An Apple document evokes the PS Now of Sony on iOS and Android
Le PlayStation Now était en préparation pour faire ses débuts sur iOS et sur Android, comme l’a révélé un document interne d’Apple qui a été relayé lors du procès avec Epic Games et qui a été récemment déniché par The Verge.
PS Now should have arrived on mobile
Apple did not mention the PlayStation Now by its name, but its description is no doubt.The document speaks of a "mobile extension of an existing streaming service for PlayStation users, giving access to more than 450 PS3 games to start, then to PS4 games".This is exactly what the service corresponds.
The document dates from 2017.It is very possible that Apple was referring to it internally while he was preparing Apple Arcade.The latter costs € 4.99/month and allows you to play a lot of games.However, they must be downloaded, playing in streaming is not possible.Apple Arcade was born in 2019.
To date, the PlayStation Now allows you to play PS2, PS3 and PS4 games on PS4, PS5 and Windows PCs.On the other hand, there is no availability neither on iOS nor on Android.There is also no availability for people who have a mac.
The exact reason behind the abandonment of the service for iOS and Android is not communicated.But it is possible that Sony did not want to confront Apple with its drastic rules at the level of the App Store for the Cloud Gaming.
Latest news, Sony is preparing Spartacus, a competitor of the Xbox Game Pass.The idea would be to merge the PlayStation Now and the PlayStation more.It is currently not specified if this offer will be available on mobile.But if this is the case, then Sony will probably have to do how Microsoft (XCloud) and Google (Stadia) via Safari to avoid the rules of the App Store.
