Apple Music is now available to users on PlayStation 5 consoles. Sony announced that the PS5 player can now play music through Apple’s streaming service, similar to the service that Spotify already provides on PlayStation and Xbox. Players can listen to music while playing games, or they can play their favorite music directly through the app.

Sony mentioned that Apple Music subscribers can also search and watch music videos directly on the console. There is no information on when Apple’s music streaming service will be available for Xbox consoles. Sony announced the integration of Apple Music into the PlayStation 5 console through a blog post. The Japanese technology giant mentioned that from October 27th, PS5 players can use Apple’s music streaming service.

Players can play more than 90 million songs, thousands of playlists, 4K music videos and Apple Music Radio PS5 applications through Apple Music. Players can also listen to music in the background, or play music videos in the background.
