Sony Testing 4K Cloud Streaming PS5 Games in Latest Beta

Sony has been hush-hush about its cloud gaming plans amidst the recent Microsoft X Activision drama. The company stated back in June that it would expand into cloud gaming at a certain point but it didn’t actually confirm any details.

This was most likely to avoid attention as the Microsoft trial was mainly focused on the company’s impact on cloud gaming should the acquisition go through. It seems that Sony was a bit more ready than the company come across as cloud gaming is now live on PS5 in the latest software beta.

Users currently testing out the new PS5 system software (the one with the Dolby Atmos support) spotted a whole new tab on the PS5 under the PlayStation Plus section which lets them launch cloud gaming. After this was spotted online, users then began receiving emails inviting them to test the beta as well as mentioning the cloud gaming test.

According to early impressions, users can choose between 720p, 1080p, 1440p and 2160p (4K). Sony has also merged these cloud games with your uploaded saves. This means when you launch a cloud-based game, your save is automatically loaded at the same time.
