PS5’s PlayStation Store Update Introduces Highly Anticipated Feature

Alright, so imagine you’re on your PS5, chilling, snacks ready, and bam! There’s this new update on the PS Store. And no, it’s not just some minor bug fix thing. Sony, in a surprising twist after turning the PlayStation Visa card points to dust, has rolled out new ways to pay. Hello, Apple Pay and Cash App. It’s like, “Hey, more options, why not?” Right?

Ok, so, there’s this big headline grabber — Apple Pay. The people over at 9TO5Mac spotted it first. I mean, they’re always on top of these things. Then the community buzzed about Cash App sneaking in next to our old pals, Venmo and the usual cards. But let’s talk about the Apple Pay sweetness (or frustration? You decide). Apple Card users get this juicy 2% cashback. It’s like a money boomerang — spend it, and a bit comes back.

But, oh, there’s a catch. Just when you think it’s gonna be a breeze, there’s this whole dance of scanning a code with your iPhone or iPad. Seriously, who thought that was a user-friendly idea? Like, just as you’re about to nab that game, you’re fiddling with your phone, Face ID, Touch ID, the whole shebang. Not your quick-buy dream scenario. More like dancing for your cashback. Yet, with game prices spiking higher than my excitement when my download completes, it sort of pays off. I guess?

And, oh, for those still rocking a PS4 — sorry, this update is playing the exclusivity card for now. So, yeah, maybe it’s time you consider going next-gen? Or not. I dunno. Do what feels right.
