Exciting New PS Plus Premium Feature Coming Soon

PS5 cloud streaming will soon be available for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers with an upcoming update. Sony recently announced the games coming to PS Plus in June and has now shared details about this update, which could be a game-changer for PS5 gamers looking to participate in cloud streaming. PS Plus, Sony's official subscription service, has undergone significant changes since its initial release in 2010, but remains a popular choice for PlayStation owners seeking online play and free monthly games. The service offers three tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium, with the latter allowing players to stream games from previous platforms directly to their console via the cloud. In a recent study conducted by Circana, games subscription spending growth increased by only 2% in the past year, prompting companies like Sony and Microsoft to focus on adding more features and better games to attract more gamers to their services.

PlayStation has exciting news for its PS Plus Premium subscribers. The company is currently testing a new feature that will allow cloud streaming for PS5 games. This feature has been highly anticipated by PlayStation fans as subscribers can already stream games from PS3, PS4, and previous platforms. The ability to stream current-gen games will bring PlayStation up to par with Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass, which has been offering this functionality for quite some time.

It remains unclear when the PS Plus update will be implemented, as Sony has stated that this feature is still in its early stages. However, with Sony's existing cloud streaming infrastructure, it is likely that the rollout will not take too long. In addition to this new functionality, PlayStation is introducing a variety of games to its PS Plus Extra and Premium tiers in June. These games include the highly anticipated day one release of Rogue Legacy 2, as well as other popular titles such as Far Cry 6, Inscryption, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, A Hat in Time, Thief, Elex 2, Vampire: The Masquerade – Coteries of New York, and Tacoma. Of note, Rogue Legacy 2 is a critically acclaimed platformer roguelite that allows players to explore an ancient castle using multiple generations of the same family. Previously, this game was only available to PC, Switch, and Xbox players.
