for example?

@86: The Playstation Vita is supposed to be a private HANDHELD, not a console. Even phones and 3DS’s don’t support user accounts. There is supposed to be no multi-user support on handhelds. Just tell me one handheld that supports multi-user.
Sorry, I meant 90. My bad.
Also, for Vita and PS4, I WANT LITTLEBIGPLANET themes!
