Apple Pay Goes Gaming‑Ready for PS4 & PS5
So the next time you’re scouring the PlayStation Store for a new game, a handy option will appear at checkout: Apple Pay. Yes, you can charge your console through your iPhone or iPad with a quick tap of your fingerprint or face ID.
What Happens When You Buy
- After you add a game or add‑on to your cart, the checkout screen will show a bright, unmistakable Apple Pay button.
- Click it, and the console will flash a neat QR code on the TV.
- Grab your iPad or iPhone, open Wallet, and scan the code.
- Your device will prompt you to authenticate—fingerprint, Face ID, or passcode—so you’re done in seconds.
Why It’s a Game Changer
Convenience is the key word. No more fidgeting with a credit card on a long 5‑inch screen, and no need to open a web browser on your phone just to finish the purchase. It’s quick, secure, and fits right into the flow of a gaming session.
Tip!
If you’re in a hurry to start playing—like a half‑hour headset queue or a last‑minute tournament—Apple Pay lets you route your payment without sticking your fingers to a keypad or scrolling through a pile of payment options. All that remains is your biometrics to seal the deal.
Apple Pay Makes a Grand Entrance at the PlayStation Store
Hey gamers, strap in—Apple Pay has just hopped onto the PlayStation Store roster, joining forces with your trusty credit and debit cards, plus the ever‑popular PayPal. This upgrade means you whiz past that tedious swipe‑and‑scan routine and ditch the clunky card checks for a smoother, ultra‑secure checkout experience.
What Makes Apple Pay a Game‑Changer?
- Speedy payment flow: Forget fumbling for your card—Apple Pay pushes a quick tap or glance and you’re sworn in.
