Sony has begun a public beta test of its PS5 cloud gaming service, which allows players to stream PS5 games to a PS5 console at up to 4K resolution. The beta is currently available to a limited number of users in the United States and Europe.
To participate in the beta, users must sign up for a PlayStation Plus subscription and have a PS5 console with a fast internet connection. Once they have been accepted into the beta, they can download the PlayStation Plus Premium app and start streaming games.
The PS5 cloud gaming service offers a library of over 400 games, including both PS4 and PS5 titles. Games can be streamed in either 1080p or 4K resolution, depending on the user’s internet connection.
Anyone else get invited to try the new #PS5 game cloud streaming preview / beta?

Sony has said that it plans to expand the PS5 cloud gaming service to more countries in the coming months. The company has also said that it is working on adding more features to the service, such as support for ray tracing and VR.
The PS5 cloud gaming service is still in beta, so there are some potential drawbacks to consider. For example, the service may not be available in all countries, and the streaming quality may not be perfect for everyone. However, Sony is likely to improve the service over time, and it has the potential to be a major success.
