Whoa, okay, so the PS Store on the PS5 got this facelift, right? And it’s like, hey, new ways to pay! Just when you thought Sony was gonna keep things all old school. You know how they pulled back on the PlayStation Visa card points? Yeah, that. But guess what? Now you can use Apple Pay and Cash App to snag your games. Cool twist, huh? Before, you could only do this on the PS App, but not anymore—now it’s right on your console.
So, this update, it’s all about giving gamers more choices, or at least that’s what it feels like. First off, shoutout to 9TO5Mac for spotting the Apple Pay thing. Then folks were like, oh hey, Cash App’s in the mix too. Now you’ve got more ways to throw your money around—Venmo, debit cards, the whole shebang.
Here’s the kicker: use Apple Pay, and boom! You get 2% cashback if you’ve got an Apple Card. Sweet, right? But hold on, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Like, you gotta scan a code with your iPhone or iPad, then decide which card to use, all while jiving with Face ID or Touch ID. Not exactly a breeze, if you ask me.
For those hoping to dive in with a quick click and be done—well, sorry, my friends, you might find yourself grumbling. But that cashback? Handy as gaming costs shoot up. I mean, who doesn’t hate spending more, right?
Oh, and FYI, this whole jazz isn’t on the PS4 yet. So if you’re still rocking that, you’re stuck with the old ways for now.
