I'd say the important bit is this one:

"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"

This sentence leads to think that at least some digital PS5 games that you bought and aren't included in the PS Plus subscription will also be able to be streamed from your servers (if you have PS+ Premium) to PS, PC and eventually mobile.

Who knows, maybe this even makes possible to stream PS5 games to PS4 (but there's the adaptative triggers or haptic feedback stuff which would require them extra work to be adapted/disabled).

And maybe, if they replace their PS4 server blades for PS5 server blades to store PS4 games, that would improve the performace of PS4 games streaming for when playing them streamed in PS4, PS5 or PC.

The future is cloud gaming and Sony will be at the forefront.

3 billions devices are just waiting. Unlimited reach in every bathroom 😁

Yesterday I wanted to play NBA2k23 on Ps+ to get the PS stars point but it was 100gb. This could be a good use for streaming.

Lol that one I'm still deciding if it's worth the 50 points to download the 100gb. Yeah streaming is the cheat code to getting the points for some games.

Every week I go to my girlfriends house and am not trying to lug around or buy another PS5 so I always have my laptop for work and seamlessly and with good quality was able to play SF6 via remote play. Was able to progress and enjoyed playing as if I was home. Controller is also plug and play.

I hope the Project Q controller at least lets you try to remote play in this scenario. Even if lag is too bad to actually play, it would be nice if they didn't lock it down to local network only.

Nahhh lag isn't bad at all for me via remote play and I go 120 miles away so she doesnt live close. I actually even play COD mp and still come out top three generally which speaks volumes about how good remote play works for me. My internet at home is actually 1 gig fios but hers is shit sometjing like 200 mb dl but it still works really good.

Seems like the next logical step, options are never bad. If the Q-Lite is a good product then this will def come in handy for me, even at home.
I think it's pretty cool. Love the form factor and the idea of it being a ps5 controller with a screen in the middle. Funny enough before ps5 launched rumors were tht the controller had a screen in the middle so I'm sure this was planned a long time ago.

Yes I remember that rumor and we know Sony is always thinking ahead with their R&D so it's definitely not something that popped last minute. I'm not a huge fan of the design but will wait to see more of it. Hopefully they'll find a decent price point for it.

There was a Sony patent back in 2018 (which was an update of a 2016 patent, which was also an update of a 2014 patent) that featured a gamepad with a screen there.

They designed it while ago, took their time to turn it into a commercial product.

I consider anyone in favour of cloud streaming, an enemy of the industry and a paid shill.
