PS Plus is getting PS5 cloud streaming and a big library update

Sony has revealed the next batch of games coming to PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra in June, and the highlight is Far Cry 6. Sony also teased that it is starting to test cloud streaming for PS5 games, with plans to add that feature to PlayStation Plus in the future.

Today’s PlayStation Blog announcement also teased a major feature coming to PlayStation Plus Premium in the future. “We’re currently testing cloud streaming for supported PS5 games – this includes PS5 titles from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog and Game Trials, as well as supported digital PS5 titles that players own,” Nick Maguire, SIE Global Services vice president, said. “When this feature launches, cloud game streaming for supported PS5 titles will be available for  use directly on your PS5 console.”

Currently, cloud gaming on PS5 is the primary way to play PS3 titles on the system. While this expansion of cloud gaming on PlayStation does not have a launch window, we’d expect it to become available before the launch of the Project Q cloud gaming handheld teased during the last PlayStation Showcase.

Samsung just slashed the price of this 49-inch OLED G9 gaming monitor by $700
A view of the Samsung Odyssey OLED G9 G95SC that lets you see its curve.

If you need to replace your gaming monitor following an upgrade from gaming PC deals, we highly recommend going for the 49-inch Samsung Odyssey OLED G9. It's originally pretty expensive at $1,800, but a $700 discount from Samsung itself drops its price all the way down to only $1,100. This display will do justice to your new computer's processing power, but you need to hurry if you want to get it for a lower price than usual because there may not be much time left before the savings disappear.

Winter Burrow finds the cozy middle ground between Don’t Starve and Mouse Guard
An owl attacks mice in Winter Burrow.

When it comes to survival crafting games, ambitious 3D sandbox games like Minecraft, Rust, or Valheim are often the first titles to come to mind. That said, I've often found myself just as entertained by the strain of survival and crafting games inspired by Don't Starve. While Klei Entertainment's 2013 indie classic is pretty hardcore, a lot of games inspired by it have been more cozy in nature. I have an enjoyable time relaxing, exploring cute worlds, and crafting items in games like Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story or Cozy Grove.

Now, Pine Creek Games' Winter Burrow will fill the cozy survival-crafting void. At a recent ID@Xbox digital event I attended, Pine Creek CEO and Creative Director Benjamin Salqvist wasn't shy about bringing up survival games like Don't Starve, but emphasized that Winter Burrow will be a less stressful, more laid-back take on that formula.

Moonlighter 2 is a more ambitious sequel to a fantastic indie game
The shop in Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault.

Moonlighter was one of 2018's best indie games. It realized a concept that felt so obvious it was shocking no one had done it that well before: go out and explore dungeons to find loot to sell in a shop players manage. It's a game I'd still highly recommend to fans of 2D action dungeon crawlers, roguelike fans, or shop management game fans to this day, and also one I'm eagerly awaiting a follow-up to.

Developer Digital Sun Games took some time away from Moonlighter to create The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story and Cataclismo. However, the studio confirmed last December that it is making a 3D sequel to Moonlighter. Titled Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault, I recently saw this game in action and asked a developer some questions at an ID@Xbox roundtable.
