PlayStation 4 games will be playable on PC
Sony has announced that users of its service, PlayStation Now, will be able to play PlayStation 4 titles on all platforms which support the service.
Sony also boasted about how the service now feature 500 titles across two console generations. Even though the starting library is small relating to PS4 games, Sony will continue to add more games to PlayStation Now as they go along. From today, you will be able to play the following games.
I’m excited to announce that as of today, the PlayStation Now library includes PS4 games! This lineup is just the start, as we’ll add more PS4 games in the coming months alongside our regular monthly content drops.
On top of that, PS Now’s library has now ticked to over 500 games. That’s a massive range of games to explore and play, all with one subscription, the push of a button, play on your PS4 or Windows PC. With PlayStation exclusives like Killzone Shadow Fall and The Last of US, hit blockbusters such as Red Dead Redemption and Batman Arkham City, indie games like Journey and Broken Age, and many more, the PS Now library really has something for everyone.
Now is the perfect time to try PS Now, or upgrade your existing subscription. By popular demand we are bringing back our $9.99 intro offer for the first month (new subscribers only), and the 1-year subscription for $99.99. That’s less than $9 a month for a full year of on-demand access to an ever-expanding library of PS4 and PS3 games to stream any time you want. Start streaming today because this offer is only available until September 22, 2017.
Here is the full list of all of the new PS4 games available as of today on PlayStation Now. We’ve got a variety of genres, from FPS, action adventure, RTS, fighting, racing, and more.
- Killzone Shadow Fall
- God of War 3 Remastered
- Saints Row IV: Re-Elected

We already have 100 publishers in the service, with plenty more great PS4 and PS3 content coming this year and next from SIE and other top publishers such as 2K, Aksys, Capcom, Codemasters, Deep Silver, Double Fine, Kalypso, Loot Interactive, MESSHOF, Metalhead, NIS America, Ripstone, SNK, THQ Nordic, XSEED, Zen Studios, and more.
Regardless of the platform, PlayStation Now is all about great games. Some of the best games ever released were on PS3, many of which are available on PS Now. Here are the top most popular 20 PS3 games on the service so far this year.
- Red Dead Redemption

Streaming games via PS Now allows you to access other cool PlayStation features. Unlock both PS3 and PS4 trophies, send and receive multiplayer invites (PlayStation Plus not required for online multiplayer within PS Now), and your gameplay status updates will be seen by your friend list. You can also copy your PS4 save files back and forth between your PS Plus cloud storage (PS Plus subscription required) and the PS Now cloud save storage. That way, you can continue your game where you left off if you end up buying it later, or want to finish playing a game on PS Now with your own save file.
If you haven’t given the service a try yet, now’s the perfect time to give it a spin with the seven-day free trial on PlayStation 4 and Windows PC. Note that in order to take advantage of the $9.99 intro offer, you will need to purchase that directly, as the 7-day trial will transition into the standard monthly subscription.

Yeah, I don't know a single person who uses a streaming gaming service. There must be some obviously, just not round my way.
lmimmfn, same reason im still holding onto my PS3, I'm one of the very few who hasn't really played MGS4 and nothing heard about any "HD remaster" so likely going to give in soon, plus the actual game only cost £2 so why stream.
It also gets used as Netflix/Amazon box as I don't have a SmartTV yet.

There were stories out of folks at OnLive that they never had any business. I think one of them said they never had more than 2000 users online at the same time. The owner had planned to spin that up, build some hype, then sell it while it was still in the proof of concept phase, but no one bit. They weren't making any money, so they had to fold up shop.
On another gaming board I'm on, we had a big thread with about 50 members chime in. About 15 of us tried PSNow, a couple folks said they had tried OnLive in the past, and one guy gave GeForce Now a shot. No one had an experience that was responsive enough to replace a console or PC.

So let me get this straight, apart from the first month, I need to fork over a 100$ for a 12 month subscription ? Like really, no monthly subscription for some odd game I might want to try ? Plus I don't suppose there is any possibility to rebind the keys or even a k+m support, so I have to have their controller.

Having to buy a console to play (stream) said games on PC completely defeats the whole purpose of this in the first place. What a stupid idea.
At least with (some) xbox games you can purchase them via windows store without the need to buy an actual xbox. I was excited to see the headline that PS4 games will be available on PC - but this? no ****ing way.
I get Sony wants us to buy their hardware - but a lot of die hard PC gamers will not buy any consoles no matter what - if you want to have your own exclusive website or app where you charge console game prices for the pc version, thats fine, so be it - we'd pay for those exclusives to be played on our own hardware - but still having to buy a Ps4 is just ridiculous imo. At least your games would be reaching a larger market and selling more units.
But I think this is more so around the fact that streaming is the easy route and Sony doesn't want to have to try and optimize their titles for PC and the many thousands of configurations rather than using their already optimized console.

Sony bought Gaikai, who were an OnLive competitor. That's how they got into the business. I think they bought them because they knew full well they could never develop that sort of tech in house, but Microsoft certainly could. I think they were being pre-emptive to make sure they didn't get left behind. Once they got it, they had to do something with it.
It feels like PS Now has been one long experiment t to see if streaming could eventually replace consoles. All evidence seems to prove streaming will not catch on with the latency issues that are inherent in the technology. The best anyone has to say about it is, "it's not as bad as I thought it would be". With consoles at $300, sacrificing playability to save a little on the box doesn't make sense.
