      To quickly access the best PS5 games, purchasing them directly from the PSN is the optimal choice. This digital platform offers a wide range of options, from multiplayer titles to indie games. However, if you're not simply downloading a free PS5 game, you'll need to pay for your selection. Previously, Apple Pay could only be utilized for purchases made on the website or via the app, but it is now available for use directly on your console. Here’s how to do it.

      How to purchase PS5 games using Apple Pay: To buy any new game or add-on on your PlayStation 5 with Apple Pay, you just need a PS5 and Apple Pay. Note that Apple Pay is exclusively available on the PS5, not the PS4, so you won’t be able to use this payment option if you're still using the previous generation console.

      Step 1: Locate the content you want to buy on the PSN.

      Step 2: Add it to your cart.

      Step 3: Proceed to the checkout screen and select Apple Pay from the payment method options.

      Step 4: Click on Confirm Purchase.

      Step 5: Your PS5 will generate a QR code that you need to scan with your iOS device.

      Step 6: After scanning the code, you can finish the transaction on your iOS device. Using Apple Pay on the PS5 is a convenient way to pay for new content, especially if you prefer not to save your credit card details on your console for security purposes.
