As digital gaming market share continues to expand (especially on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms), Sony Interactive Entertainment announced that it will add Apple Pay payment options to the PS5 store.This update allows players to purchase digital versions of the game through the Apple ecosystem's fast payment system just like using credit cards, PayPal or gift cards.

Now, PS5 users can directly select Apple Pay in the console store interface to complete the transaction.This payment method is similar to PayPal's operating mechanism - one-click payment is achieved by binding a credit/debit card, and at the same time, it uses Apple's biometric technology (Face ID/Touch ID) to improve transaction security.Previously, Apple Pay could only be used in PS5 web store and mobile applications.

The specific operation process is extremely simple: select the Apple Pay payment option at checkout, and the screen will generate an exclusive QR code.Users can scan the QR code using iPhone or iPad to complete payment through face/fingerprint verification.According to official disclosure, PlayStation 4 will also obtain this function through subsequent system updates (requires the use of iOS 18 and above devices), but the specific launch time has not been announced yet.

This integration marks the further integration of hosting platforms and mobile payment ecosystems.Considering that Apple's user base has a high overlap with host players, the new payment method is expected to significantly increase the purchase conversion rate of PSN stores.As the proportion of digital games exceeds 70%, convenient and secure payment options will become the user experience link that the platform parties focus on optimizing.
