YouTube Music on PS5 – Enjoy Music While Gaming

This write-up will learn the process to get YouTube Music on a PS5 gaming console.

Steps to Use YouTube Music on PS5

Using YouTube Music on your PS5 is a great way to enjoy your favorite playlists, albums, and tracks while gaming or relaxing. While PS5 doesn’t have a dedicated YouTube Music app yet, there are a few simple ways to access it and integrate it seamlessly into your gaming experience.

Accessing YouTube Music via Browser (Web Browser)

  • Turn on your PS5 and go to the Media tab.
  • Open the Internet Browser (available in the PS5 menu).
  • In the address bar, type music.youtube.com and hit enter.
  • Log in with your Google account to access your playlists and subscriptions.
  • You can now browse, search, and play music directly through the web browser.

While this method allows access to YouTube Music, keep in mind it’s a basic web version and doesn’t have the full integration of a native app.

Using YouTube App for Music Streaming

  • Download and install the YouTube app from the PS5 PlayStation Store if you haven’t already.
  • Launch the app and sign in with your Google account.
  • You can navigate to YouTube Music via the main YouTube interface. While not as seamless as the YouTube Music app, it still allows you to play music videos, albums, and playlists from the YouTube Music library.

Background Music While Gaming

Once you’ve set up YouTube Music via either the browser or the YouTube app, you can use it to play music in the background while you game. This is one of the best features of using music on PS5.

  • Open YouTube Music through the browser or the YouTube app.
  • Start playing your desired music.
  • Press the PS button to minimize the app and return to your game.

Music will continue to play in the background, letting you enjoy your favorite tunes while gaming. You can adjust the volume and playback using the PS5 media controls or the Quick Menu for an uninterrupted experience.
