PS5 to add a dedicated Crunchyroll anime hub by spring 2027
Sony says PS5 will add a dedicated anime hub by spring 2027.
The hub will appear on the console’s main screen and give users access to the full Crunchyroll app and its titles.
It is intended to help people discover anime and anime-related games in one place.
The feature brings Sony and Crunchyroll closer together and aims to connect gaming and anime fans.
The announcement came as work continues on an anime based on PlayStation game Ghost of Tsushima.
That series is now expected in 2028, after an earlier plan for a 2027 release; no reason for the delay was given.
The hub’s arrival is planned for spring 2027, but no more specific launch date was announced.
