Apple Music has been released on PlayStation 5, but there is no mention of a PlayStation 4 release. When Apple TV was brought to the PlayStation 5 console last year, it was explicitly mentioned that Apple TV would be coming to both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. This time, we didn't see such an announcement, so most likely, Apple Music is exclusive to PlayStation 5 for now. So many PS4 owners are wondering whether there are some other ways to listen to Apple Music on PS4.
The PS4 is a fantastic games console with one of the best game libraries ever assembled. It supports all of the best video streaming apps, and it provides a premium gaming experience. So it has been a resounding success since its launch back in 2013, becoming one of the best-selling consoles of all time.
