Sony has today announced My PlayStation, a new service that essentially lets you access various PlayStation Network features away from your console. The Japanese PlayStation Blog states that you'll now be able to search for players, manage your Friends list, and send/receive messages via the new site, which you'll be able to browse from your home computer or favourite device.
We've had a quick play around with My PlayStation, and it does more or less what you'd expect. Once you've signed in, you can view and edit your profile, check out your Friends list, view your Trophies, and manage your messages and notifications. It's a pretty smart site that could come in handy if you're away from your console and need to check on your messages, for example.
Click here to go to the My PlayStation site. Have a play around with it, then come back here and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
Update: The European PlayStation Blog has just updated with a post regarding My PlayStation. For the official word on the new website, click here.

It's ok I guess.
Works well enough I suppose, quite handy if you want quick access to the network and you aren't at home.
Hope its better than MyNintendo, but to be honest 404 errors are better.
Pretty cool. Makes sense to offer something like this. Hopefully this will make it easier for me to deal with my pending friend requests.
Honestly I thought you could already do all this.
@Shepherd_Tallon Best response ever. I work with software, can I use this to send to people who raise browser support issues?
You can probably change your PSN name on that site... proooooobably. 🤔
@Shepherd_Tallon Ha ha - will do. I am expecting all the new contracts to start rolling in anytime nooooooow.
European Blog just updated with it too if your interested https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2018/02/21/introducing-my-playstation-a-new-way-to-interact-with-key-psn-features-from-your-pc-or-mobile/
I already have an app to check my messages but I would be willing to switch if it uses less battery/memory.
@Shepherd_Tallon
The one browser? You mean you never tried Netscape?
I though I can see my most played game, the first trophy that I got on this year, etc, like in the email that sony send every year, I hope sony update the website with that feature.
Can't all this be done already with the currently available apps?
Yeah, I don't need this. It's a stupid, generic name. Just figure out how to get the messages app onto the PS app.
Pointless if you already have the ps apps, but decent for those few that will rely on desktops etc.
@Shepherd_Tallon "Back in my day we only had the one browser, IE."
You can't be that old. Before IE, there was Netscape.
Anyway, this new site still suffers from the problem of the old EU site, whereby there is no truly public profile/trophy page. You HAVE to be signed in to PSN to view anything.
The US site used to have a public Trophy page. The EU site never did. And now this new arrangement doesn't either. What the hell is Sony's issue with providing a proper, fully public profile/trophy viewing page?
Finally able to change my profile picture. Happy here.
Hopefully this is a small step towards getting custom icons everyone can see, and the ability to change usernames.
This very much seem like the first step to the PSN ID change feature. Now they only have to put up an Edit button next to the PSN ID.
@CD456 i was thinking that exactly. The playstation app lets you manage messages and friend requests etc already....
@Kidfried That's a great slogan to advertise it! ''Maybe you can change your PSN name on it.. maybe!''
