As was the case with Disney+ up until very recently, Spotify’s app on PS5 was actually running in PS4 backwards compatibility. While this had no material impact on the music service’s features and functionality – unlike with Disney’s aforementioned streaming service, which lacked native 4K streaming on Sony’s new-gen system until earlier this month – it’s something that was always likely to be rectified eventually. And now it has!
If you try to open Spotify on your PS5, you’ll be told the software is no longer compatible, and that you need to upgrade. This will download a native version of the app, which seems identical to the previous version as far as we can tell. We’re sure there are some under-the-hood improvements that make this edition better, but it’s an enforced upgrade either way, so you may as well set aside the time to update it.
The download’s only about 40MB if you’re updating, so it shouldn’t take you more than a few seconds, depending on your Internet speed. Have you noticed any changes with the new version of Spotify? Let us know in the comments section below.

I suggest listening to the best skate punk album released in a long long time.... Cigar - The Visitor
Check out Fred Again… been on repeat!
finally . i hope the glitches on ps5 are gone now . the current track and volume would get stuck & i had to close the app several times because the glitch basically always happened
@nomither6 I had no idea that happened to people. Never had an issue with it. I use it every day.
@Deathnote93 well not stuck in a sense that the music would stutter or anything like that , i meant that the playlist was buggy and wouldn’t update to the current song & volume wouldn’t let me adjust
@Deathnote93 @nomither6 happened to me also. just a minor annoyance if a song came on you didnt know
@mrtennis1990 😍 Jungle and Danielle have been on my repeats for last few weeks
Finally it can make use of the SSD, just hope Spotify also incorporates VRR and 120fps as options too 😂
I recently learned I could actually play my own music in the background on PS5 while I play multiplayer games like Fortnite, like I do on my PC when I play Valorant. I guess I just never knew that was a thing you could do on console...m🤷 So I have a reason to download this now!
Oh boy! I hope it lets me enter my credentials again! I can’t wait to go to the Spotify website and click that sweet “forgot my password” link once again!
@VatoLoco47 good minds think alike!
so now I can listen to music on 4k 60 fps?
@Arisen and don’t forget the adaptive trigger support! It’s like you can feel the grooves on the vinyl lol
