Sony is gearing up to launch the capability to stream PS5 games on your PS5 in Japan, Europe, and North America in late October. This feature will be available for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers. Sony plans to introduce the feature in phases, with the initial release dates set as follows:
– Japan: October 17th
– Europe: October 23rd
– North America: October 30th
Initially, users will be able to stream “select” PS5 games, but Sony intends to offer “hundreds” of PS5 games for streaming in the future. Compatible games will include those from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, digital games that players own (e.g., Resident Evil 4, Genshin Impact, and Fortnite), and game trials like Hogwarts Legacy and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. However, the specific list of games available at launch has not been provided.
Sony also allows users to select their preferred streaming resolution, offering options of 4K, 1440p, 1080p, and 720p. It’s worth noting that PS5 game streaming will be limited to PS5 consoles at the launch of this feature, leaving room for speculation about the possibility of streaming PS5 games to other devices in the future.
Sony has been preparing for a cloud gaming push for some time, commencing official tests of cloud-streamed PS5 games in June. It’s important to see how well these cloud-streamed PS5 games perform, and gamers are eager to give it a try to assess the quality of the gaming experience.
