PS5 cloud streaming launches this month for PlayStation Plus Premium members

Since launching the all-new PlayStation Plus more than a year ago, we’ve seen such high engagement from our fans on our offerings – from the quality titles offered in the Game Catalog like Horizon Forbidden West and Sea of Stars, to new trophy features we’ve added to classic games like Legend of Dragoon and Syphon Filter.

Today we have more details to share about PS5 cloud streaming for PlayStation Plus Premium members. Starting this month, we will begin launching cloud streaming access for supported PS5 digital titles within the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog* and Game Trials*, as well as supported titles in the PS5 game library that PlayStation Plus Premium members own.

Been playing a lot of cloud streaming over the last 2 months. Remote for playstation and xcloud for gamepass and a bit of Nvidia Geforce Now.

Xcloud is simply amazing. Being able to attach my backbone to my phone and play starfield or forza no Xbox needed at all is simply amazing. In the famous words of Tom Howard "it just works". No lag, no latency issues. Imo Microsoft and xcloud is the gold standard cloud games.

Nvidias is alright. Only got the free membership. Long wait times to actually play a game. But when I was able to play a game it worked fine. No lag no latency.

Sony is doing incredibly well. Streaming PS4 and PS3 games from ps5 has been like the others no issues no lag or latency issues.

So this is welcome. Still got a lot of work to do. Hopefully by next year. I could open my phone up and play ps5 games without the need of a ps5.

I tried getting one of those g-cloud devices when they were on sale for $150 last week. Sold out quick at that price. It seems like the ideal all-in-one handheld for streaming xcloud, remote play and geforce now. As it is i use my steam deck with xcloud, works really well for not having a dedicated app (it uses the edge browser). And remote play can run on it as well, i just havent done it.

I do have a portal on order... maybe by the time it comes out Sony will change their stance on allowing cloud streaming to it.

Steam deck is great for xcloud and remote play 👍

hiawa23561d ago

The Logitech G-Cloud is fantastic. I use it for my Series X and PS5 remote Play and cloud play.

TiredGamer561d ago

I would imagine that Sony would like to make the Portal compatible and might eventually. In today's gaming climate, it's better to under-promise and over-deliver later than risk aiming high and getting burned at the stake.

purple101562d ago

So will this stream directly to their new handheld thingy?

Mr Logic562d ago

Has not been announced. The technology is not incapable. It really just comes down to is Sony okay with someone buying the Portal and PS+ and never purchasing a PS5.

REDGUM561d ago (Edited 561d ago )

That's a really good point, as you're name suggests Mr Logic, I hadn't thought of that.
That said, the profits are in the software I believe so I could possibly see some kind of payment scheme happening to balance this?

andy85562d ago

I'm confused. So can I stream over the cloud to mobile or tablet like I can on Xbox now? Or is this just streaming on my PS5 which I don't really see the point of

Vits562d ago

You can only stream for your PS5 console for now. As for the point, other than using it to test a particular title I don't believe there is anything for the consumer. But it's also likely phase one of the project and hopefully, it will eventually be available on other devices.

andy85562d ago

Thats a shame, I use the XB cloud and its fantastic. PS are in need of similar

Eonjay561d ago

Its for like instant access to your purchases. So you can just start playing without downloading first. If your internet supports a good connection, all you have to do is go to any PS5 game you purchased and click 'Play'. Which is kinda good. I have Premium so I will try it for sure. If it works well it might solve a problem of space... even though I have an SSD in the expansion slot SMH. Plus being able to start playing instantly. If it sucks I wont bother...

EvertonFC562d ago (Edited 562d ago )

It should have been made available for ps plus extra members also. Don't need premium for trials and classics

andy85562d ago

I agree, but premium does need benefits as it really isn't worth the extra money over extra

EvertonFC562d ago (Edited 562d ago )

Agreed it needs benefits for sure but I'm just gonna not bother with premium to get the ps5 cloud streaming and not use the other premium features.
I know it's only a fiver extra but that's not the point imo. Still think on this one it should have been extra also.
Things like a free movie or a Sony music song or album should be incentives or £1 cheaper movie rentals or discount on movie purchases etc should be the incentives imo for premium.
I rent and buy alot of movies each month and would much prefer discounted rentals and purchases

I Don’t Understand ‘Blue Prince’

Shaz from Pixel Swish: "I had some thoughts (and a lot of questions) on the recently released puzzle roguelike, ‘Blue Prince,’ developed by Dogubomb and published by Raw Fury."

Me neither. Deleted it. Robocop is clearly more my level.

It's pretty damn good. I'm about 16 hours into it. Lots of secrets and mysteries. I'm on day 14 I think. Still haven't beaten it. Gotten very close a few times. Unlocked many secrets already. Instead of writing down things, I usually take pictures with my Playstation and write on them using the editor, its very fast. There is a small element of luck, but mostly it's about learning and planning and solving puzzles that are bigger than the one room you're in or the item you're looking at. There are so many secrets that some players will never know unless you put in the time and learn and pay attention. It's an eerie and mysterious puzzle game. I think it's addicting and a lot of fun. 9/10

I just got to day 4. First 2 days I started going into it blind, and just trying to remember by memory but got overwhelmed pretty quickly. Got a handy dandy notebook and my notes will definitely help in the long run.

Been enjoying it so far, but with Oblivion dropping and me stupidly picking it up, might take a hit to my playtime on Blue Prince.

I like that critical thinking and puzzle solving go hand in hand, and you're not having your hand held the whole time.

No game is for everyone. We all have different tastes, some have broader taste some have more specific taste and it’s ok either way. Play what you like!

Christopher7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

***The problem is, the game tells you absolutely nothing about what you’re actually supposed to do.***

Getting to room 46 itself is a puzzle and the whole game tells you to solve puzzles.

***But how do you know if something in a room actually has meaning?***

It's a puzzle game. It's not just going to hand you the answer. I guess this is the point where we get to people who want an NPC to tell them how to solve the part of a puzzle and the people who truly want to figure out the puzzle for themselves.

This makes me feel like some gamers are becoming more like my nephews, they're not solving problems, they're just looking for youtube videos of people who have solved them and following what they did.

P.S. Please don't write another first paragraph like the one in this again. It really sets a tone that you don't know what you're doing.

AvP on the Jag was pretty ambitious for the time. I always wondered what a smoother (faster) frame rate would have done for that game. nice to see a spiritual sequel is in the works after all these years.
