Sony starts testing cloud streaming PS5 games
Sony’s PlayStation handheld will probably support PS5 cloud streaming eventually.
I feel like it's hard enough to stream PS1-PS3 games without some crazy lag, depending on where you are and how things are. I can't imagine how choppy and insane it's gonna be to do a PS5 game, not to mention the bandwidth it would take has to be insane, right?
i am a bit of a luddite though, so I don't understand it very well. It just seems crazy to me
Whether you're streaming a ps5 game or a ps1 game, it isn't going to drastically change the bandwidth necessary for a good experience. More than anything latency is what you want to keep down for a good experience and that has little to do with bandwidth.
Sure, if they open the streams up to 4k then bandwidth will be more of a concern, but considering remote play is capped at 1080p when streaming locally from your own ps5 I don't see that happening in the near term. Of course this is considering you live somewhere in the US that you can at least get a decent cable (or the fiber dream) internet connection, so YMMV.
@evilviper oh man you know way, way more about this than I do. do you have anything you'd recommend me reading so I could educate myself??i guess I just don't understand how a small PS1 game and a massive PS5 game could stream with the same quality, given the drastic difference in the games.
thank you!!
Just think of it as if you are playing a streaming video, because that is essentially what you are doing. If you were streaming a 1080p video at a constant bitrate, it wouldn’t matter if it was a ps3, ps5, upscaled nes or the latest episode of Black Mirror. The resolution being sent, bitrate and ping are all that matters.
