PS Vita Wi-fi and tethering

ps-vita

I have an Android phone able to provide 3G data connection over WiFi Tethering, and I would like to know if the WiFi version of PS Vita is able to use it to play online and access leaderboard features or if instead is limited in some way by Sony firmware/hardware.

Best Answer

Using my phone as a wifi-hotspot had enabled me to access everything I've tried so far, which includes the store, friends, chat, trophies, and online scoreboards in-game.

I've yet to try a multiplayer game through it, but will test it later.

  • Samsung Galaxy Nexus
  • PS Vita Wifi
