For some time the consoles are no longer a mere tool game, but they are also a central element of the living room to enjoy streaming services and surf online . The new solutions from Sony and Microsoft coming in the coming weeks will be no exception and Sony has remembered it with a blog post: the new Playstation 5 will support, from launch, several of the most popular entertainment apps.

Specifically there are six apps that will be available on PS5 from 12 November (in Italy the console will be available from 19 November): Apple TV +, Disney +, Netflix, Spotify, Twitch and YouTube . More streaming apps like Amazon Prime Video will arrive in the future, but a more specific indication has not been given.

You can then listen to your favorite songs from Spotify as background music during game sessions, or watch broadcasts and interact with chat on Twitch, as well as stream matches of course. Even in the case of YouTube you can broadcast the gameplay or enjoy your favorite videos comfortably seated in the living room.

Sony also confirmed the presence of keys dedicated to Disney +, Netflix, Spotify and YouTube on the remote control (to be purchased separately) of PS5 . The indiscretion had already leaked, but now we also have an unequivocal image. In recent weeks, the Japanese company has shown the PS5 user interface, with a dedicated space – to the right of the Game screen – to the world of entertainment and new commands for a better experience.
