Sony PlayStation 5 – we know the applications that will be available on the console
Source: Pure PC added 22nd Oct 2020In less than a month, the Sony PlayStation 5 console will debut in Poland, for which a lot of people are waiting despite the controversy that has arisen in recent weeks around the equipment (mainly regarding noticeably higher prices of games than Sony). Recently, the Japanese manufacturer has been much more active in revealing more information about the equipment. We learned what the inside of the console looks like and how the individual structural elements were arranged. We know the appearance of the hardware interface, and now the manufacturer has revealed details about the multimedia part of the device. After all, PlayStation 5 has not only an Ultra HD Blu-ray drive that allows you to watch 4K movies from UHD Blu-ray media, but also a more extensive set of applications, both film and music.
Sony has confirmed support for the following apps on PlayStation 5: Netflix, Disney +, Apple TV, Spotify, Twitch and YouTube.
In the case of the upcoming PlayStation 5, Sony tried to prepare a device that would be not only great for games, but also more importantly focused on multimedia support. On board the console there will be several premiere applications for both VOD and listening to music. First of all, the final appearance of the remote control, which will be one of the optional accessories, which will allow for much more convenient operation of all multimedia applications, was confirmed. We will get the premiere, among others Netflix, Apple TV and Disney + when it comes to VOD services. Personally, I am very pleased with the confirmation of Apple TV, which has so far appeared on a relatively narrow group of Smart TVs. Thanks to the presence of the application on the console, to which many more people will have access, more people will be able to take advantage of the extensive movie library and the additional service of Apple TV +.
On the remote control we find buttons with shortcuts to the Netflix and Disney + applications (currently still unavailable in Poland, we hope that in Q1 2021 the service will finally come to us), Spotify and YouTube. Twitch will also be available for premiere. In individual markets, we can also expect local applications that were not listed in the press release. In Poland, we count, among others for the presence of a Player, which is also available on PlayStation 4. We remind you that PlayStation 5 for
