CTOnews.com, April 12 (Xinhua)-- Google's Stadia cloud gaming platform has announced that it has stopped operation, and Sony seems to be paying attention to the cloud gaming business again. According to The Verge, despite recent layoffs, Sony is currently looking for 22 positions related to cloud gaming technology, one of which is to "develop and implement a strategic vision for PlayStation's cloud gaming streaming."

"are you an innovator in cloud streaming media products? then you may also think that cloud games are becoming an important part of the gaming industry." Sony wrote when it hired a director of product management for cloud games. Sony is also recruiting five senior platform engineers, three software engineers, two technical project managers and at least one technical writer, four reliability engineers (and one manager), an additional development operations engineer, a junior network engineer, a senior business intelligence analyst, a security architect and a network capacity planner Many of them will report to the company's Future Technology Department (Future Technology Group).

These job postings all begin with the following:

As a member of Sony Interactive Entertainment Future Technology (FTG), you will have the opportunity to lead the trend in the cloud gaming revolution. FTG is committed to bringing host-quality video games to any device.

According to CTOnews.com, Sony also hired a hardware engineering director to promote "vision, research and development of SIE custom server, rack design and high-speed network technology". Sony is also looking for a chief hardware architect in 2021 to "shape the future for PlayStation's cloud gaming and machine learning combinable data center infrastructure" and a cloud gaming system architect.

Obviously, cloud games are very important to Sony, and Sony is actively applying for patents related to cloud game technology. PS5 and PS4 developer Mark Cerny have now signed a series of 2022 or even 2023 patent applications for cloud games, and the company has applied for dozens of patents and patent extensions directly related to the technology.

It is worth mentioning that recently there are rumors that Sony will launch a new PlayStation handset, Q Lite, which supports cloud games. The shape of the handset will be similar to the handle of the PS5, but the main part is equipped with an 8-inch LCD touch screen, but it is not possible to confirm the authenticity of the message.
