Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

I don't really understand this. It's like streaming PS5 games but exclusively from a PS5? If you're internet is good enough for streaming, why wouldn't you just download? Seems like such a niche thing. Always better to have the option than not, just seems like a strange addition.
Probably testing and prepping for that Q handheld thing. No way they make that for remote play only.
It's running Android and they don't have a streaming app for Android. I guess they could make an exclusive app for it, but seems like a lot of work for a super tiny audience.
I guess it enables quick game demos? If a mildly interesting game is 80 GB, or the devs want to let people try it before they buy it but don’t want to code a demo, there’s a few options there.
Still, you’re right, not a big use case. Xbox has an advantage due to controller simplicity. I’m pretty sure you can play Game Pass games using a DualShock, even on a web browser.
