Want a timeless classic? Crunchyroll has plenty, from "Akira" to "Cowboy Bebop." Want to watch something newer? Crunchyroll's got you covered with titles like "Demon Slayer" and "Spy x Family." Plus, depending on the show, Crunchyroll offers plenty of language options. If you can think of an anime show or movie, you can probably watch it on Crunchyroll. Like Netflix and Tubi, Crunchyroll functions much the same way on PlayStation 5 as it does on other platforms. While you can stream Netflix on your PS5, try seeking out other, more environmentally-friendly options as well. This doesn't sound like much, especially since the console uses between 201 and 218 watts while gaming, depending on the model, but that's significantly more than the wattage used by devices like Apple TV or Roku. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the PS5 uses around 70 watts per hour while streaming shows and movies. Obviously, you need a subscription, but the climate conscientious might want to forego Netflix on the PS5. You can access, install, and use Netflix on the PS5 via the Media tab in the home menu, but there are a few caveats. Since Netflix on PS5 connects to the same server as every other version of the app, you can watch classics such as "Conan the Barbarian," newer titles like "Bullet Train," and Netflix originals like "Inside Job" and "Black Mirror." Moreover, using the PS5 controller with Netflix is surprisingly comfortable. Just log into the app on your console and start streaming.

Netflix on the PS5 works basically the same as it does on PC, mobile platforms, and smart TVs. But if you do, you don't have to tinker with many settings the camera automatically crops out backgrounds to give a cleaner image of your gaming mug. While watching and creating content is as easy on the PS5 as it is on other devices, you will need the PS5 HD Camera if you want anyone to see your face. You can find, download, and access Twitch from the Media tab on your PS5 home page. This feature is ideal for PS5 exclusives such as "Demon's Souls" and "Ghost of Tsushima." If you link your Twitch account to your PS5, you can run the program in the background while gaming and it will automatically record your progress and beam it onto the internet for audiences to see. However, the true magic of Twitch on the PS5 is the ability to stream gameplay to a live audience. The app even includes chat on the side, but to actually communicate, you need to use a separate Twitch app on a mobile device. To start watching a stream on the PS5, just visit the Twitch app on the console, load up any channel you want, and enjoy the entertainment.
