Apple Music has officially launched for the PlayStation 5, making it the first console to feature the music streaming service since Apple launched it.
As announced in an article on the PlayStation Blog, starting today PlayStation users with an Apple Music subscription will be able to stream music directly from their PlayStation 5.
Through the Apple Music app, players will be able to listen to music both in the PlayStation 5 menus and during gameplay. According to the blog post, in addition to being able to listen to their own playlists and over 90 million different songs, Apple Music subscribers will also be able to find recommendations for playlists that match the games they’re currently playing as well as a range of music videos that can be streamed in 4k.
The addition of Apple Music to the PlayStation 5 only helps to bolster the current roster of media apps on the console and strengthen its ability to act as an all-in-one home entertainment system. The music streaming service joins a host of third-party apps including the likes of Twitch, YouTube, Apple TV+ and Netflix.
