Popular music streaming service Spotify has just launched its first-ever games console app - and it's exclusive to Sony's PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 for the time being.

"PlayStation have gaming exclusivity," Murray Pannell, UK marketing director for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, confirmed to Eurogamer at a preview of the app last week. And how long does the exclusivity period last? "That's to be decided exactly," he confessed, "but certainly for the foreseeable."

The Spotify app is available now - from 10am, Monday 30th March - in 41 markets worldwide, including the UK. It's free and most PS4 users will find it's on their consoles already, replacing Music Unlimited in the menu. It was a hidden background download in last week's system update.

As expected most games just play the music over the game's OST, but there were a few games I didn't know about that fully (=automatic muting) support custom music / Spotify.

full list so far:

Has just launched, is it out?

BocoDragon · Mar 30, 2015

Probably some deal there. You don't kill Music Unlimited for a mere app on everyone's platform.

rezuth · Mar 30, 2015

Sweet, finally my own music in GTA

PapaJustify · Mar 30, 2015

Halle-fucking-lujah! Hardmetal soundtrack in Bloodborne.

Jimmyfenix · Mar 30, 2015

Apparently it is out and replaced music unlimited in the 2.50 update

HORRORSHØW · Mar 30, 2015

awesome

anderedna · Mar 30, 2015

Nice, saw my country in the list. Might test them tonight.

RedAssedApe · Mar 30, 2015

Well music unlimited is rebranded as of 3/29 right? So everyone expects spotiify to launch soon.

Andrefpvs · Mar 30, 2015

Eurogamer claims it was released 9 minutes ago, and PS4 has already stealth-downloaded it.

Brudinho · Mar 30, 2015

Sucks because I want to use it on both consoles.
Xbox Music is also pretty ok , but I don´t want to pay for two subs.

Can you run Spotify in the background on PS4?

Edit: Yes , you can

shink · Mar 30, 2015

I hate app exclusives. I doubt they would allow competing services, for instance the new TidalHiFi to be on there.

BattleMedic · Mar 30, 2015

That background play is so so good, can't wait to try it.

evanmisha · Mar 30, 2015

Figures this comes out the day my Internet is down. Can't wait to use my Spotify playlists with Bloodborne

V_Ben · Mar 30, 2015

Ha, it was in the 2.50 update! Now that's some stealth.

Nice, and my country is in the 41 launch markets!

Erasus · Mar 30, 2015

Not out on PS3?

Robin64 · Mar 30, 2015

Does it require Spotify Premium? I have Spotify on my 5.1 HTC, but it requires Premium.

Omni · Mar 30, 2015

Stupid.

Vashetti · Mar 30, 2015

(UK) Can't find the app on the store and Music Unlimited hasn't been replaced.

RedAssedApe · Mar 30, 2015

Not out yet in the us.

If you launch music unlimited you get "try spotiify on playstation music today..." And if you click ok it tries to take you to the store but errors out since the app isn't up yet

No.

uncleniccius · Mar 30, 2015

This just makes Tay Tay's absence from spotify even more painful ;(
I own all of her music, is there a way to transfer?

Wind's Howling · Mar 30, 2015

Rockstar needs to update GTA V fast so Spotify can become your own radio station while driving around.

delSai · Mar 30, 2015

Dis being exclusive is huge.

Andrefpvs · Mar 30, 2015

Can anyone find it on PS3?

Searching for "PlayStation Music" or "Spotify" yields no results.

EricTheCleric · Mar 30, 2015

Exclusivity is stupidity

also, will this come to the Vita?

Noisepurge · Mar 30, 2015

Awesome, makes echo grinding in Bloodborne much better!

Gross.

Also it doesn't work for me yet. Not on my UK or my US accounts.

Pankratous · Mar 30, 2015

Nice. I'll try this soon. Don't need to right now as I'm playing DmC and it already has the best music.

Arxisz · Mar 30, 2015

Wait, does background play work on the Ps3 too? or is that just on PS4?

My guess it will appear for other playstation platforms when store updates

jooso · Mar 30, 2015

This will be excellent with some open world games.

TheNAC · Mar 30, 2015

Knew this would happen. Awesome.

Nzyme32 · Mar 30, 2015

Good stuff. Hope Steam gets its shit together; Spotify support has been dormant in there since 2013, and Valve remain typically quiet

FootballFan · Mar 30, 2015

Awesome awesome awesome!!!

GnawtyDog · Mar 30, 2015

Very nice.

Moozo · Mar 30, 2015

Can't see it on my PS4

Psychological Intellect · Mar 30, 2015

YEEEESSSSS

It's on the dashboard under music.

SnowHawk · Mar 30, 2015

I can't find it. Is it on the store?

Sitris · Mar 30, 2015

Anyone found a way to use it in Australia? Can't seem to see it on the ps store or in the usual locations on my PS4.

Can't you just run Spotify in the background on PC anyway?

Tsokolit · Mar 30, 2015

Yes its here!

Jotamide · Mar 30, 2015

Vita am cry.

You think they would replace this with their own service only for it to come on competing devices? lol

RedAssedApe · Mar 30, 2015

looks like you can change tracks and stuff via your phone or tablet.

kind of scared what streams are gonna be like now...are you going to be able to hear the music over twitch?

Goodacre0081 · Mar 30, 2015

can someone who has the app go and check if it works like the xbox360 custom tracks and automatically turns off the game music?

UnluckyKate · Mar 30, 2015

I cant find it. Where is it ?

The Verge says it doesn't, you have to manually adjust the volume of the game.
