If you've got a PlayStation 5 console and you want to see what all this Ted Lasso palaver is about, you're in luck. Starting today through until 22nd July 2022, you can get six months of Apple TV+ for free via the PS5 Media app. This offer is only open to PS5 owners, as you need to activate it through the console itself. The best part is that existing subscribers can also take advantage, meaning everyone's welcome.
As detailed on the official PlayStation website, here's how you claim the free six months of Apple TV+:
- Find the Apple TV app from your PS5 console’s search bar, or find it under “All apps” in Media home.
- Download and open the Apple TV app and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Sign in with your Apple ID or create an Apple ID if you don’t already have one.
- Enjoy your six free months of Apple TV+.
Once the six months of free access expires, you can either cancel your subscription or pay £4.99 per month to continue watching the service's movies and TV shows. Again, you can only activate this offer through the PS5 system. "Redemption is required through your PlayStation 5 console." Once activated, you'll be able to check out Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park stadium in all its glory, and catch series like For All Mankind.

My original free trial expires next week and Ted Lasso Season 2 is coming tomorrow so this is perfect timing
Sony is really lacking some marketing. Team Green would make a breaking news out of this, biggest gift since Nature gave us life on Earth, etc..
This is amazing, my year just finished a few days ago. Wasn’t bothered about it, but was getting FOMO over Ted Lasso which I haven’t seen yet
Nice! I was never going to add another sub to my list, but I'll definitely take 6 months for free.
@Cikajovazmaj A greater gift than life itself.
@NateGoesLive I loved Ted Lasso - just a show about a nice guy being nice lol
Definitely watching season 2 ASAP
It definitely didn’t work, I couldn’t see the offer. I paid £4.99 to resub and still nothing at all..
Sweet! I'll give Ted Lasso a go. Heard fairly decent things about it.
That’s good news. Thanks for letting us know. Can you let me know where the “deactivate auto renew” function is too?
For those of you who do end up activating it, I highly recommend For All Mankind, which is a series (2 seasons at this point) that is great speculative fiction asking the question "What if the Soviets had beaten the US in the race to the moon?"
Damn another reason I hope to get my hands on a PS5 soon. Need more Ted Lasso!
@Cikajovazmaj the best is being Team RGB (Nintendo, Xbox, PlayStation) and getting free stuff all the time - more so from Team Green (less so Team Red - i.e. never, so why did I even bother mentioning it) as sometimes the Game Pass Perks are actually really good.
That's cool, hopefully there's something on the service we will enjoy watching. Free stuff is always great!!
The Morning Show is definitely some of the best tv ever so people should definitely watch that.
Doesn't work for me. No instructions received...
@GamingFan4Lyf actually, I'm on Team RGB but I sort of root for Sony because people tend to give them too much cr*p, when they maybe deserve 10% of it.
Doesn't work in the Benelux even though it's in the Participating countries ...
My brother gave me his code for 12 months, honestly I have only watched maybe 2 shows the morning show which was decent and servant also ok, did start mankind but found it a bit boring tbh. Other than that haven't really watched anything on it would definitely not subscribe to it, I just didn't see much content on it tbh, but I guess if you haven't watched anything on it b4 then 6 month free is more than enough time for you to watch the shows.
So this adds 6 months to existing subscriptions?
Central Park and Schmigadoon have my votes at the moment! They’re both releasing new episodes right now, so if you need to scratch that musical theatre/comedy itch they are well worth a watch
I prefer if it's apple arcade since I already got a couple of shows to watch on netflix.
Mythic Quest is brilliant for anyone wanting something to watch.
@wiiware I saw the title and initially thought it was for Apple Arcade which was really weird since it's only available on Apple hardware.
For those w/o a PS5 you can get a 4 month free trial of Apple TV+ with a free Target Circle account. Probably US only. Also Arcade, Music and cloud storage.

Nice! Been umming and ahhing about getting this. As others have said, Sony really need to be more proactive with marketing. XBox made a massive hullabaloo about what amounted to a 30 day free trial for Disney plus, and even that was only for new customers!
When I try and download the app it tells me it only works on PS4 and won't let me go any further. **** 'em!
@Loftimus was just about to say the same thing! Says only ps4 app works!
I'm presuming the AppleTV+ app was working fine before today?!?
Don't think it's working for me. Logged into Apple TV on PS5. and there's nothing
@JapaneseSonic Poland is on the list of participating countries, should work. I'll check later. Apparently people are having trouble redeeming the offer anywhere right now.
Finally downloaded the app and logged in, but there's only a 7 day free trial rather than 6 months! (this is UK app)
So confused! 😂
@Perryg92 same here. Hasn't worked for me yet.
@Pusher2021 Ok guys & girls, it worked.
There's a little banner on the right in the Apple TV+ app on PS5. Also needs a working CC. I implemented it on PC via Icloud. + the app gets an update on PS5. Hope this helps! Also reboot your PS5!
Welp, for me it does say 6 months (after an app update that wasn’t automatic) but it won’t log me in despite providing the correct credentials (and I know I did because it did send a code to my iPhone for 2FA). I’ll try again tomorrow.
@PapaGlitch @The_Pixel_King @Daleaf @redd214 @Shepherd_Tallon I highly recommend these Apple TV+ Originals.

Apple TV+?! No thanks, not even for free.
That Ted Lasso looks and sounds utter *****. Aimed at non-football fans.
Waiting for the British version where some Cockney or Scouser ends up being head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, like that will ever happen.
🙄
Works for me . Thanks pushsquare 🙂🙂🙂
My experience in trying to get this to work has been manic at best!... And still don't have access!
First they ask you to download the app on PS5.... Went to download it yesterday and it says the app isn't compatible with the PS5 console.
A few hrs later it downloaded and I logged in.... But it only said the free period was 7 days.
Waited till this morning... Now it says 6 months.... but my card info had expired as I haven't used Apple in a decade... You cant just update card info on the app, you have to use an Apple device or go on the web.
Went on the website, it asked security questions which I forgot (as it's been a decade) so had to redo a bunch of checks.
Finally got in and changed card details, went back to the PS5 app, went through all the processes to get the free 6 months.... and the final card says "Error! Please Try Again". :/
AppleTV+, the Dark Souls of Streaming Apps
Oh hey, it worked
nice one Apple & Sony just Got 3 months free with my new iPhone as well.
I've had Apple One for a few months but this would have been better seeing how their Arcade games aren't that great.
