The PlayStation 4 can be turned on remotely via the Playstation smartphone app to begin content downloads, Sony has confirmed.

　　Sony's president of Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida announced the news on Twitter recently.

　　@SyriasSerj 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

　　— Shuhei Yoshida (@yosp) August 27, 2013

　　The PS4 launches November 15 in North America, November 29 in Europe, and in 32 countries in all by the end of the year.

　　Sony also confirmed this week that the PS4 will support cross-platform party chat between the next-generation console and the PlayStation Vita.
