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.
