PS5: A Novelty Awaited for Years Officially Announced

PlayStation 5 & PS5 Pro Owners Gain Access to New Anime Streaming Services from Sony

PlayStation 5 and upcoming PS5 Pro owners, alongside anime fans, can look forward to new streaming applications. Responding to years of anticipation and significant fan demand, Sony is enhancing its console offerings with official anime services.

PlayStation 5 & PS5 Pro Expand Entertainment Offerings with ADN and Crunchyroll Anime Streaming Launches

While the PlayStation 5 is primarily known for gaming, it also serves as a central hub for entertainment applications like streaming services and music. Sony has provided major platforms such as Netflix, Prime Video, Twitch, and Spotify on the console for years, each optimized for the PS5 experience. However, anime enthusiasts have long awaited dedicated streaming services. That wait is now over. Anime fans will see two major services, the French streaming service ADN and Crunchyroll, launch on both the PlayStation 5 and the forthcoming PS5 Pro, beginning October 16th. ADN offers a vast catalog of anime titles, including popular series like Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Detective Conan, alongside a wide selection of less mainstream content. ADN provides some episodes for free, while a subscription is required to access the full library, priced at €6.99 monthly or €59.99 annually. The service frequently adds new shows just days after their initial release in Japan, providing options for both French audio and dubbed versions. Also launching on October 16th is the official Crunchyroll app for PS5 and PS5 Pro, addressing another highly anticipated demand from the anime community. This expansion significantly enhances the PS5’s entertainment offerings for fans worldwide.
