OnLive, the California-based provider of cloud gaming, has announced that it’s service will be closing this month. As a result, Sony has been able to strengthen it’s own cloud gaming service by purchasing OnLive’s patent portfolio, making it the company’s second cloud-gaming acquisition since Gaikai in 2012.
In an interview with MCV, Shuhei Yoshida, President of Sony Worldwide Studios, has said that the company is looking at “what OnLive is doing” and “how this can be a part of PlayStation.” He also mentioned that Sony already implements some basic cloud technology with the Remote Play feature on the PS3, PSP and PS Vita.
