Sony Interactive Entertainment have released a system software update - Version: 3.0.0 - for the PlayStation Portal.

The system software update adds the ability to connect to public Wi-Fi networks, visual feedback when using the touchpad area on the screen during Remote Play, and more.

Read the patch notes below:

Version: 3.0.0

  • PS Portal can now connect to public networks. If there's a public network available in places such as hotels, cafes, and airports, you can connect your PS Portal to the Wi-Fi by entering the required information (such as ID, password, and room number) using your mobile phone or computer.
    • To connect to public networks, make sure that the initial setup for your PS Portal is completed. 
    • To comply with regulations for various countries and regions, PS Portal might not support connections to certain public networks, such as 5GHz networks.
  • When you use the touchpad area on the screen during Remote Play, you’ll now see visual feedback.
  • Your PS Portal can now display the remaining battery level as a percentage on the status bar at the top right of the screen. Open the quick menu, go to Settings > System > Battery, and then turn on Show Battery Percentage.
  • We've improved system software performance and stability.
  • We've improved the messages and usability on some screens.

They were afraid of adding in a web browser as almost all hacks for there systems uses the browser. So they had to come up with another way... which they found. So good on them.
