Update 2.0 for PlayStation Vita rolls out tomorrow in the U.S. and includes an upgraded web browser and PlayStation Plus support.

As part of the update PlayStation Plus will be added to the handheld at no extra charge to subscribers and offers four free games per month via the Instant Games Collection. The first batch of games includes Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Gravity Rush, Chronovolt and Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack.

The Vita’s web browser is also getting a revamp, according to Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios head Shuhei Yoshida who revealed that the browser will now be a mini app allowing for faster browsing speed and the ability to multi-task.

Finally the handheld will also be getting an extra 1GB of cloud storage for PlayStation Plus users which when added to the PlayStation 3 offers 2GB of storage across both platforms. The update is out tomorrow, November 20 in the U.S. and November 21 in Europe.
