Cons:

  • Performance Issues: While Antstream generally performs well, some games may experience lag or frame rate drops, depending on your internet connection.
  • Subscription Model: Antstream operates on a subscription model, which may not suit everyone, especially those who only want to play a few games occasionally.

Overall:

Antstream Arcade on PS5 is a solid offering for retro gaming enthusiasts. Its vast library and streaming convenience make it a tempting proposition. However, performance issues and limited customization can be drawbacks for some.
