Sony has announced the launch of the official PlayStation app, which keeps users connected to their console straight from a connected device.
The PlayStation Network can be accessed, giving PS fans free roam of their own and friends profiles as well as trophy accomplishments.
Messages can be exchanged between PS4, PS3, PlayStation Vita and mobile devices installed with the app, and notifications can also be received about any news, game invites and game items can be listed through the software.
The official PlayStation website can be accessed directly from the app, which features game news, blogs and information, plus a device can be used as a second screen for selected titles.
For example, on pre-installed PS4 title The Playroom, players can draw pictures on their mobile device and flick them straight to their TV where they appear as a 3D object within the game.
Friends activities can be viewed in the ‘what’s new’ section, and when notifications are tapped on, users can boot pre-installed applications, such as browsers so they can view uploaded gameplay, and comment.
Game content may be downloaded via the PlayStation app, and sent straight to a PS Vita, PS3 and PS4 console.
The app is available to download today for iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Android.
