The highly-anticipated PS5 cloud streaming feature has been introduced through a limited preview exclusively available to selected PlayStation Plus Premium members. This remarkable feature, although separate from the recently announced PlayStation 5 beta firmware, is accessible to those who have received the invite, granting them access to the new firmware as well.
Preliminary reports on the reputable ResetEra board indicate that the PS5 cloud streaming feature supports 4K resolution, which comes as a delightful surprise. Sony’s PlayStation Now cloud service, for instance, is only capable of streaming in 1080p. In fact, even Microsoft’s XCloud, included in their Game Pass Ultimate subscription tier, also has a maximum resolution of 1080p. Interestingly, although Microsoft is widely recognized as a dominant player in the cloud market to the extent that the CMA blocked the Activision Blizzard deal solely due to this reason, they are lagging behind not only PC cloud streaming services like GeForce NOW and Shadow but also Sony’s very own PS5 streaming when it comes to resolution capabilities.
However, the PS5 cloud streaming with its impressive 4K resolution (soon to be made available to the general public) holds its ground when compared to native games, at least according to initial reports. For an image comparison, you can refer to this link.
The following games are currently available:
- God of War: Ragnarok
- Horizon Forbidden West
- Fortnite
- Fall Guys
- Destiny 2
- Returnal
- Demon’s Souls
- Death Stranding
- Sackboy A Big Adventure
- Destruction All Stars
- Fall Guys
- Demon Slayer (Trial)
- Resident Evil Village (Trial)
Sony’s bold expansion into the PS5 cloud streaming and the forthcoming Project Q handheld is quite intriguing. Currently, the usage of this groundbreaking PlayStation 5 feature is reserved for the console itself, allowing users to avoid the hassle of game downloads. However, it is highly likely that Sony will eventually enable streaming to its Project Q device.
The anticipated release of Project Q is expected later this year. It will operate on a customized version of the Android operating system, although early rumors suggest that it may have a relatively low battery life.
