Apple Pay Now Available for Game Purchases on PS5 Consoles

PlayStation 5 users can now utilize Apple Pay to purchase games directly from their consoles. Previously, Apple Pay was only accessible through browsers or the PlayStation mobile app. This new integration allows Apple Pay to join other on-console payment options like credit/debit cards and PayPal.

The feature employs a QR code method introduced with iOS 18. When selecting Apple Pay at checkout, a QR code appears on the TV screen. Users can scan this code with their iPhone, which then opens a checkout screen for transaction confirmation.
