What it is

Ploud rents a dedicated physical PlayStation 5 by the hour, hosted in France, for playing games you already own through your PlayStation Network account. It does not provide a game library. Your assigned console remains the same between sessions, with 200 GB of reserved storage retained. Streaming is specified at 1080p and 60 fps with HDR10, with 60 to 100 ms latency. Ploud requires 25 Mbit/s download bandwidth and recommends 40 Mbit/s; its browser test measures round-trip time, jitter, and download speed. Safari or Chrome works on macOS 13 and later, while Chrome or Edge works on Windows 10 and 11 without installing software. Google TV and Android TV 10+ connect through the free Moonlight app. DualSense supports Bluetooth or USB. Ploud states that WebRTC transport uses DTLS-SRTP encryption. The service has not opened and plans an invitation launch for its waiting list. Plans are Discovery at €3.97 a month, Campaign at €3.10 a month, and Complete at €2.68 a month; a 30-minute free trial is listed without a price.

Who it suits
