Until now, PS5 players who wanted to take advantage of cloud gaming had to be tricky: search for compatible games on forums, compile incomplete lists themselves, or test blindly. A headache that took time and often generated frustration. This era is finally coming to an end.
Since November 6, Sony has made available a dedicated page which lists 159 PS5 games playable in streaming via the cloudaccessible as well on PS5 console that via the PlayStation Portal. An important step forward for users of the Premium service, but also for all those curious about Sony’s home cloud gaming.
A practical, filterable and updated web page
The main advantage of this official list lies in its clarity and flexibility. Sony has designed a well-thought-out navigation tool that allows games to be sorted by:
- Gender
- Age classification
- Type of game
- Alphabetical order
- Release date
Players can also use a built-in search engine to directly check if a game is available for cloud streaming. A real time saver, especially for those who use the PS Portalthe recently launched portable console designed for remote gaming.
This initiative responds to strong demand from the community. Indeed, Sony does not systematically communicate on the addition of games to the cloud, which made the community lists quickly outdated. By centralizing information on an official page, the Japanese firm ensures that players always have the most up-to-date version of the catalog.
One more step towards a clearer cloud ecosystem
This transparency movement is part of Sony’s broader desire to accelerate on the game streamingan area where Microsoft has so far taken a head start with its Xbox Cloud Gaming. By providing a clear cloud catalog, Sony seeks to convince its users that theCloud-native experience on PS5 is now ready.
This change could also encourage more players to try the service, which is often underused due to lack of visibility. With this list, subscribers can plan their cloud sessions more easily, explore games they wouldn’t have thought of, or test a title without downloading it.
The PS Portal, for its part, is gaining in relevance. This auxiliary console, designed for remote play, depends closely on the quality of the cloud experience. Being able to access a reliable, vast and up-to-date library is an essential condition for attracting the most demanding players.
A solid foundation that calls for evolution
It remains to be seen whether Sony will maintain a regular pace of updating this list, and whether new titles will expand the offering in the months to come. The current interface is functional, but could still improve in readability on mobile. It also does not include user reviews or cross-recommendations, which could have enriched the experience.
But for now, the essential thing is there: a reliable, official, and public basiswhich all players can consult at any time. A small revolution in the PlayStation ecosystem, and a real step forward in democratizing the use of the cloud on console.
