What is Paramount Plus?
Paramount Plus is a streaming service akin to Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus, and Netflix, that uses the same subscription-based model to attract an army of avid streamers.

How do I download Paramount Plus?
If you’re looking to get the South Park streaming service for yourself, we’ve got a special Paramount Plus download guide to get the app on your devices. Unfortunately, unlike Crunchyroll, this service isn’t available on your Switch, but you can get it on both iPhone and Android.
