Spotify is getting into gameplay ΓÇö kind of ΓÇö through a partnership with
EA Sports. The music streaming platform has teamed up with the sports video
game maker to give users integrated streaming access while playing EA Sports
FC 25.

This partnership should allow players on the PS5 and Xbox Series X or S to
access Spotify music, podcasts and audiobooks. The only catch? It's currently
a pilot program and only available to users in Australia and Saudi Arabia. Oh
and it's exclusive to Spotify Premium subscribers.

Applicable players will see a new Spotify tab in the main menu section and
can log into their accounts there. They can then access Spotify from the set-
up or pause menus ΓÇö so they will have to interrupt gameplay to choose a
song. The latter is also where gamers can skip or pick a new track. These
tracks will show up as a small icon at the top of the screen.

Players can opt out of the game's default audio in favor of their Spotify
playlist. However, Spotify cautions that "certain music" won't be available
right now.
