With only days to head before the discharge of the PlayStation 4 on Friday, Sony today released its companion mobile app for its upcoming console. The PlayStation App is now available at no cost through both Apple’s App Store and Google Play.

The app was first previewed in a video Sony released previewing its vision for an inclusive PlayStation ecosystem that revolves across the PlayStation 4, PS Vita, and mobile devices. It was then detailed and demoed back in September across the time of the Tokyo Game Show.

The PlayStation App allows PlayStation 4 gamers to take care of with their PlayStation 4 details while on-the-go. The app allows users to see what their PSN friends are playing and search through their profiles or easily send messages over the network in a chat interface. Trophies and recent friend activity can all be seen at the app, and all of this stuff, including game invitations and alerts, may be accessed quickly through a notifications bar.

The app can also be the software that permits gamers to use their tablet or smartphone as an interface device for games that support such functionality. Game manuals and the PlayStation Blog can be viewed during the app.

More importantly for Sony, the PlayStation App provides full access to the PlayStation Store. Gamers would be in a position to purchase games and add-ons anywhere, then immediately push them to their PS4 console for download.
