PlayStation App Updated For Remote Game Storage Management And More
Can't wait for that PlayStation 5? You can get ready with the updated PlayStation App, which is expected to hit iOS and Android today. The app has a fresh look, allows for voice chat with friends, a smattering of social features, and more. However, probably the biggest hook of the updated app is the ability to remotely manage your software. You can buy games and start those hefty downloads before you get home, which will hopefully make life a lot easier on big release days.
Getting everything convenient and easy to use under one unified app is nice, but there are some potential pitfalls in our consolidated future as well. You may not care that an algorithm may be listening in to you and Uncle Jimmy discuss a fresh cut of pizza over voice chat while planning a Genshin Impact session, but you never know how things could turn out... In the meantime, update your app and get ready to download all kinds of fun stuff!
Check out the new features video below for a full look at what you can do in the PlayStation App, or go read more on the app here.
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.
