Apple Music app now available for PS5

Sony has announced in a blog post that the Apple Music app is now available for PS5. This is the first gaming console to support Apple Music, and will bring tens of thousands of curated playlists, music videos in 4K, Apple Music Radio streaming today’s hits, classics, and country live, and personalised playlists based on a user’s music preferences.

The PS5 offers seamless integration with the Apple Music streaming service with background music and music video playback, so players can listen before, during, or after their gameplay session.

PS5 users can either start the Apple Music app before hopping into a game, or during gameplay by pressing the PS button on the DualSense wireless controller to access the Control Center and select the Music Function card.

From there, Apple Music subscribers can find recommendations that match the game they are currently playing, or choose from a playlist in their library or other Apple Music-curated playlists for gaming.

Sony and Apple have not yet confirmed whether Apple Music on the PS5 supports lossless audio or Dolby Audio.

The PS5 is the first gaming console to support Apple Music, as the music service is currently not available on Xbox consoles, or indeed the PS4.
