Sony PlayStation 5 is expected to be released in India next month. This time around the next-gen console from Sony will also have a media remote which can be separately bought for Rs 2,590. The media remote can be used to run streaming apps so that users don’t have to switch between the TV remote every time they want to do something apart from gaming. The upcoming PlayStation 5 will be able to run to streaming apps like Apple TV+, Disney+ Hotstar and music streaming apps like Spotify.
- I also have a sony tv with bravia and was disappointed to discover there was no spotify app. However, I realised I have a sony sound bar which has bluetooth! So I can stream from spotify on my S4 and Nexus 7, etc, and get great audio. As a bonus I don't need to turn the tv.
- Enhance your Smart Home Life with Sony's smart TV features, including built-in Google Assistant, hands-free control & all of your favorite entertainment apps.
- For steps on how to play Spotify on your TV, check out Spotify on TV. To see if your TV supports the Spotify app, go to the app store on your TV and search for Spotify. If your TV isn't listed, you can upgrade it with a soundbar or streamer that supports Spotify Connect. For more info on the types of devices Spotify is available on, check out.

It is also an alternative for those who used media streaming sticks to watch content on TV.
