Improved Streaming Offer on PlayStation

As announced last June, PlayStation is preparing to improve the streaming offer of son PS Plus. At the time, we were able to discuss with Nick Maguire, global subscription manager for the Sony brand. In a few months, Premium subscribers – the most expensive – will be able to stream any PS5 game, be it games from the Extra-Premium catalog, trial versions or any next-gen title in their library. A nice step forward. To date, if you start playback at distance on a title that bears the mention PS4 | PS5 is the version of old generation which appears! If you want to take advantage of thenext-gen”, then you have to download.

4K streaming on PS5

But that will soon be history. As explained on , at the beginning of the week, some ‘Premium’ subscribers received an invitation to try – in preview – these new streaming features! For these lucky ones, a dozen PS5 titles are now available in the cloud… including God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, Returnal or even Demon’s Souls.

Cherry on the cake, PS5 game streaming supports 4K! A notable novelty for PlayStation, but also in the ecosystem of consoles in general, insofar as Xbox and son xCloud does not allow to display such a resolution (it is 1080p | 60 fps max). Since 2021: servers at distance of Microsoft have appropriated the power of the Xbox Series, with improvements in certain games, such as Yakuza Like a Dragon or Ori and the Will. of the Wisps.

“I just tested Ragnarok in 2160p quality (on PS5), I had no problem so far” explains ArashiGames, on Remain. As on can see it on a capture screen, the beta allows it to choose between four resolutions (720p, 1080, 1440p, 2160) and to import PS4 saves from the cloud. For now: Sony has not revealed any date for the arrival of this update.
