The cost of the acquisition has not been disclosed, but it seems pretty obvious as to why the acquisition was made in the first place. Sony recently added PS5 streaming to there PS Plus Premium Service. With this feature, players can enjoy their favourite PS5 games without having to download them on their console. However, to really enjoy this feature, the player must have a high-speed uninterrupted internet connection, and one of the worst things to happen in a stream, is poor quality and poor bitrate.
With iSIZE on board, Sony could bring in some facilities from their end that could make streaming a bit easier for players who do not always have the luxury of a high speed internet connection. This in turn would take the fight to the likes of Nvidia, who have taken a bit of a head start in this aspect, thanks to DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling)m which improves streaming quality and bitrate with minimal performance cost.
