Features

Connect with friends and parties

The PlayStation App shows who’s online and what they’re playing. From your phone, you can view player profiles and trophy info, send text messages, and jump into voice chat parties. You can also watch a friend’s PS5 Share Screen to follow gameplay in real time.

PS5 game captures on your phone

When your PS5 uploads screenshots and short video clips, the PlayStation App displays them automatically. Clips can be up to around three minutes and are stored in the cloud for a limited time. You can save them to your device or share them with friends and supported social apps in just a few taps.

Shop and track deals

Browse new releases, upcoming games, and special offers directly inside the PlayStation App through the PlayStation Store. Build a Wishlist and set up price drop notifications so you can catch sales and pre-orders without constantly checking your console.

Control your console remotely

Use the PlayStation App to start remote downloads, manage add-ons, and launch games so your console is ready to go. You can also handle PS5 storage and take advantage of quick sign-in during setup or when adding a new console. Note: some remote features require a PS4 or PS5 sign-in and that the console is in rest mode.

Timely news and notifications

Stay informed with PlayStation news and lock screen alerts for invites, updates, and store releases. You can tune your notification settings to only receive the alerts you care about, helping you stay up to date without juggling multiple apps.

PlayStation Stars
