Sony Debuts Ad-Supported Live TV on PS5 with Over 100 Channels

Sony’s ad-supported service includes news, TV, movies, sports and anime.

Sony has introduced free Live TV on the PS5, offering over 100 live channels. This ad-supported service, debuting today, includes content from Sony Pictures Television, NBC, Fox News, sports, movies, TV shows, anime, gaming, esports, documentaries, podcasts, and more. Accessible through the Media tab on the PS5's home page, the service will also expand to Bravia TVs later in the year.

Sony claims additional content will be added over time, with plans to expand into other regions, starting with Canada. Following the success of Roku Channel, Fox's Tubi, and Sling Freestream, Sony has been tardy in launching a FAST service, having shut down its subscription-based PlayStation Vue in 2019.
