For all the console gaming enthusiasts, Spotify's got some good news.

The soundscape of gaming has reached a new decibel in India, with Spotify on PlayStation™ Music rolling out in the country today. This gives the console gaming fans a great way to listen to their favorite tracks while tackling the adrenaline rush of fighting evil or scoring a goal on-screen. Users can access Spotify’s free service on PlayStation™ Music through the PS4™ and PS3™ system. Any user who hasn’t previously subscribed to Spotify Premium’s monthly subscription service is eligible to sign up for a free one month trial, which gives you access to ad-free high quality audio and more perks from Spotify. If you are an existing Spotify user, you can also link your Spotify account to PS Music compatible devices. To make controlling your music even easier, PS4 and PS3 users will be able to take advantage of the Spotify Connect feature on the official Spotify app for Android/iOS. You can select a playlist, skip songs, adjust the volume, and more. PS4 owners can also let friends and family know what tracks they’re listening to using PS4’s share button feature. Besides India, Spotify on PlayStation™ Music has also launched in parallel, in Colombia, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Lebanon.
