Sony har ikke fingrene lige så dybt nede i streaming som Microsoft, men det lader nu til at de indleder en ny fase, hvor PS5-brugere vil blive introduceret lidt mere for netop den mulighed.
Sony har via PlayStation Blog slået fast, at de er ved at færdigteste en feature, der vil lade dig streame PS5-spil fra din... ja, din PS5. Ideen er at du ikke nødvendigvis behøver at vente på et langt download, men lynhurtigt kan hoppe ind i et spil for at se om det er noget for dig.
"First off, we have very exciting news for PlayStation Plus Premium members. We're currently testing cloud streaming for supported PS5 games - this includes PS5 titles from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog and Game Trials, as well as supported digital PS5 titles that players own. When this feature launches, cloud game streaming for supported PS5 titles will be available for use directly on your PS5 console. That means as a Premium member, it'll be easier to jump into your favorite games without downloading them first onto your PS5 console. Our goal is to add this as an additional benefit to PlayStation Plus Premium as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the value of PlayStation Plus."
Bemærk at de skriver "supported PS5 games", det betyder at vi ikke nødvendigvis kan regne med at det gælder for hele kataloget.
