While there be launch games for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, the lineup remains to be fairly paltry. That being stated, launch games, backward compatibility, and entertainment apps work together to make it possible for new console owners to have one thing to enjoy, and that includes apps like Apple TV being accessible on launch day on the PS5.
Sony’s Head of Global Partner Development and Relations Phil Rosenberg took to the official PlayStation Blog to discuss which entertainment apps could be out there on launch day. In addition to the below apps, he additionally confirmed that Amazon Prime Video, MyCanal, Peacock, Hulu, and others could be joining the lineup at a different date:
