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.
Read on for the announcement.
GoPro, Inc. announced The GoPro Channel will be available starting today on the PlayStation 4 (PS4) and PlayStation 3 (PS3) systems.

“We want GoPro content and programming to be easily accessible on every platform where our millions of fans spend time,” said Jon Cohen, GoPro’s director, distribution. “There’s a sweet-spot of overlap between PlayStation’s super-engaged audience and the GoPro audience and we’re excited to welcome PlayStation to GoPro’s expanding OTT family.”
