Sony's upcoming cloud gaming technology, known as Project Cronos, has recently had some information leaked about it. This leak has provided new insight into what this technology will involve.

 Sony is keeping quiet about Project Q, their first handheld device that is exclusively for Remote Play. Luckily, there has been news about how much power the battery has and there have even been demonstrations of a model that actually works. Reliable informer Tom Henderson, who previously talked about Project Q, now has some fresh details about another Sony project called Project Cronos.

This is said to be the new and improved Sony streaming system designed specifically for the PlayStation 5. The development of Project Cronos started five years ago, but it faced difficulties because of the complicated console's SSD. As a result, they had to completely redesign the technology. Now, it uses PCIe NTB (Non-Transparent Bridge) to link the memory of several systems on the same PCI-e fabric. You can find out more about how it works by visiting Nvidia's website.

Sony's servers, called Kura, can now read data very quickly at 5 GB/s speed with less than 1 millisecond delay. On paper, this should greatly improve the experience of people playing games on the cloud. However, how much it actually improves will probably rely on the internet connection. Project Cronos aims to get more people to use Sony's PlayStation Cloud service when it is released later this year.

Sony will start advertising Project Cronos soon, especially since Samsung is promoting the ability to play Starfield on their smart TVs without needing a console. Sony will probably release Project Cronos at the same time as Project Q. We don't know yet if Project Q can be used to access Sony's game library stored in the cloud.
