PlayStation App update adds live game-streaming viewing

A new update has arrived for the PlayStation app on both iOS and Android. Included inside is the rather nifty ability of watch live streamed games.

A Live With PlayStation button will take you to a list of currently-streaming videos. Clicking on one will then take you to a page where you can learn more about the game, player, and open up Ustream or Twitch either in-browser or through an app (just the former for Twitch) to watch the game.

On top of that, the app will now stop turning on your PS4 to accept friend requests and the like. Not a bad little upgrade, really.
