PlayStation 4 companion app update highlights live game broadcasts

The latest update for Sony's PlayStation mobile app is
out for Android and iOS, and it's surprisingly video-
focused. Thanks to the new Live from PlayStation
section, available game streams can be browsed directly
from your device -- although they won't open in the app
itself. Ustream feeds open in the service's own
application (at least on Android), while Twitch.tv
streams are relegated to your mobile device's browser.
The change log also notes that video notifications from
the PS Store are supported, and you'll find them under
the What's New section on the home screen.
Additionally, the update promises to not pull your PS4
out of sleep mode when you open the app to, say,
accept a friend request or queue a game download --
perfect if you're looking to conserve a little electricity.
