BURBANK, Calif., Oct. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Performance Designed
Products (PDP), the #1 third party accessory manufacturer in
North America, is proud to
announce the release of the Universal Media Remote for the
PlayStation®4 (PS4™) system in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The new remote gives users control of
PS4 media apps, movies, music and other content via Bluetooth. The
Universal Media Remote for PS4 is officially licensed by Sony
Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA), and will be available in
late October for $29.99 (MSRP).
"Working closely with SCEA helped ensure users have a seamless
experience operating PS4 with the remote, right out of the box,"
said Chris Richards, CEO of PDP.
"The remote makes it even easier to watch video content on PS4,
from your favorite Blu-ray movies to shows on Netflix."
The Universal Media Remote can power PS4 on and off, and
controls up to three additional devices including a TV, cable box,
and audio receiver. The remote features many of the same buttons as
the DUALSHOCK®4 wireless controller, including the PS button, SHARE
button, OPTIONS button, and Action buttons (triangle, circle, cross
and square), making it easy to navigate system menus and apps on
PS4. At launch, the Universal Media Remote will be fully compatible
with the following apps and services on the PS4 system (with more
to come later):
