After almost two years since the launch of PlayStation 4, the Twitch PS4 app is finally available on the PlayStation Store, sized at about 51 megabytes.
This was announced last month at TwitchCon.

It looks like it's basically identical to the Twitch app already available on Xbox One, which is a great thing since that worked really well. Up until now, though, PlayStation 4 users were stuck to using the Twitch website via the integrated browser; now, they can enjoy full chat integration with emoticons, though of course the big news is that they're not limited anymore to PlayStation streams.
Dedicated Twitch apps are also expected to become available for PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation TV later this Fall. Let us know your first impression of the Twitch PS4 app if you decide to download it.
