Sony Reveals New PS4 Companion App For iOS And Android

Sony has recently revealed its upcoming companion app for the PlayStation 4 console. The app will make its way onto both iOS and Android and is scheduled to launch alongside the console this November.

The new app allows you to take the PlayStation experience with you when you’re away from your console, including trophy information, status of friend and the PlayStation Store. Gamers will also be able to send and receive both text and voice messages, purchase games, and receive invites from other PS4 users.

The app will also allow the device it is being used on to act as a second screen, although this will depend largely on the title and whether it supports second screens. This means that the tablet or smartphone running the app can be used to input additional commands or activate bonus features, such as the in the Knack game where items can be created on the tablet before being pushed into the actual game.
