Sadly missing the console’s “Holiday 2013” launch window, game streaming will be provided by Gaikai, giving access to plenty of “critically acclaimed” PS3 and PS4 games. It’s a particularly important service, seeing as the PlayStation 4 won’t be backwards compatible with PS3 discs.

Vita games will also be available for streaming, though that feature too is expected to land a little further down the line again.

It is not yet clear whether the streaming launch in early 2014 will be global, or just for select territories.

  • Cant wait for gaikai, I can see my self using gaikai on android, ps3 and ps4. I hope it will also be optimized for 3G and Not Just 10-50 MBPS Speeds. Wow If this is so I wonder how it would be for PS5 Games, Probably wont even need a console just a good smart phone with Bluetooth and whatever the latest generation of mobile telecommunications technology.
