Sony has already launched the new PlayStation app that comes with a new layout, messages integration and voice chat support. The new application is made to improve your gaming experience on both PS5 and PS4. As a matter of fact, it has already been rolled out worldwide through updates on both Android and iOS devices.

The most notable upgrades to the application include a sleek interface plus a new home screen showing what friends are playing. Besides, it gives users the ability to access details on recently played games. The PlayStation Messages application feature is currently integrated into the new PlayStation application. With this, it’s pretty easy for players to message friends from one place.

Also, the fact that Playstation messages will not be available as a standalone application anymore means that the existing threads and messages will have to move over to the new Playstation application. Below are the key features of the new Playstation app:

Upgraded User Interface


 Well, the first thing you will see on the new revamped PS app is the sleek user interface. With the new home screen, you will easily see what your friends are playing and even collect the recently played games' details. In addition, you will be able to see your Trophy List.

Voice Chat and Party Groups


 Currently, it is possible to create party groups from the Playstation application. Additionally, from your mobile device, you can easily voice chat with about 15 friends. Notably, the PlayStation team says that by evaluating users' criticism, it has been able to address their issues with the latest upgrade to the party system.

Messages Integration


 In order to assure a unified experience, the Playstation Messages application is now integrated with the new PS app so you can effortlessly message your friends from a central place. As a part of this new integration, PS Messages will no longer be offered as a standalone app. Basically, your current messages and threads in Playstation Messages will be moved over to the updated PlayStation app.

Integrate PS Store with Remote Downloads


 In general, the new native Playstation store experience ensures smooth and fast browsing and shopping, with the capability to remotely download games as well as add-ons straight to your PS5 and PS4.

New PS5 Features


 With PS5, you will have the ability to directly start games, sign in to the console and manage the console’s storage from the Playstation app. The application will also be helpful when it comes to updating you with the latest PS news from both PS Blog and game developers.

Furthermore, the new Playstation application seems quite impressive and the fact that it has more integrated features means that it will make a lot of things much more convenient. Precisely, the availability of actual Playstation store integration will simplify the process of buying games and activating game code. Besides, it will make it pretty easy to download games on either PS5 or PS4 remotely.

Indeed, it will be exciting to know much more about what this new exciting app can accomplish and see how Sony anticipates modifying the new Party system following the recent feedback from users. 

What’s the Hype with New Playstation App?


 First, the new app comes with a clean, simple and redesigned interface. The interface simply lets you discover, connect and control the content on your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 4. Remember, most functionalities, such as accessing the latest news, connecting with friends and downloading games, will work across the two platforms. However, there are a few functionalities that are exclusive to PlayStation 5.

 When it comes to the functionalities that work on both PS5 and PS4, messaging your PlayStation network friends and voice chat will only be available to users that have the updated PlayStation application. Previously, the messaging application was not integrated with the PlayStation app. However, this is no longer the case because the messaging experience has been enhanced by incorporating the app into the main app.

 In terms of aesthetics and design, the app comes with a notification bar at the top, incorporating a ‘Friends’ tab and ‘Parties’ tab. The settings and notifications options are positioned right below the notification bar. At the bottom, you will see a redesigned dock with ‘Explore,’ ‘Play,’ ‘Game Library,’ ‘PS Store’ as well as ‘Search’ options.

 Finally, you can get the official PlayStation companion app from App Store or Google Play Store for free. Nonetheless, you’ll need to have a PlayStation Network account to log into and use the application.
