PlayStation will officially launch its cloud streaming service for PS5 games in South Korea on the 28th. PlayStation Plus Premium members will be able to stream over 300 supported games included in the Game Catalog on PS5 consoles and PlayStation Portal.
Ahead of the service launch, the PlayStation Plus Deluxe plan will change to Premium starting on the 21st, and existing Deluxe members will be automatically converted to Premium members. Cloud streaming will be added to existing benefits such as Monthly Games, online multiplayer, and cloud storage.
Supported streaming specifications vary by device. The PS5 console supports up to 4K (2160p) at 60Hz in SDR or HDR environments. Supported games in the library can be played without downloading, and supported PS5 games included in PlayStation Plus Game Trials can also be streamed.
PlayStation Portal streams supported games at up to 1080p at 60fps without being connected to a PS5 console. In a stable high-speed Wi-Fi environment, users can play even if the PS5 console is turned off or being used by another family member.
Supported titles in the Game Catalog include Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima, FINAL FANTASY XVI, and Hogwarts Legacy. Users can also stream thousands of supported digital PS5 games they own without downloading. This includes Crimson Desert, Grand Theft Auto V, Ghost of Yōtei, Neverness to Everness, Zenless Zone Zero, and eFootball.
In South Korea, the scope of supported services is limited to digital PS5 games. PS4 and PS3 games are not supported, and PS VR2 games are also excluded.
To celebrate the launch in South Korea, a Korea-exclusive set of 10 Black Desert PlayStation Plus avatars will also be distributed. The download period runs from the 21st until March 31, 2027. Details and FAQs regarding the service can be found in the Korean post on the PlayStation Blog.
