Manrique Brenes, senior director of the consumer electronics group at Skype, took to the Playstation blog to make the announcement. Brenes stated, “very happy to announce that the Skype Video and Voice calling app for PS Vita will be available later today on PlayStation Store”.

 

Gamers will be able to “enjoy free Skype calls on PS Vita” and will work on “both the 3G/Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi models”. Skype on the PS Vita willincludes free Skype-to-Skype voice calling, and “high-quality video calling”. that utilizes PS Vita’s “front and rear cameras”.

 

Brenes went into some detail on how the service will work, you can watch the video below:

The Skype app on PS Vita runs in “background mode” while you’re gaming or using other applications* — meaning you have the capability to “pause” a game, conduct a call and then return to your previous activity — so you never miss a call. Plus, with a little Skype credit you can make low-cost calls to landlines and mobile directly from your PS Vita.
