If you ask me, the fact that it requires a PS5 makes it a non starter. I was really hoping for a standalone handheld, maybe not as powerful as the PS5, but something to compete with the Switch and Steam Deck. Like the PSP was a less powerful PS2 but still a standalone handheld providing a console like experience. Or even a phone handheld, the N-Gage was ahead of its time!

I haven't done it to a PS4, so I can't speak for that streaming setup.

But for Windows, I just run an app, link it to my account, and then I can stream PS5 games on my PC. The experience wasn't great, though. The resolution seemed low/fuzzy, and the audio came out of both my TV (which turns on with my PS5 automatically) and my PC speakers, which wasn't great.

When I tried playing on my PS VR headset, my TV kept coming back on repeatedly, even if I turned it off, so I expect streaming will do the same thing, though I haven't tried it much yet.

Streaming my PC games to another PC is a lot better, especially with Parsec. Sony has a lot to catch up on here, IMO.
