300-Plus PS5 Games Stream in South Korea October 28, Officially a Huge PlayStation Plus Subscribers Upgrade

Cloud streaming arrives in Korea

The new service will let eligible subscribers stream supported PS5 games through their consoles or a PlayStation Portal. PlayStation says more than 300 Game Catalog titles will be available.

The rollout of upgrades for Extra subscribers began October 21. A PlayStation blog post says existing Deluxe members will automatically receive Premium at no additional cost; the article also says Extra members will be upgraded, though it does not explain the tier naming difference.

Games and streaming quality

Catalog selections include Cyberpunk 2077, Horizon Forbidden West, Ghost of Tsushima, Final Fantasy 15 and Hogwarts Legacy. Subscribers can also stream some games they own without downloading them first, including Crimson Desert, Grand Theft Auto 5 and Ghost of Yōtei. PS5 supports streaming at 4K, while PlayStation Portal supports 1080p at 60 frames per second without requiring a PS5 console connection, according to the article.

Launch limits and promotion

At launch, cloud streaming in South Korea will not support PS4 or PS3 games. PlayStation has not said whether or when those titles might be added, and PSVR 2 games were not mentioned.

A set of 10 Black Desert PlayStation Plus avatars, exclusive to Korea, was released to mark the launch. The avatars will remain available through March 31, 2027.

Interest beyond South Korea

Subscribers elsewhere may hope the service expands to other regions, including Australia, where the article says cloud streaming is not supported. Availability may depend on whether local cloud data-center infrastructure can support PlayStation’s streaming services.
