Sony’s TV streaming service is launching today on Android TV.
PlayStation Vue launches on Android TV
is The Verge’s executive editor. He has covered tech, policy, and online creators for over a decade.
With today’s launch, PlayStation Vue will be available on all recent Android TV devices, including dedicated streaming boxes and TVs that have it built in. It’s a particularly notable addition for Sony, because several of its own high-end TVs are running Android.
Web support is coming “soon”
The service is a cable TV replacement, giving subscribers access to anywhere from 55 to over 100 channels. Pricing ranges from $29.99 to $74.99 per month. Altogether, it’s a pretty solid offering, although live streaming of major networks — ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox — isn’t available in every location, which could easily make it a nonstarter for a lot of people.
PlayStation Vue launched nationwide in March and is now available on iOS, Android, Roku, Fire TV, Chromecast, and the PlayStation 3 and 4. Web support is supposed to launch in the near future.
