Sony’s Cloud Gaming Ambitions: Beta Testing 4K Cloud Gaming on PS5 and What It Means for Gamers
Sony is officially beta-testing 4K cloud gaming for the PS5, showing a strong commitment to exploring and expanding in the cloud gaming space. The public beta tests include options for different resolutions, and players can continue their games with automatic cloud saves. This move comes at a time when Microsoft faces regulatory challenges, adding intrigue to the evolving cloud gaming landscape.
Last year, Sony patented a cloud-streaming device and a browser-based cloud gaming feature, hinting at its interest in this technology. The new PS5 cloud gaming beta tests further solidify Sony’s hopes for the future of gaming. Gamers can now experience options between 720p, 1080p, 1440p, and 2160p (4K) resolutions, with existing cloud-streaming PS5 titles like “God of War Ragnarok,” “Horizon Forbidden West,” “Fortnite,” and more.
Interestingly, Sony’s cloud gaming push coincides with its rival Microsoft’s regulatory hurdles over its $68.7 billion Activision Blizzard acquisition. With Sony getting serious about cloud gaming, the future of this space promises to be an exciting battleground for tech giants.
