The PS5 is reportedly getting an important feature, but this feature is not only locked behind PlayStation Plus, but also behind the most expensive tier of PS4 and PS5 subscription services the PlayStation Plus Premium.

In other words, if you’re a PS Plus Essential subscriber or even a PS Plus Extra subscriber, you’re out of luck, because according to a new report, this new feature only applies to PS Plus Premium, meaning only a fraction of subscribers will be able to enjoy it.

The report comes via Insider Gaming, which reports that PS5 games will soon be available for streaming on PS5 via cloud streaming, but only through the PlayStation Plus Premium service. The feature is reportedly under the project name “Cronus” and has been in the works for months. To that end, it’s no surprise that it’s scheduled to arrive on PS5 on March 8, 2023.

For those who don’t know: The PS Plus is divided into three levels. The base and standard tier, which was PS Plus before it was expanded earlier this year, is called PS Plus Essential, and it gives subscribers a handful of “free” games per month, plus they can play multiplayer games, use cloud saves, and more. The middle tier of the subscription service is PS Plus Extra, which in addition to PS Plus Essential gives you unlimited access to a huge and constantly growing library of PS4 and PS5 games. Then there’s PlayStation Plus Premium, which is PS Plus Extra, but the library of PS4 and PS5 games is bolstered with PS3, PS2, PS1 and PSP games. And it looks like now that and the ability to stream PS5 games.
