What is Near?[]
Near is the PS Vita's "location-based" app. It's pre-installed and free on every PS Vita. Basically, you use the app to check-in, and Near finds out who has been playing Vita in a ~10 mile radius. It was shut down on July 31st, 2017. ModNation Racers: Road Trip used to get some exclusive content using Near in some way. It's unavailable in it's traditional method now, but luckily, all the content was archived here: https://archive.org/details/ModNationRacersPsvitaCommunityArchive
