GoPro Channel launches on PS4, PS3 today

The action-packed GoPro Channel is finally launching on PlayStation platforms later today via a new PlayStation Store app.

Sure, it’s essentially a marketing tool for GoPro devices, but the high quality footage is usually quite compelling. The app will allow users to search, filter and browse for content that is most interesting to them, from pro sports to just regular people who choose to share their adventures.
