Editor’s note: It is important to remember that this article was written by an author who lives in the United States, ranked 7th in the world on the international internet speed rankings list. It should not, therefore, be considered a green light for Australian remote play devotees. Down here, we are still ranked 86th.
Though we can certainly get it to work, it is very unlikely that you will have as nice a time as Moises did. — David. I used to consider myself a certifiable cloud hater.
I’ve never enjoyed my experiences trying to engage with cloud gaming, which allows players to stream their console games to PCs, smartphones, and dedicated handhelds , as well as adjacent remote play technology. In my limited experience, it was always too laggy, made the games look ugly as shit, and needed far too potent a signal to work even passably well. However, I went away this past weekend and didn’t want to lug around either of my consoles, so I gave it an earnest shot again and I must say, I’m pleasantly surprised with how far cloud and remote gaming’s come.
My biggest motivating factor for giving these alternatives another shot is that I simply did not want to be away from my PS5, which has Elden Ring : Shadow of the Erdtree currently installed on it. Despite starting the DLC prior to my trip, my attention’s been pulled in a million different directions and I’ve not been able to commit the time I wish I could give it. So I made it a point this weekend to try out my PS5.
