Now, before you go any further, let’s remind you, that PS Now is already a cloud streaming service that is available for PS users, so while there is already a cloud service, PS Now isn’t exactly the best one out there, and while Sony is constantly trying to improve it, it’s still not working at its 100%.
The rumor territory starts now because there were reports that next-generation consoles might focus much more on Cloud streaming and gaming in general, and while there isn’t any solid evidence to really support that, this new listing could suggest that PS5 could run entirely or have better cloud support, allowing multiple-device streaming without any issues and more.
Make sure you read about Cyberpunk 2077’s release date speculation as well.
