I’ve recently subscribed to Paramount Plus’s Essential plan to watch my all-time favorite web series, Teen Wolf. At first, I watched a few episodes on my smartphone and got annoyed by the screen size. After that, I got to know that the Paramount Plus app is officially available on the PS5 console for direct installation. Once I heard the news, I began to install the Paramount+ app on my PlayStation 5 console and started watching Teen Wolf without any interruptions.
On further search, I came to know that the Paramount Plus platform gives access to 400+ shows and 500+ movies across popular channels, including Paramount Network, CBS, MTV, and more. Like me, if you’re looking for a streaming app to watch your favorite shows and movies on your PS5 console, then I recommend using the Paramount Plus app.
In this article, I have explained the procedure for installing and activating the Paramount Plus app on your Play Station 5. Meanwhile, if you don’t opt to install the app on your PS5, I have also described the screen mirroring method that you can use to watch your desired content from your smartphone to your PS5.
