Assuming your TV is UHD-capable, you can watch visually stunning shows, like Sir David Attenborough’s The Mating Game, in Ultra HD using the PS5.
The BBC also very recently announced that it would be adding over 1000 boxsets to its streaming service, including the aforementioned new series’, there will be shows we all know and love, like Killing Eve, Peaky Blinders and Luther, just to name a few.
New films will also be added, including the modern horror The Babadook, if you’re already feeling nostalgic for Halloween.
