The app is available to download now from the Media tab on PlayStation 5 alongside other apps such as Apple TV, Disney+, Netflix, and YouTube.

- "From today, PS5 owners can add the BBC iPlayer app by going to the Media tab on the PS5 home screen and selecting BBC iPlayer from the All Apps section. This will add BBC iPlayer to the apps library and make it available to use direct from the PlayStation home screen," said Neil Hall, Head of Product, BBC iPlayer.



The app supports "spectacular Ultra HD, assuming their TV is UHD-capable", the public service broadcaster added.
