@BokiLee, resolves YES
The PlayStation brand is operated by Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC, who announced in November that they are acquiring iSIZE:
We are thrilled to announce that Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC (“SIE”) has entered into an agreement to acquire iSIZE, a UK-based company specializing in deep learning for video delivery. iSIZE builds AI-powered solutions to deliver bitrate savings and quality improvements for the media and entertainment industry. The acquisition provides SIE with significant expertise in applying machine learning to video processing, which will benefit a range of our R&D efforts as well as our video and streaming services.
It is thought that this may be used for cloud gaming ( as well as PlayStation video streaming generally):
Based on what I've seen, iSIZE's bitrate-saving technology could be used to optimize PlayStation cloud game streaming across all devices, including PC, PlayStation consoles, and potentially even mobile. Right now, Sony does not have a game streaming solution for mobile devices, but that could change soon thanks in part to iSIZE's tech. Bitrate is important for cloud gaming as it determines the overall quality of the content that is being streamed, so the benefits here should significantly affect PS Plus game streaming alongside Sony's other video content services.
Earlier this year, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan (who is leaving in March 2024) said that the company was planning "aggressive and interesting" expansion into cloud gaming.
Even if it turns out it's not for gaming, PlayStation's video streaming services are under the PlayStation brand:

(making these points just to argue that that this is "PlayStation"-related still, since the question referred to PlayStation rather than Sony Interactive Entertainment. And whilst I think these should be interpreted as equivalent since the former is a brand and the latter is the company that operates the brand, just in case one wants to only include acquisitions that are relevant to the PlayStation brand, I think it's still clear that this one is)
