Nintendo isn't the only gaming outfit [playing around](http://www.engadget.com/tag/WiiU/) with a second screen -- Sony has plans of its own. The aptly named PlayStation app promises to expand gameplay to a player's iOS or Android device, propagating in-game maps, social networking tools or simply an easier way to access the PlayStation store. The application's functionality sounds an awful lot like the [Wii U GamePad](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/14/nintendo-wii-u-gamepad-vs-tablets-game-controllers-fight/), though Sony hasn't mentioned if off-screen play via tablet will be a possibility. Even if that function doesn't come to your smartphone or tablet, it's definitely available on PlayStation Vita, which fills out the rest of the company's second screen plans with its [remote play](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/20/playstation-4-supports-remote-play-on-playstation-vita/) feature. Looking for official details? Skip past the break for the relevant excerpt from Sony's official [PS4](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/20/sony-details-playstation-4-specs-8-core-amd-jaguar-cpu-8x-bl/) press release.
