NBCUniversal has rolled out its own streaming service nationally. The new streaming service, Peacock, is available to join for free across many different platforms, however, it will be available on PlayStation 4 a little later.

Back in April, NBC launched Peacock for select Comcast subscribers. The latest streaming addition to an oversaturated space is where viewers can watch beloved shows such as Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, and Saturday Night Live. Next year, Peacock will be adding the binge-worthy show The Office once it leaves Netflix.

While Peacock is available on plenty of platforms, it won’t be available at launch on the Playstation 4. NBC confirmed recently that Peacock will launch on Sony’s gaming console the week of July 20th. NBC didn’t offer up any specific date for release for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro but owners of those consoles won’t have to wait particularly long for the service.

PlayStations aren’t the only platform missing from the full launch of Peacock. The service is also not available on Roku or Amazon’s Fire TV devices. Currently, there’s no news on if Peacock will eventually come to those platforms at a later date.

In the rise of the digital age, it’s surprising to see streaming services not available on every platform right away. Of course, there’s money to be exchanged and different services to develop for, but it’s still puzzling to have new streaming channels absent from the more popular platforms. The PlayStation 4 is the best selling console this generation and Roku and Amazon Fire TV dominate their competition as well. Luckily for consumers, Peacock has a free subscription plan available along with other paid plans for more content.
