Last week, Sony fans got a first look at the PlayStation 5’s User Interface. Part of that interface is an app dedicated to media, which will contain various apps with no need to download them separately from the PlayStation Store. This makes it easier for users to quickly switch from one app to the other, and even offers background use so fans can stream music via Spotify during their gaming sessions. A PlayStation 5 media remote will allow users to control their media with quick navigation and volume control, complete with launch buttons for Netflix, Spotify, YouTube, and Disney+.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the entertainment world in numerous ways, and perhaps it is affecting the development of these streaming apps as well. These companies are still focusing on current versions of their apps, since not everyone is going to immediately invest in a new console, and the current versions likely take precedent. In any case, the missing apps will arrive at some point, fans will just have to be patient.
The PlayStation 5 launches on November 12, 2020.
