Sony adds over 100 free TV channels to PlayStation 5

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Sony is introducing over 100 free, ad-supported streaming TV channels to PlayStation 5 consoles in the US, accessible through the console's media tab. These channels, sourced from Sony Pictures Television and partners like Lionsgate, will feature a variety of content including movies, TV shows, anime, news, and sports. This move aims to keep users engaged within the PlayStation ecosystem and generate additional revenue from existing console owners, potentially drawing parallels to Microsoft's earlier strategy with the Xbox One as an entertainment hub.
