PlayStation will launch a Crunchyroll anime hub on PS5 in spring 2027 that links anime discovery, games, and app access. The feature expands an existing Sony-Crunchyroll partnership that already includes memberships and an upcoming Ghost of Tsushima anime series.
The hub is designed to connect anime discovery, anime-inspired games, and direct app access on the console.
Serving fans means meeting them where they already are.
