Sony adds Apple Pay support to PS5: How to use it & more details

New simple payment process

Sony has recently introduced Apple Pay as a payment option for the PlayStation 5 (PS5), making it easier for players to purchase games, DLCs, in-game purchases and more.

This was previously available on PlayStation App and browser, but now it is finally available on console as well. Let’s check out more details in this article.

Apple Pay now on PS5: What’s new?

Apple Pay joins existing payment methods such as credit/debit cards, PayPal, Cash App, and Venmo to provide a secure, contactless way to shop at the PlayStation Store.

Players can now use Apple Pay at the checkout, scan a QR code using an iPhone or iPad running iOS 18 or iPadOS 18 (or later), and finish transactions with their Apple Wallet.

This shortened method improves ease, particularly for the 700 million global Apple Pay users estimated by Statista in 2024.

However, availability is restricted to certain locations; see Sony’s official support website for a complete list.
