PlayStation 5 Will Apparently Support Plex at Launch | Game Rant

Next-gen gaming is understandably the main selling point of the PlayStation 5, but that’s not all the new console will have to offer when it launches next month. Sony has confirmed that the PS5 will support multiple streaming apps at launch, and now one can add Plex to that list.

While the likes of Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video have been dominating the busy streaming market, Plex has managed to carve a niche for itself by offering more than just streaming. In addition to a wide selection of movies, TV shows, web shows, and live channels, the service doubles as a media hub, allowing users to organize their personal photos, music, and movies and access them from multiple devices.

Plex has already been released for the PS3 and PS4, and it will be available on the PS5 at launch, according to a conversation between a Reddit user and a company representative. This comes after Sony confirmed earlier this week that Netflix, Spotify, Twitch, YouTube, Disney+, and Apple TV+ will be available to stream on the console from day one, with others like Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, MyCanal, and Peacock to follow.

The streaming landscape has shifted a lot in the past year, with the arrival of major players like Disney+ and HBO Max, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic causing many new movies to skip their theatrical runs entirely in favor of online premieres. Given how prevalent streaming has become, and given Sony’s high sales expectations for the PS5, it’s likely that the console’s selection of apps will serve to make it all the more desirable to consumers who are interested in more than just next-gen games.

The PlayStation 5 will launch on November 12 in the US, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea, and on November 19 everywhere else.
