  • Sony Removing YouTube and Maps Apps from the Vita

    Late last night, Sony revealed that the Maps application, the YouTube application, and some features of the near application will be removed from the PlayStation Vita.


    The links take you to PlayStation support pages for Maps and for YouTube that explain the closures in slightly more detail. The YouTube app will no longer be supported after April 20. After January 28, the app will no longer be available for download. The thought is that nobody wants to actually update the YouTube app to the latest API version.

    Maps and some features of the near application will be disabled as part of a system update coming in March. Sony claims that the features that will be disabled "will not affect gameplay."
