Just like other platforms in our roster of best streaming services , Sony
will keep Live TV on PS5 refreshed with new programming, titles, and channels to expose you to new content and keep you on your toes. Hopefully its library wont remain stagnant and outdated, but its not as if Sony doesnt know what
its doing its dipped its toes into the FAST channels waters before.

PlayStation Vue was a live TV service that allowed you to watch titles
without the need for a cable box, before Sony axed it in 2020 . Its safe to say that PlayStation Vue was a widely admired service, and countless PS
owners have been reminiscing about its nostalgia on Reddit following the announcement of Live TV on PS5 however, whether the new platform will be a welcomed addition is debatable.

Comment from r/gaming Sonys decision to kill off physical games and shift to digital ownership is still under intense scrutiny, not to mention the uproar that came when Sony deleted 500 movies users paid for following a licensing conflict. So theres still the burning question
regarding ownership: if everything is digital, do users really own it? Theres also the question of how different Sonys FAST streaming service is to
existing platforms.

In the Reddit discussion mentioned earlier, some users flagged that a lot of the FAST channels available on Live TV on PS5 are strikingly similar to the ones already available on services such as Tubi and Pluto TV, as one user
said it sounds like the same channels as [my] Roku TV. Similarly, another commenter wrote that Sonys streaming platform looks like a copy of Roku TV, where they only show reruns and older shows, or lesser known shows.

The common denominator with the best free streaming services are the providers, as another user highlights in the thread , so running into the
same types of programming across these platforms isnt out of the ordinary.
For users who use their PS5 consoles as their main media hub, its a solid
free upgrade and its there if you want to use it. At the same time, you can already download Tubi and Pluto TV on PS5, so the competition is tough.
