Sony and Spotify are teaming up for an exclusive partnership that will see Spotify replacing Sony's own Music Unlimited service on both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. This announcement goes hand in hand with Sony's new PlayStation Music service.
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.

The new service will launch initially on PS4 and PS3, as well as Xperia smartphones and tablets. You’ll of course be able to listen to your favorite playlists – including existing playlists from current Spotify users as well as Spotify curated playlists – and enjoy the service on all of Spotify’s supported devices.

Spotify will be coming to 41 markets around the world through the PlayStation Network. Music Unlimited will be closing in every one of the 19 countries it is currently available in come March 29, 2015. A comment in the blog announcement notes that both the premium and free versions of Spotify will be available at launch, except if you're on Vita.
