January 15, 2014 by Stephen Daly

Supports both PSN and Vita specific features for developers with licenses from Sony.

Unity has announced that software version 4.3 will add support for Sony's PlayStation Vita in a blog post.

The cross platform development tool will enable developers with a license from SCE to make games for the development and take advantage of platform specific features including the motion sensors, front and rear cameras, dual analogs, and rear touch pad.

PlayStation Network features like Trophies and Friends will also be supported.

Unity commented:

"Today, we’re thrilled to announce that with Unity 4.3 we’re releasing Unity for PlayStation Vita to the public.

"As with all the other platforms we support, Unity for PS Vita allows you to develop your game once, without rewriting the code from scratch; simply build and run it on your PS Vita devkit."

In March last year, Unity announced that it would be coming to all PlayStation platforms including PS3, PS4, PS Vita, and PS Mobile.
