PS5’s PlayStation Store Receives Update with Highly Anticipated Feature

Sure, let’s dive into this. So, you know how life just throws things at you sometimes? Well, Sony did a thing with the PS5 that has people kind of buzzing. They updated the PS Store. Finally, right? And man, this one’s got a twist—new ways to pay for stuff. Because apparently, we needed more ways to throw money at games… or maybe that’s just me.

Anyway, weirdly enough, right after they messed with the PlayStation Visa points (seriously, what was that?), they tossed in Apple Pay and Cash App as options. Yeah, Apple Pay. It even comes with a cashback thing if you’re an Apple Card junkie. Before this, you had to stick to the PS App on your phone to use these, which, I guess, was just too boring or something. Now, your PS5 can do it too. Cool, I think.

So, some tech folks over at 9TO5Mac caught this Apple Pay thing first. Maybe they’ve got spies or something. People already using stuff like Venmo and cards can now dabble with Apple Pay and Cash App. Kinda neat, right? But here’s the kicker — it’s not that simple. Apple Pay makes you jump through a couple of hoops. You gotta scan a code with your fancy iPhone or whatever you’ve got. Then, pick your card and mess with Face ID. It’s not exactly a lazy person’s dream.

Honestly, if you thought you’d just tap your controller and boom, it’s done—sorry, friend. Not happening. But hey, 2% cashback is nothing to sneeze at. Especially since buying games feels like selling an organ these days.

Oh, and if you’re rocking a PS4, sorry to say, but this update isn’t for you yet. Bummer, huh? Keep hanging in there!

And that’s the scoop. Or my version of it.
