In an exciting development for PS5 enthusiasts, users can now seamlessly purchase games directly from the PlayStation Store using Apple Pay. This innovative feature enables PS5 users to complete their transactions effortlessly by scanning a QR code displayed on their console with their iPhone or iPad. This integration simplifies the buying process, allowing for a more streamlined gaming experience.
Before this enhancement, PS5 owners had to rely on either the console’s web browser or the PlayStation App on iOS to make purchases using Apple Pay. This latest update serves as a significant quality of life improvement for users, particularly those who already have their credit card information linked to their PlayStation account. Additionally, Apple Card users can now enjoy the benefits of earning 2% cash back on their Apple Pay purchases when buying games for their PS5.
In addition to using a standard credit card, Apple Pay now stands alongside PayPal as a viable alternative payment option. The compatibility of Apple Pay with the PS5 was facilitated through a recent update that allows users to make transactions on third-party browsers like Chrome and Firefox using a unique QR code. This pivotal change not only enhances the current purchasing capabilities but also sets the stage for potential future Apple Pay support across other browsers and devices, including the PS4, as hinted by 9to5Mac.
