PlayStation iOS and Android App Details Surface

October 25, 2013 in news

In a report by Kotaku, details of Sony's new mobile app have been revealed as well as its November 13th release date. The app's PS4 link feature is only accessible after the PS4's day one software update is installed on your shiny new console.

The new app has a ton of functionality including the ability to purchase games on the phone to download on your PS4, as well as being able to watch your friends play games live and comment on their gaming. In addition, this app enable your phone to be used as a remote so you can power on your PS4 without having to grab the DualShock 4. 

here's the list of functionality directly from Kotaku: 

  • Directly access various PSN features and informationP

Users can access their own profile screen.

Users can access/compare their own and friends' Trophy accomplishments.

Exchange messages between PS4 systems, PlayStation 3 systems, PlayStation Vita systems, and mobile devices installed with PlayStation App.

Access and filter friend profiles.

Notify users about their friends' shared activities on "What's New".

Notify PS4 users when they receive any new notifications or game invitations. Users can also display their lists of game items.

  • Browse the official PlayStation website and access information

Users can access the PlayStation official website to browse through news, blogs and game information. The language and content of the website will depend on the country the user's Sony Entertainment Network account is registered.

  • PS4 Second Screen Feature

Users can install PlayStation App on to their mobile devices to use as a second screen in supported games. For example on THE PLAYROOM, a title pre-installed in all PS4 systems that requires PlayStation Camera, users can draw pictures on their mobile device screens and flick them towards the TV. The images then appear as a 3D object within the game.

  • Spectate other PS4 users' gameplay

When users' friends upload or begin live streaming their gameplay on PS4 systems, the friends' activities are displayed on "What's New" of the PlayStation App screen. When users tap on this notification, they can boot pre-installed applications, such as browsers, to spectate the uploaded gameplay. Users can also post comments on gameplay screenshots, footage and live streams.

  • Purchase game content on PlayStation Store

Users can purchase game content while away from home and download it directly onto their PS4, PS3, and PS Vita systems.

  • Use a mobile device as a simple remote to control the PS4 system

Once installed, users can use their PlayStation App to control their PS4 system as long as both devices have access to the same Wi-Fi access point. For example, users can switch their PS4 system to standby mode, startup their PS4 system from standby mode, and use their mobile phone as a keyboard for their PS4 system.

The new app launches on November 13th with the PS4 right behind it on November 15th.
