# Rad TV for PS5 / PS VR2

{% hint style="info" %}
Rad TV for PlayStation 5 and PS VR2 is actually two applications in one: a standard version and a VR version. The standard version on the PS5 is a 2D experience while the VR version has support for the PS VR2 and stereoscopic (3D) content.

## How to Install

Search "Rad TV" on the PlayStation store.

{% hint style="info" %}
Sony Interactive Entertainment removed streaming apps from its web-based store. You will need to go onto the device itself and find the application inside the store application, NOT on the website. Only games are listed on the PlayStation website.
{% endhint %}

## How to Select a Specific Application Version

  It will load directly into the standard version of the application.
