While there’s currently only BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport, Demand 5 and IGN video services available on the PS4, more apps will become available when the system launches on Friday.
Landing on November 29th are Netflix and LoveFilm players, while Sony’s own Music and Video Unlimited services will be available. Other apps on launch day include BBC News, Wuaki.tv, Total Channel, RTBF, NOS Sports, Ximon, Watchever, maxdome and Viaplay, while more will become available in December and beyond.
Those include VidZone and Quickflix, which will launch on or before the 4th of December, but that’s not all – there’ll be even more apps by Spring 2014, including Game One, FilmoTV and TuneIn Radio, the latter of which recently released on PS3 and PS Vita.
None of these apps will need a PlayStation Plus subscription to use, although some naturally may come with their own costs and subscriptions.

Will BBC News be just the BBC News Channel streamed or will it be like a BBC News app to read news articles?
