In this way, there won’t be a need to modify the hardware of the streaming device, and the player will be not only able to access their preferred movies and television shows but also their preferred video games (through cloud gaming) directly from the user interface of their desired streaming service. In one embodiment, the game streaming logic is configured to receive a compressed stream of the video game, decode the compressed stream of the video game, and provide image data for rendering by the display screen, and receiving user input by the game streaming logic for driving interactivity of the video game while said cloud gaming system executes said video game.”Īccording to the patent, the pass-through device may be connected to a streaming device, like Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV Stick, which can then be used to access the corresponding streaming services, like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. “The method includes receiving a signal that the gaming session is active, from a game streaming logic of the pass-through device. The method includes receiving an indication of selection of the video game, for a gaming session, through a user interface associated with a streaming device that is connected to a display screen via a pass-through device,” the abstract for the patent reads. “Methods and systems are provided for processing video games streamed from a cloud gaming system over a network. The system would allow players to access a library of video games and select the ones they want to play, much like they currently do with movies and television shows on streaming services, except without having to navigate between cloud gaming and streaming services.Įmbodiment of a system that is configured to stream video games from a cloud computing and gaming provider and media content from an entertainment services provided to a user using a streaming device that is connected to a display screen via a pass-through device, in accordance with an implementation of the disclosure. The patent, titled “PASS-THROUGH DEVICE FOR CLOUD GAMING AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING,” outlines a system in which players can access and play video games through a cloud gaming server present on streaming services through a pass-through device that can be integrated with streaming devices like Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV Stick. Only a few days ago, we uncovered a recently published patent from the company that discusses a technology to incorporate a personalised virtual dojo for players to improve their skills based on data retrieved from their gameplay.Įarlier today, we found that the company was awarded yet another patent, this time for a cloud gaming system that could potentially be integrated into streaming services like Netflix and YouTube.

Sony Interactive Entertainment, a division of Sony Corporation that focuses on developing and distributing video game hardware and software and digital entertainment, is undoubtedly one of, if not the most recognised video game and digital entertainment companies out there. The pass-through device may supposedly be connected to any device that supports a streaming device’s connection and has internet access, such as a smart television or mobile device.The pass-through device may also allow many other operations of a cloud gaming system to be performed by the pass-through device itself rather than the streaming device.The system would allow players to access a library of video games and select the ones they want to play, much like they currently do with movies and television shows on streaming services.The patent outlines a system in which players can access and play video games through a cloud gaming server present on streaming services through a pass-through device that can be integrated with streaming devices like Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV Stick.According to a recently published patent, Sony Interactive Entertainment is possibly working on a cloud gaming system that could be integrated into streaming services like Netflix and YouTube.
