Sony’s PlayStation App for Android and iOS will land in North America on November 13th and in Europe on November 22nd, right on time for the PlayStation 4 launch. The app will serve as a companion app for games on the PS4, allowing players to access things like their profile, trophies, achievements, and friends lists.
The PlayStation App also servers as a remote control for the PlayStation 4. You can put the console into standby mode, start up the console remotely and use the app as a keyboard for the console. This functionality is similar to Microsoft’s SmartGlass app for the Xbox.
PlayStation 3 users aren’t left out completely, as the PlayStation App serves as a chat client for PS3 and Vita users. The app also allows users to purchase games on the PlayStation Network and have it remotely download onto their PS4, PS3, or PS Vita.
