In addition others like Amazon Prime Video are in development and will release soon. The best news though is that the apps will not take up space on your bar and instead will live inside the Media space.

Within the Media space, you’ll no longer need to download entertainment apps through PS Store — it’s all in the Media space. Creating dedicated Game and Media spaces for the PS5 user experience will make it fast and easy to switch between gaming and entertainment content whenever you want. The PS5 console also features a new Control Center that makes controlling your music easier than ever before, so you can quickly switch between channels, skip, and pause your music. - Phil Rosenberg

While I tend not to use my consoles for media watching, Spotify music playback whilst gaming does happen a lot, so this is a nice addition for me. But what do you think, are these some worthy inclusions to the PlayStation 5 launch line up?
