Sony Gearing Up To Launch PlayStation App For iPhone, Android
Microsoft already has Xbox Live Anywhere implementing the popular online service into Windows Phone 7 to keep tabs on Live activity on the go, so it's no big surprise Sony is headed in the same direction. The company is planning to release the free Official PlayStation App for iPhone, iPod Touch, and Android.
According to PlayStation.Blog the Official PlayStation App will include the following features:
- Check out your PlayStation Network trophies and keep up to date with your friends’ games and online status.
- Discover all the latest games, news and hardware for your PS3, PSP, PS2.
- Read all the announcements on the European PlayStation.Blog.
- Share your favorite products or news with your friends on Facebook, Twitter or via e-mail.
You read that correctly. It will primarily hold announcements from the European PlayStation.Blog as the app is only scheduled to release in the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, and the Netherlands. No word on whether or not the app will release in the U.S., but provided launch is a success, the app could very well come stateside. Sony has yet to announce when the Official PlayStation App will go live.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
