[BLOG] Sony bringing PS Now to PC

About a decade has passed since Sony released the third Playstation, and now Sony are looking to bring some of its best titles to PC officially.



Sony have announced that they are planning to release a PC- compatible version of their cloud gaming service, Playstation Now. Playstation Now already bosts a sizeable game library from Playstation's past, with around 400 of them being from the PS3 and Sony have said that the PC-compatible version is due a release in the UK, as well as the US and Canada. All that will be needed is a PC, a decent broadband connection and, of course, a subscription to Playstation Now to get access to the back catalogue on offer. The program will be available for download from http://www.psnow.com.



As for gamepads, you will of course need to be using the Sony Dualshock 4 for your gaming. You can choose to use a USB cable, or if you'd rather something wireless, Sony have said that they'll be offering a DualShock 4 USB Wireless Adaptor in September for around $24.99 - one that supports both PC and Mac which hints that Sony might be considering the move of bringing the service to Mac users as well in the future. For the moment Sony is recommending the use of Remote Play, an app that allows for the streaming of content from Playstaion 4's to PCs, Macs, Playstation TV, Xperia smartphones and tablets.



PS Now was launched back in May 2015 as Sony's answer to Microsoft's Xbox One actually being able to support games from the Xbox 360 natively via emulation. Playstation Now allows for select smart TVs, Playstation 3, 4 and the Vita to play many PS3 games for a monthly subscription fee of $19.99.
