**Thanks Wololo, ownership has been passed on to me as I'd like to see this updated and kept up to date, at least for a little while, so bear with me as I try to get it up to date over the next few days,

And keep the required firmwares coming...**

So I decided to start a list of all the PSVita games that we can and the required firmware you must have to play them. This list is community driven so if you have information please post! Because a lot of people have past the necessary requirements I will also be posting up speculations and confirmations of that game. This is all in an effort to assist people buying Game Cartridges while trying to maintain on a low firmware. I hope people can find this of some help.

The games in orange, to clarify, means that we have not confirmed that it is the lowest possible firmware. However, the game is confirmed to work on that version. It does not go on the list if someone has not played it on that version.

Key: Speculation or Confirmed lowest firmware

* = Some games are only available via the PSN. These games require a certain firmware to run; which is different than than the firmware required to download games from the PSN (latest). These are listed for informational purposes or for those spoofing to get onto the PSN (or similar).

Decided to not go with the colour system of new additions it was too difficult to work out whether contributions were confirms or just working FW's. Any games found to work at a lower FW than one listed please just post the listed FW and the FW to which it should be corrected and i'll edit the post with the lower FW as soon as i can.

Remember to add regions.

Thanks everybody for your contributions.

Up to date as of 8.1.15

Happy new year everybody.

Does anyone know if there is a PSV firmware compatibility list for all the games? This could provide most useful for people who are stuck on a lower firmware than the latest (such as me (1.61)) and do not want to force update because a game requires them to. I would make the list myself if I was more readily able to a ton of vita games without putting a hole in my wallet.

ps: I am willing to be the list holder and maintainer if none exists. However the list would be mostly community contributed.

Thanks
Darkenvy

afaik there are no vita games that force you to update, only do a game update.

Interesting question, for now no forced update, but i think they can easily insert update into games and force you to update in order to play them in future..

We need to watch out. Ressurect this thread or make a new one if anyone finds this to be true. It will be unfortunate if I find out the hard way

i just hope thats not the case in the future with AAA titles coming our way

there are in fact forced updates on physical and digital games
its just the required FW is so low that we all are above it :3

actually im pretty sure Gravity Rush wanted me to update to 1.61? not too sure about which firmware it was, but i do recall Gravity Rush asking me to update. as i didnt have VHBL at the time, i went ahead and updated

Gravity Rush requires OFW 1.67. But I think it would be a great idea to make a list with all PSV games and their required FW. I think this could be really interesting in the near future.

im sure the big games will make you update ala LBP COD ect

I forgot to check back in on this thread thinking I got my answer. So there in fact ARE required games requiring forced update. Hmmm. I don't know if "we are all above it" as thats kinda the whole point of the list. We started on 1.5 and I got to 1.61 personally. Thats really close to the original firmware.
