A confidential document shows that Sony was about to launch its cloud gaming service on mobile phones.
It was the biggest expansion of the PS Now game service in years. The service originally streamed PS2 and PS3 games to smart TVs, but cut off all of those original platforms in late 2017, in favor of the PS4 and Windows PC. It hasn't been offered on all of the platforms it's been offered on.
According to a confidential document unearthed from the Apple trial, Apple had knowledge of Sony's upcoming launch. Apple heard about a mobile extension of an existing streaming service for PS3 users that would allow them to play over 450 PS3 games.
The presentation notes that the service is only PS3 games right now, suggesting that Apple got tipped off about more than just the move to mobile.

Why did Apple bring this up? It is in the middle of an explanation of Apple's plans to launch its own game subscription service, Apple Arcade, which wouldn't be announced until two years later. Apple was planning to target 30 top game studios and ask for as many as a few hundred titles to add.

I wrote about how Sony missed out on the opportunity to be a leader in cloud gaming, despite being the first major company to recognize its potential, buying both of the early startups that proved out the idea. There is an intriguing possibility that Sony isn't giving up yet despite Apple's resistance to cloud gaming on the App Store. The cloud gaming service would be bundled with a PS Plus subscription, which would include original PS1 games and eventually PS5 games, according to a report.
However, the scoop from Schreier doesn't mention mobile phones at all.
It is possible that Sony read the room and decided that it was not worth fighting Apple the way they did for mobile access. You can stream a new PS5 to your old PS4.
Sony wouldn't speak to The Verge.
