PS5 users can now directly use Apple Pay for purchases within the PlayStation Store. Upon buying a game on your PS5 via Apple Pay, you will see a QR code displayed; simply scan this using your iPhone or iPad to finalize the payment process remotely.
Earlier, PS5 users needed to use either the console’s built-in browser or the PlayStation App on iOS to purchase games using Apple Pay. This recent update serves as a minor enhancement for PS5 owners because many already link a credit card to their PlayStation account. Nonetheless, those who own an Apple Card will find it simpler to benefit from the 2 percent cash back offered on Apple Pay transactions when they buy PS5 games.
In addition to utilizing a standard card-on-file system, Apple Pay has emerged as another alternative payment option alongside PayPal. The capability for Apple Pay on the PS5 became available thanks to this integration.
