Released on May 10, 2022, System Software Update 3.74 is the current mandatory firmware for the PlayStation Vita
PS Vita system software update 3.74 is the end of the road. There will be no 3.75. No 4.00. This is the final version number that will ever grace a Vita’s system information screen. It is a quiet, 11 MB farewell to a handheld that was too powerful for its own time.

If You Are ON 3.74 (Stock):
- Can you install homebrew? Yes, but it is more difficult. You need a PC and a copy of Final Fantasy X-2 (or another exploitable game) or use the h-encore 3.74 method, which requires a linked PSN account.
- Stability: Perfect. Official games, digital downloads, and PS Store (while it limps on) work exactly as intended.
- Trophies: Full sync with PSN servers. No risk of ban for standard use.
