Spotify Arrives On PS4 This Spring Offering Custom Background Soundtracks
Sony has announced a new service called PlayStation Music powered by Spotify. You’ll be able to link your PSN account to Spotify and sign-up and access the music group’s premium service.
In addition to streaming music, the new service will allow users to have custom background tunes in games on PlayStation 4. The program is slated to launch this spring on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xperia phones, and tablets.
PlayStation Music will replace Music Unlimited, which is closing on March 29 in the 19 countries in which it exists. Most of those territories will be part of the 41 in which PlayStation Music will launch.
Music Unlimited members that have active subscriptions as of February 28 will receive free access to that service through March 29. More information on PlayStation Music will arrive closer to launch.
Our Take
This is a big get for Sony, especially for the background, custom soundtracks. I used to love using that feature on other consoles, and this might also get me to spring for a Spotify premium membership.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
