Sony has confirmed that PlayStation 4 augmented-reality game The PlayRoom will come pre-loaded on the console.

The PlayRoom was shown off at E3 and uses the PlayStation Camera and DualShock 4 controller to let you interact with an army of on-screen AR bots.

You can draw objects on your smartphone, tablet or PlayStation Vita for the critters to interact with, or play some of the other included mini-games, such as air hockey.

Watch the clip below to see the app in action. It's worth noting that the PlayStation 4 does not come bundled with the PlayStation Camera.
