Sony has announced a launch date for a new feature that will allow PlayStation Plus Premium members to stream PS5 games, just like they've been able to do with PS3 and PS4 games for a while.
The streaming service will roll out first in Japan on October 17, then in supported European countries (the full list is in Sony's blog post) on October 23, and finally in North America on October 30.
Not all games will be supported, but it sounds like quite a few will. Sony platform experience executive Hideaki Nishino writes in a blog post that streaming will be available "for supported PS5 digital titles within the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog and Game Trials, as well as supported titles in the PS5 game library that PlayStation Plus Premium members own."
