A standalone JoySauce streaming service is now confirmed to be launching later this year, offering consumers a direct way to access the company’s original and licensed American-Asian programming.
A standalone app will be available when the service goes live later in 2025, and access to content will require a paid subscription. It currently remains unclear when exactly the standalone streaming service will launch or how much it will cost each month, but it is expected to become available on all devices and offered to other streaming platforms.
For those that don’t want to pay for an additional subscription, a free, ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel is also confirmed to be in the works, and expected to launch after the standalone streaming service.
In the meantime, and through the same distribution partnership with Cineverse, JoySauce’s library of content is set to become immediately available to “leading streaming platforms.” JoySauce is using Cineverse’s Matchpoint platform for licensing and distribution of this content.
Titles now available to be licensed through Cineverse for streaming include the following:
