Some entertainment apps will also come with integrated experiences. For example, users will be able to play their favourite songs as background music whilst gaming, or stream their epic gameplays on YouTube.

These apps will come with a dedicated media entertainment space next to the Game home screen on the PS5 which will allow for quick switches between the Game and Media space to make it easier to control the various entertainment apps.

The dedicated remote control that it comes with will allow users to quickly navigate between channels, adjust the volume and power settings of compatible TVs. It will also have dedicated buttons for services like Disney+ and Netflix.
