The Sony PS4 launches this week and prior to the new console’s release, the company has released their Sony PlayStation iOS app for download. The app requires a Sony Entertainment Network account and the PS4 to use all of the features.
Below is what the app will enable you to do via its iTunes description page:
With the PlayStation®App installed on your mobile device, you can:
- See what your friends are playing, compare trophies, and view your profile or recent activity.
- Chat with your friends; receive notifications, game alerts, and invitations, and then use your mobile device as an on-screen keyboard for your PS4™ system.
- Browse PlayStation®Store, pick-up the latest hit games and add-ons, and then push them to your PS4™ system so they are ready when you get home.
- Take advantage of the in-app second-screen features, when available, for greater challenges and control.
- Quickly access PlayStation® system guides, manuals, and PlayStation.Blog.
Sony first teased this app, which can act as a second screen, during its PS4 announcement back in February. The company later confirmed the app would be released in November, and here it is as promised.
