NEW YORK — Spotify’s music service is coming to PlayStation game consoles and replacing Sony’s own Music Unlimited.

Spotify hits the PlayStation 3 and 4 today (March 30) with a new app adapted for large television screens. Sony says partnering with Spotify brings a music service to more countries, as well as better tools for playlists and music discovery.

Spotify’s music app is available on some Internet-connected TVs and set-top boxes, but Spotify says it worked closely with Sony to optimise its service for the PlayStation. Among the notable features: the ability to listen to music while playing a game and still listening to sound effects.

The service is free with ads, or costs US$10 (S$13.74) a month for a premium ad-free version. AP
