Earlier this year, PlayStation announced they would bring game streaming to PS Plus Premium members for PlayStation 5. Today, they have revealed it’s set to launch later this month. It will be available for supported PS5 digital titles within the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, Game Trials, and supported titles in the PS5 game library that Premium members own.
PlayStation is planning to have hundreds of PS5 titles that will support PS5 game streaming. 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 titles including Hogwarts Legacy, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and The Callisto Protocol. Additional PS5 digital titles PlayStation Plus Premium members own that will be available for streaming include Resident Evil 4, Dead Island 2, Genshin Impact, Fall Guys, and Fortnite.
PlayStation 5 cloud streaming will feature several benefits for Premium members. Downloadable content and in-game purchases will be available for PS5 game streaming, including DLC and add-ons – similar to purchases from downloadable games. Players can choose between several resolution options such as 4K, 1440p, 1080p, and 720p, with 60 FPS and SDR or HDR input. PS5 game streaming will have enhanced audio with support for all PS5 audio capabilities including 5.1 and 7.1 as well as Tempest 3D Audiotech. Players can capture screenshots and record up to 3 minutes of video, which will be downloaded to the Media Gallery on PS5 and will also be available in the Media Gallery on PS App.
Game streaming on PS5 will launch regionally through a phased approach. The target launch for Japan is October 17. In Europe, the target date is October 23 and game streaming in North America is targeting October 30.
