As the PS Plus Extra and Premium games for June 2023 are announced, the Japanese firm is developing an important point. Sony is looking to invest in the Cloud with its PlayStation and its games. A service that will only be available with the PS Plus Premium, but which will have many advantages. No more lengthy downloads, it will soon be possible to launch any game without wasting time.
“We think it’s important for Premium members to be able to enjoy as many games as possible via cloud streaming. As more and more games continue to launch on the PS5 console, we look forward to adding cloud streaming capability for PS5 titles in addition to PS3, PS4, and classic titles that are already available to Premium members. »
Nick Maguire, Vice President of Sony Interactive Entertainment
Thus, even if the service finds itself stuck behind a slightly more expensive subscription than the basic one, the advantages offered should largely compensate for the price. Even if these are only tests for the moment, this option should combine perfectly with Project Q, the nomadic accessory of the PS5. As noted in the release, PlayStation already allows cloud streaming with some of its older titles. Making the most recent titles accessible via this service would make it possible to bypass their downloading to enjoy them as soon as they are released.
