Users gained access to Hulu in 2007. Since then, the service has proven its worth. Hulu specializes in providing access to video on demand with an extensive library that can be watched on many devices, including PS4 consoles. It offers hundreds of movies and TV shows, as well as a growing amount of fantastic original content.
To take advantage of this streaming platform, go directly to Hulu and take out one of the subscriptions available there.
Installing and using the Hulu app for different devices is a bit different. This is particularly true for the PS4. See how to install and access Hulu on PS4 and the content you can watch on this streaming service below.
