And just like that... Australian streaming service Binge has finally made its long-awaited console debut, with the app now available to download on PS4 and PS5 consoles.
Streamotion's Binge service first landed on the Australian streaming scene in May 2020, when the company revealed it was working on an app for PlayStation consoles. Well, it may have taken longer than expected, but Binge has kept his promise.
The service arrived on PlayStation consoles just in time for the highly anticipated second season of HBO's Euphoria, which arrives on Binge on January 10, and the upcoming Suicide Squad spin-off series Peacemaker, which is scheduled to launch on January 13.
Will it be the next Xbox support?
While widespread thinking would suggest that an Xbox version of streaming app Binge is next on Streammotion's agenda, we won't be holding our breath.
As we mentioned earlier, a Binge app for PlayStation consoles was announced over a year and a half ago when the service launched and has only seen the light of day now. And, at the time, no mention was made of an Xbox version in the works.
Oddly enough, Streammotion's Foxtel app was previously available for last-gen Xbox One consoles, but has since disappeared from the Xbox store. This makes us think that licensing issues are probably to blame for Streammotion's Xbox collapse.
Of course, that doesn't mean we'll never see Binge on Xbox consoles: Help Center for Streammotion's streaming service Kayo says that an Xbox app is currently on its development roadmap, it will. So of course there could be plans to bring You Can also go to Xbox at some point.
