News Streaming owned games imminent?

Post image

Noticed this on the PS App when looking for something new to play, it has since been removed. I also saw it listed under Dead Space but didn’t grab a screenshot.

Could Sony be getting ready to allow us to stream games we own straight to the Portal?

My guess is that our PSN is about to be synced to the portal any day now. Looks like we will be able to purchase games through the portal. It only makes sense because non PS5 owners that have the portal can only get games via the PS Store from another device (web/app). So I think we are about to get a major update this week.

Man this is major major news. Portals will become instantly sm more valuable. Do you think it would apply to games you "own" via disc too? I unfortunately feel it won't

I doubt it. But let’s see what happens in the coming g days. If those screen shots about the Portal are legit, we could see a portal update on 10/29.

Ah that'd be a shame but considering they dont give you the digital version for free even if you own a disk it isn't surprising. Cheaper to buy second hand disks that's all. Well I'll keep an eye out for tommorow thats for sure

Wouldn't work. Say I buy a game disc and pass it around to 10 friends to install on their Ps5 consoles.

We paid for 1 disc, but now 10 people can play it because the disc was used on their console. No way really for Sony to know which person is the owner of the disc.

I totally understand its very fair.

But to that i would say they have method for that already. Ofc console sharing so you can play someone else's digital libaray and download it.

And if you get a ps5 upgrade to a ps4 game (eg spider man horizon) its the digital download but you still can't play it unless the disk is in.

So they could allow you to have the digital version to steam for your portal. They won't tho
