Sony to kill Music Unlimited for Spotify powered Playstation Music

Thanks to a major deal with Spotify, Sony is going to stop their not-so-great Music Unlimited music streaming service and replace the service with Spotify powered ‘Playstation Music’. Though Playstation Music will be accessible from Playstation 3 and Playstation 4 for now, Sony is planning to expand the availability to Xperia smartphones and tablets in the near future. Spotify, as of now has more than 30 million songs, 1.5 billion playlists.

Gamers can use Playstation Music to play music from Spotify in the background while in gaming session. Thanks to massive playlist library, gamers can play songs from playlists that would match the game that they are playing.  Sony’s Music Unlimited service will close in all 19 countries on 29th of March 2015. Playstation Music will launch in USA, Canada, Mexico and Brazil on 28th of February. Those with Music Unlimited subscription will get up to 30 days of free access to Playstation Music through March 29, 2015.

“We know how important music is to our community of gamers, and this partnership combines the best in music with the best in gaming. PlayStation Network users will enjoy the convenience of linking your accounts to Spotify, making it easy to sign-up with your existing ID and subscribe to Spotify’s Premium service. You can also use Spotify while playing games on PS4, enabling you to soundtrack your gaming sessions with your favorite songs in the background. Want something heavy and rocking for an intense Destiny Raid? How about some old school hip hop while taking the field in Madden NFL? With more than 30 million songs and 1.5 billion playlists, Spotify on PlayStation Music has it covered. As we get closer to launch we look forward to telling you about some of the other great features that will be available exclusively through Spotify on PlayStation Music.”, said, Eric Lempel, VP, Sony Network Entertainment
