So, guess what, folks? The PS Store on the PS5 got a nice little facelift. Not like a total overhaul, but still, something worth chatting about. Ever since Sony decided to mess with the PlayStation Visa card points — thanks, guys — we now have some fresh ways to pay. Enter Apple Pay and Cash App. I gotta say, the cashback with Apple Pay is a neat bonus. Before, these were hiding out in the PS App, but now they’re front and center on the console.
Okay, so this update gives us more say in how we part with our hard-earned cash. Heard it first from those tech gurus over at 9TO5Mac. They caught Apple Pay making its debut, and boom, there’s Cash App too, strutting alongside Venmo and the usual plastic suspects.
You know what rocks? If you wield the mighty Apple Card, you get 2% back. Who doesn’t love a little reward for spending? But hold up—I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. You gotta jump through some hoops. It’s not the quick swipe and go. You’ll need to grab your iPhone or iPad, scan a code, then pick a card, and do the Face ID or Touch ID dance. Sounds thrilling, right? Not exactly a one-and-done deal.
Sure, it’s not perfect. But with game prices climbing like crazy, that cashback starts looking sweeter. Oh, and if you’re still rocking a PS4, sorry, you’re fresh outta luck on this one. No update for you just yet. So yeah, there’s that.
