PS Plus Premium members are getting a neat extra perk for their subscription. Sony announced on PlayStation Blog that cloud streaming is coming for later this month.
These titles range from ones available on the PlayStation Plus catalog to digital purchases already in users’ libraries and Game Trials. Supported titles range from the Resident Evil 4 remake to free-to-play games like Genshin Impact. In-game purchases are also available for streaming, whic𓂃h Sony compa🐬res to purchases from downloaded games.
Some PS5 cloud streaming features include playing at up to 4K with HDR and access to the console’s audio capabilities. Video capture is also available for up to 3 minutes along with screenshots.
PS5 cloud streaming will launch worldwide in phases based o♕n the region. Japan will receive the feature first on October 17 before reaching Europe on October 23. North America has the latest launch on October 30. The feature will only be available on PS5 consoles at launch.
Cloud streaming their games is a neat perk to the service for anyone with PS Plus Premium and is low on storage. Even with the PS5 Slim’s 1TB of storage, many modern games are exorbitantly big, so being able 🐼to stream the🀅m could potentially mitigate storage issues at least a bit.
Whether PS5 cloud streaming adds substantial value to PS Plus Premium is up to the individual player. Game Tria🐼ls potentially benefit from this since they are more or less extended demos, meaning far less time investment. Even so, PS cloud streaming caꦚn be spotty even with great internet.
Hopefully, any benefits from streaming PS5 titles will outweigh the cons that come with it. Its use will vary with each subscriber’s internet speed, but ideally, it helps avoid lengthy download times.
