The PlayStation 5 (just like the PlayStation 4) can’t be just used for gaming – it will come with a ton of additional apps.

Sony Interactive Entertainment announced on the PlayStation Blog that the next-gen PlayStation will arrive with the following apps, such as: „Apple TV – Enjoy Apple TV+, Apple TV channels, new and popular movies, and personalized, curated recommendations on the Apple TV app. That means users can enjoy Apple Originals like Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet, Ted Lasso, and The Morning Show through Apple TV+, subscribe to premium channels and buy or rent movies and TV shows and access past purchases from Apple. The Apple TV app will also be available on PlayStation 4. Disney+ – The dedicated home for movies, shows, shorts, and originals from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic. From original series like The Mandalorian, to fan favourites like The Simpsons, you can watch your favourite stories right from your PlayStation 5 console.

Netflix – Catch up on top entertainment hits such as Stranger Things, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and more. With thousands of TV episodes and movies in Netflix’s library, there’s plenty to choose from. Spotify – Listen while you play. Just as with PlayStation 4, users can play their favourite songs as background music in-game with Spotify. You can choose from more than 60 million songs while you’re battling bosses or roaming through an open-world adventure.

Twitch – With a deeply integrated Twitch experience on PlayStation 5, you can now watch or live-stream your favourite gameplay and chat live about the best moments with fellow gamers throughout the many diverse and dynamic communities. YouTube – Also integrated with PlayStation 5, you can broadcast and share your epic gameplay moments directly to your YouTube channel, or sit back and watch new and trending content shared from around the world,” the blog reads.

There are additional apps that will also be available from day one, such as Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime Video, MyCanal, Hulu, Peacock, and more. In Japan, DMM.com, U-NEXT, and more are also planned.

The PlayStation 5 Standard Edition (500 USD/EUR) and the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition (400 USD/EUR) will launch on November 12/19 (United States/Europe).
