PS Now: Sony recommends 5Mbps connection
Sony has stated its recommendation of a 5Mbps internet connection for use with its newly-announced PlayStation Now cloud gaming service.
Revealed at CES on Tuesday, PlayStation Now will stream PS3 games initially (other platforms to follow) to PlayStation devices, Sony Bravia TVs and, in future, other Sony and non-Sony devices.
In response to questioning regarding bandwidth, a Sony has said it recommends users have a 5Mbps connection.
"In our internal tests, users with this bandwidth or greater have been enjoying a low latency, high-quality gaming experience," said the firm.
"PS Now tests your connection of each game and optimizes for quality if you are above the minimum requirements," it added, as we revealed in our PlayStation Now hands-on preview.
"We strive to make the gameplay experience feel as if the game is being played locally on their device - fast and responsive (including for FPS and games with twitch mechanics)," Sony went on.
"The Closed Beta will definitely provide a great opportunity to test the experience with gamers with varying connection speeds and our developers will, of course, be working diligently to optimize the service based upon the feedback we receive from the community."
The closed beta is scheduled to begin later this month. Sony has said nothing of beta applications or the scale of the test.

LuxeLia1492undisclosedAustraliansScizor It's not a giant requirement. However with the PS4 selling so well in the United Kingdom, a small minority of people there will probably have issues with it.
The U.K should have really fast internet speed, my uncle has got a 50M/b per second connection speed, and he says that's not even massive compared to others lawl
Im not too sure about this but I believe that certain areas in the UK have fast speeds for cheap but then there are other areas where there is only one ISP and it has very bad connection speeds.
Good internet is really cheap where I live. =)
Lucky you, mine isn't really cheap but it's reasonable I guess.
My internet is only cheap if you bundle with tv channels also, otherwise its outrageous
Yeah, there is always a bundle with internet, I hate it when they do that Dx

Wavelength I don't know anyone that still gets under 5Mbps internet speed these days.
I'm still getting roughly 5mbps. Haven't upgraded in the 11 years we've lived here. Can't wait til I move out haha.
