1. To start off, we recommend checking the server status of the PlayStation Network. You can do so with this link.

If PSN is down, then there isn’t anything you can do except to wait for the servers to go back up again to be able to stream PS3 games on your PS5.

If you want to check the download and upload internet connection speeds on your PS5, then you need to go to the Settings menu of your console and then head to Network. Afterwards, you need to select Connection Status and then Test Internet Connection.

To be able to stream PS3 games without any loading issues on your PlayStation 5, you will need at least 5 Mbps in both download and upload speeds.

In this case, you can restart the game, without having to exit the current stream, by taking the following steps:

• Begin by opening the quick menu by pressing the PS button on your controller.
• In the quick menu, select the Now Streaming card in order to expand it.
• From the expanded Now Streaming card menu, you then need to select Show/Hide PS3 Menu.
• Inside the new menu, select Saved Data Utility (PS3) and then Yes to close the game.

Therefore, you may want to try streaming the game again at a less busy time to see if having less server load will lead to less loading problems.

If you have a PlayStation Plus Premium subscription, then you are able to stream select PS1, PS2, PSP, PS3 and PS4 games on your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console.

When streaming, you may encounter the following error message:

When playing a PS3 over the cloud, you may experience bad image quality, low details, low resolution and visual artifacts.

To see how you can improve the picture quality when streaming a PlayStation 3 game on your PS5 console, you can take a look at this article from Seeking Tech.

1. If you haven’t done so already, we recommend using a wired LAN cable to connect your PlayStation 5 to the internet. This is because using wired provides a faster and more stable connection.

• In the home menu, hover over to the game you are currently streaming.
• Press the options button on the DualSense.
• From the pop-up menu, select the Close Game option.

5. If the cloud streaming servers are busy, then it may cause poor image quality.

In this case, you can try streaming at a different time of the day, if possible, to see if you can get better visuals when there is less traffic.

6. It is also important to note that the PS3 games you are streaming are running on PlayStation 3 hardware.

As a result, the resolution will be low as 1080p at the maximum. Some games target 720p or even less.

7. Furthermore, games tend to look worse when being streamed as opposed to being played natively on local hardware.

If you want the best experience, then you need to play the PlayStation 3 game on a PS3 console.
