Sony reveals PlayLink

Sony has revealed PlayLink, a new PS4 feature that allows users to play games with friends and family through smartphones and tablets.

Sony’s E3 2017 conference was full of great video game reveals, but perhaps one of the more interesting things we learned about this year is the Sony PlayLink, a new PlayStation feature that allows you to play PS4 PlayLink games with friends and family through use of smartphones and tablets.

Essentially, PlayLink transforms smartphones and tablets into a PlayStation 4 compatible controller, and the company is releasing PlayLink games exclusively for use with the software.

Speaking about the new feature in a blog post, Sony said:

‘PlayLink games turn your smartphone or tablet into a versatile controller - you can swipe, pinch, drag, tilt, rotate or even snap selfies and draw crafty doodles, depending on the game. No matter which title you choose from our PlayLink collection, it's guaranteed to be a slick pick-up-and-play experience.’
