PlayStation Network purchases made on a smartphone will be automatically downloaded by a sleeping PS4, which will go back into power-save mode once the process has finished.
The feature was announced by SCE Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida on Twitter.
“When you buy a PS4 game on smartphone, it will wake your PS4 up to start downloading the game. PS4 goes back to sleep after that,” the executive said.
Both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 have allowed remote purchase of network content via webportals, accessible by mobile browser, but neither have allowed for immediate download and return to a hibernating state. There is no word on whether or not the Xbox One will have the feature or not.
