Apple Music is launching on Sony’s PS5

Sony has announced that Apple Music is launching on the PS5. It’s the first gaming console to introduce an integrated Apple Music experience.

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’re currently playing, or choose from a playlist in their library or other Apple Music-curated playlists for gaming.

Apple Music subscribers can also find and watch music videos from a wide selection of artists in the Apple Music app. Start by playing the video in full screen; if you decide you want to go back to your gameplay or navigate elsewhere on the PS5’s home screen, the audio from the music video will continue to play. If you want to go back to the music video, it’ll also pick up seamlessly from wherever you are in the song, with no interruption to the music.
