A standalone Paramount Plus app isn't available on either the Xbox or PlayStation.

This means you could watch Paramount Plus through the Prime Video app on all compatible devices, which includes game consoles.

How does Paramount Plus compare to Netflix, Stan and other streaming services?

Paramount Plus has a diverse library and a lower price compared to some of its competitors like Netflix, Stan and BINGE. It also offers live sport, a huge selling point that makes it a must-have for football fans. It all comes down to what you like to watch, so we suggest using the free trial to browse the content catalogue and see whether there are enough appealing titles to entertain you in the long run.

Is Paramount Plus worth it in Australia?

Maybe. Considering the size of the library and the fact that fresh titles are added regularly, Paramount Plus might be a good fit for you. It all depends on your streaming needs. As we've already mentioned, Australian football fans have plenty of reasons to give it a go.
