Media Player Coming to Playstation 4 - E3 2015

Media Player Coming to Playstation 4

Sony announced the release of their all new Playstation Media Player. The player will be available for download tonight on the PlayStation 4, and allow playback of a wide variety of music and movie formats.

The Media Player works with both your home server and when plugging a USB stick with media into one of the available ports on the PS4. Your home server will appear as a media option in the player automatically and finding your media is simple and quick. You may also simply enjoy music as background music on your PS4!
