PS4 Second Screen Android

Make the most of the functions of your PS4 on your Android

Beyond the rage for pixellated games, if we take a look at any modern video game console it's like looking through a window. Systems have advanced to such an extent that it's hard to believe that they're only games. If you've got a PS4, you've got a treasure. Or something similar. But what if you could get more out of it thanks to your Android mobile device? Well, you now can thanks to PS4 Second Screen that allows you to:

• Control your video console with basic controls.
• Use your phone or tablet as a second screen.
• Input text on your PS4 (we all know how tiresome it is to write on a PlayStation).
• View comments during broadcasts.

Use your mobile device to handle the basic controls of your PS4.
