PlayStation has begun rolling out a beta version of cloud streaming that includes 4K resolution support for select PS Plus Premium beta users. This comes after the company announced in June this year that it would begin testing cloud streaming for supported PS5 games.

This means that players in supported regions will soon be able to stream certain games and trial versions of games without having to download anything.

As spotted by The Verge , ArashiGames, which was among the first to share the screenshots, said that users invited to try cloud streaming will be able to choose between 720p, 1080p, 1440p and 2160p resolutions.

In contrast, PlayStation’s competitor Microsoft Xbox only supports streaming in 1080p Full HD resolution.

Also, the user said that when you decide to play the cloud version of the game, the system will automatically download my cloud save, allowing you to continue playing from where you left off.

Some of the currently supported games include Sony’s PlayStation Studios titles such as God of War: Ragnarök, Returnal, Demon’s Souls, Horizon Forbidden West, Death Stranding, Sackboy A Big Adventure, and third-party games such as Fortnite.

Reddit users have also posted screenshots of PlayStation emails. A Reddit user posted a screenshot saying, “We’re excited to announce PS5 cloud streaming and your help in testing it means a lot to us.”

Sony’s upcoming handheld – the PlayStation Project Q is meant to stream games, but only those stored on the user’s PlayStation via Remote Play. However, this does not rule out the possibility that it will be able to play cloud-based games. Therefore – in theory – Project Q could support both cloud and local remote streaming.

It’s unclear if cloud streaming will be available in India, as the region is excluded from cloud-based streaming of PS3 games offered on PlayStation Premium – which is why the service is called PS Plus Deluxe in India and some other regions. where PS3 game streaming is not supported.
