Subscribers of PlayStation Plus Premium can access PS5’s Cloud Gaming later this month

Sony looks to be adding another feature for its PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers with PS5 Cloud Gaming. With a targeted launch date of October 30 in North America, subscribers will gain access to a select number of digital PS5 titles within the PlayStation Plus Catalog and game trials. This allows players to have access to the full game without needing to download anything. Being a heavily requested feature, it’ll be interesting to see what other games they add to the PS5 Cloud Streaming.

Select PS5 games will be available for streaming, and we’re planning to have hundreds of PS5 titles to support this new benefit. This includes:

●  Top PS5 hits from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog*, such as Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima, Mortal Kombat 11, and Saints Row IV

●  Game Trials* for PS5 games, such as Hogwarts Legacy, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and The Calisto Protocol

●  Additional PS5 digital titles PlayStation Plus Premium members own that will be available for streaming, such as Resident Evil 4, Dead Island 2, Genshin Impact, Fall Guys, and Fortnite

These are just a few examples of supported PS5 games that will include a cloud streaming option, in addition to download.

PS5 cloud streaming is exclusively available on the PS5 console at launch. Without having to download a game, players can access PS5 game streaming with their PlayStation Plus Premium membership. Additionally, PlayStation Plus Premium members will also see features available with the new PS5 streaming benefit, including:

●  Downloadable content and in-game purchases will be available for PS5 game streaming, including DLC and add-ons – similar to purchases from downloadable games.

●  High quality resolution options**, including 4K, 1440p, 1080p, and 720p, with 60 FPS and SDR or HDR output.

●  Enhanced audio with support for all PS5 audio capabilities including 5.1 and 7.1 as well as Tempest 3D Audiotech.

●  Capture screenshots and record up to 3 minutes of video, which will be downloaded to your Media Gallery on PS5 and also available in the Media Gallery on PS App

Since this will be a large undertaking for our teams to roll out, we plan to launch regionally through a phased approach. Here are the launch dates we are currently targeting in local times:

●  Japan – targeting October 17

●  Europe – targeting October 23

●  North America – targeting October 30
