PlayStation®Vita YouTube app support termination FAQ

The YouTube application for PlayStation®Vita (PS Vita) will no longer be supported after 20 April 2015, and the application will cease to be available for download from PlayStation®Store on 28 January, 2015.

You can continue to enjoy YouTube via the "Browser" application (http://m.youtube.com), and will be able to access your YouTube data, such as playlists and channels, by signing in to the same Google account via the “Browser” app and on other devices.

Q: Are there any differences between the YouTube app and YouTube using the “Browser” ?

A: In general, you are able to enjoy YouTube on the “Browser” like you were able to on the YouTube app. For example, you can enjoy the same video content and watch them in the same quality. However, there are several features that you cannot enjoy via the “Browser,” for example, you will not be able to select other video content if you are already playing a video.
