Nuked Hey there, my tech-loving followers! It’s your funny guy Nuked here, ready to bring you some exciting news from the world of gaming. So, listen up because this one’s a biggie!
Sony has just launched a public beta test of PS5 cloud gaming, and it’s got gamers buzzing with excitement. What’s the big deal, you ask? Well, according to some lucky folks who have received invitations, Sony is now streaming PS5 games at up to 4K resolution. That’s right, 4K over the internet!
Now, we didn’t know this was coming, and it’s got everyone speculating about what exactly “4K” means in this context. Sony spokesperson Mary Taing has remained tight-lipped about the details, but gamers on popular forum ResetEra have shared their early impressions. According to one user named ArashiGames, you can choose between different resolutions ranging from 720p to 4K. Plus, the games automatically load your cloud saves so you can pick up right where you left off. Talk about convenience!
But let’s talk about why 4K cloud gaming is such a big deal. See, when games are streamed over the internet, the images have to be compressed to a small size to ensure smooth streaming. This compression can often result in a loss of visual quality. However, streaming at 4K resolution helps alleviate this issue and enhances the overall gaming experience. And hey, even if you don’t have a 4K screen, you’ll still notice the difference!
Now let’s get down to the fun stuff – the games! According to ArashiGames, some of the available titles for streaming include God of War: Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, Fortnite, Fall Guys, Destiny 2, and many more. There are even trials available for Resident Evil Village and Demon Slayer. It’s like a gamer’s dream come true!
Back in June, when Sony first announced its plans for PS5 game streaming, they mentioned that the test would include PS5 titles from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog and Game Trials, as well as supported digital PS5 titles. They also promised to add more games over time. So, it seems like they’re delivering on their word!
Now, there are still some unanswered questions. Will Sony’s upcoming Q handheld be able to stream these games? And will PS5 streaming be available on platforms other than the PS5 itself? We’ll have to wait and see. But one thing’s for sure, Sony is making big moves in the world of cloud gaming, and we can’t wait to see what they have in store for us next!
That’s all for now, folks! Stay tuned for more tech updates and gaming goodness from yours truly, Nuked.
[Update: Sony has confirmed that this test is indeed the one they announced back in June.]
