Introducing PlayStation TV, an entertainment system that extends the
capabilities of the PlayStation 4, allowing players to stream their PS4 games to
any TV in their house. PS TV makes the ideal companion to PS4, enhancing the
user experience and connectivity of the console and providing a second gaming
station for an attractive price.
Released in Japan and Asia in November 2013 as PlayStation Vita TV, the
system has since continuously evolved through software updates and content
enhancements. Adopting the same chip sets and system software as the PlayStation
Vita, PS TV has a 6.5×10.5 cm ultra slim size – the smallest of any
PlayStation platform that connects to a TV. In response to the demands from
users in Europe and the PAL region, SCEE will introduce the system under the new
name and colour, and will deliver entertainment experiences only possible on
PS TV.
The main features of the PS TV system are as follows:
- PlayStation 4 remote play: As with PS Vita, PS TV supports PS4 remote play
and wireless controllers (DualShock 3 or 4). This will allow PS4 owners in the
living room to continue playing a game on a PS TV system in their bedroom. You
can also enjoy most of your PS4 games on PS TV as if you were playing it on your
PS4 system (games requiring PlayStation Camera are not compatible).
- PlayStation Now: Once PlayStation Now is rolled out across the PAL region,
PS TV users will be able to comfortably enjoy PlayStation 3 games via
streaming.
- A vast lineup of software titles: PS TV offers a huge library of PS Vita,
PSP, and classic PS One titles. You'll be able to enjoy all of these titles
using a DualShock 3 or 4 controller.
