Apple has always been aware of Sony’s intentions, although it hasn’t said anything so far.
Just a few days ago, correspondence emerged that Microsoft had attempted to negotiate with Apple to launch exclusive Xbox games in the App Store. Now, PlayStation is coming to make the news in a fairly similar case. Sony is planning to bring its PlayStation Now games to mobile devices, starting with Apple’s, according to a new report.
The news was reported by The Verge, who obtained it by an official document revealed during the legal fight between Apple and Epic Games. This confidential document reveals Sony’s intentions to bring its cloud gaming service, known as PlayStation Now, to iOS and Android devices around the world.
Of course, this is not something new. The origin of the document seems to date back to 2017, at that time we could use PlayStation Now from PS3, PS Vita, smart TVs and many more. However, PlayStation Now is currently only available to PS5, PS4, and PC users.
Apple knew Sony’s intentions from the start
PlayStation Now would hit the mobile market
In addition, the publication The Verge also reports that Apple has always been aware of Sony’s intentions to bring the PlayStation Now service. to your devices. Why did you know? Below, we leave you a translated excerpt from the report:
Why did Apple bring up this topic? He’s right in the middle of an explanation for Apple’s plan to launch its own game subscription service, Apple Arcade, which won’t be announced until two years later. At the time, Apple was about to turn to 30 of the biggest game studios and ask for up to “a few hundred titles” to add.
It’s unclear why Sony decided to stop extending PlayStation Now to mobile devices. The service would have been the first to reach this market, given that the year it was launched –2014– there was still no preview of Xbox Cloud Gaming or Cupertino’s own service, Apple Arcade. For this reason, it is highly likely that the Japanese company would have been successful in its business. Now we’ll never know.
PS Now currently has a large catalog of titles, from PS2 games to those of the legendary PS3 and landing on those of PS4. All of these can be played by PC, PS4 and PS5 users. On the other hand, the company also has a service called Remote Play, which allows us to play console titles on our mobile devices, although you will need a PlayStation console to be able to run them.
Right now, it looks like Sony is planning a renewal of its PS Now service. According to reports and rumors, the company is working on the “Spartacus project“, and this would bring integration between PS Plus subscriptions and the cloud gaming service. would officially bring the PS1 and PS5 titles to your service. It looks very promising!
