As far as music streaming apps go, few if any can match the popularity of Apple Music, with the service now set to expand its reach further with the introduction of a brand new app that is designed to be used on the PlayStation 5 gaming console.
This PlayStation-compatible version of the venerable music streaming app makes it possible for gamers to go about listening to music on the PlayStation 5 console. Users can choose to use the service simply to listen to music or even to add a musical soundtrack to their gaming activities.
Considering the growing competition in the music streaming app space, any moves to make a service available on a new medium is a prudent one, with Apple Music well and truly setting its sights on the gamer market.
