Engadget Logo Engjet Japanese version Sony revealed that he was planning to provide "PlayStation Now" for iPhone

Microsoft was named Apple and tried to distribute Xbox exclusive games on the App Store, but it was just reported that it failed.Following that, it became clear that Sony was planning to distribute the game streaming service "PlayStation Now" for iOS and Android devices.

This is also the same as the MS above, and it is clear from the confidential documents submitted as evidence in the Apple vs Epic lawsuit.The material submitted by the Apple says that Sony is planning to "Mobile extension of existing PlayStation users, streaming access to 450 or more PS3 games, added PS4 games".is.

The date of the material excavated by The Verge was in 2017, and at that time PS NOW was available on PS3, PS Vita, PlayStation TV, TV bravia, and BD players.However, in February of the same year, Sony suddenly cut off all of these platforms, and now only the PS4 and Windows PCs.

Why did Apple take this story in court?It is a context that explains that the company's flat -rate service, Apple Arcade, was planning to launch.Speaking of 2017, Apple Arcade was announced two years ago, but at that time Apple was preparing to request the addition of "Hundreds of Titles" to 30 top game studios.In the exchange, Sony seems to have informed Apple the company's PS Now expansion plan.

Until now (end of 2021), PS Now was not provided by iPhone or Android smartphone, and it seems that Sony's plan did not work.It is earlier that MS failed to bring the Xbox cloud gaming app and Xbox exclusive game to the App Store, and Sony may have been rejected by Apple.

It is rumored that Sony is currently planning PS Now "with the right to use PS Plus, and is planning" Project Spartacus ", which provides the first PS1 to PS4 titles and eventually provide PS5 games.This project is estimated to be an Xbox game path, and may be imagining a Museum, a contrast that caused a rebellion during the Republican Roman period.

If this plan is realized and targeted for mobile devices from other companies, will you aim to distribute apps on the App Store again, or will it be provided via a web browser like MS?I want to wait for the future report.
