Sony announced its plans to launch its cloud-based streaming service for PlayStation 5which will start rolling out the rest of this month of October and will be available to group members PlayStation Plus Premium.

Hideaki Nishino, vice president of platform experience at Sony, said that “some PS5 games will be available for streaming, and we plan to have hundreds of PS5 titles to support this new benefit.” The plan is to launch the service on October 17, 2023 in Japan, and on 23 .the same month in Europe and North America.

Among the supported titles in the catalog will be Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima, Mortal Kombat 11 and Saints Row IV. In addition, some PlayStation 5 digital titles that users have purchased can also be played through streamingas Resident Evil 4, Dead Island 2, Genshin Impact, Fall Guys and Fortnite, to which are added playtests including Hogwarts Legacy, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and The Calisto Protocol. Sony has announced that purchased DLC for PlayStation 5 titles will be streamable.

Since not everyone uses the same resolution screen, PlayStation Plus Premium users will have options 720p, 1080p, 1440p and 4Kwith support for up to 60 frames per second and SDR or HDR output. At the sound level, it will be possible to select 5.1, 7.1 and Tempest 3D Audiotech, among other options.

As a feature, players will be able to take screenshots and videos of up to three minutes, which will be downloaded to the gallery on PlayStation 5 and will also be available through the PlayStation app.

In addition to cloud video gaming, which could see significant growth following Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Sony recently announced the new PlayStation 5, which did not turn out to be the expected Slim model. The bubble caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has prevented the consolidation of the ninth generation of consoles, which, unless it can be restarted, aims to die an early death compared to the previous ones.
