The consoles have been mysteriously left out while Xbox users have been able to access it.
But ITV has finally decided its time to bring ITVX to PlayStation.
ITVX is home to several big hit series, including Mr Bates vs The Post Office which is the British broadcaster’s biggest drama in over a decade.
ITV recently revealed plans to expand the streaming service to more devices but didn’t share an exact date.
“This is excellent news!” one fan wrote on X.
It comes as the firm aims to grow its paid subscriber base to 2.5million by 2026.
ITVX Premium offers extra content – including the full BritBox catalogue – as well as no adverts.
ITVX saw a massive 26 per cent jump in streaming hours for 2023, compare with the previous year, clocking up more than 1.5million hours.
New content is added to the platform all the time and ITV recently signed a deal with US network AMC for a load of extra shows.
The announcement comes amid a number of changes to ITV’s digital offering, as all remaining BritBox subscribers are moved across to ITVX.
And the ITV Catch Up service on Amazon Prime was closed down.
ITV also recently sold its share in BritBox International to the BBC.
