You'll need a PlayStation Network account and an Apple ID, then all you have to do is go into the Apple TV app on PlayStation to activate it.

  1. Find the Apple TV app from your PS5 console's search bar, or find it under "All apps" in Media home.

This won't work on any earlier PlayStation models like the PS4, and can't be redeemed on PC or mobile, only through your console. The good news, however, is that you can get 6 months free even if you're already on a free trial, which is perfect considering that most people's free trials are starting to run out.
