“Your saved games come over with you, you can continue where you left off, you can start on the PC and continue on a console, and vice versa”, Eric Lempel, PlayStation Network chief, says. The titles include Sony powerhouses such as: Uncharted, God of War, Ratchet & Clank, The Last of Us and Journey. Current PS Now subscribers will be able to access their accounts on PC too, allowing them to continue progress on games across platforms.

Though the service has been live for quite sometime on the PlayStation 4, PS3, PS Vita and a few Blu-ray players and Smart TVs, this is the first time Windows PC users will get to play exclusive PS3 games.
The Dualshock 4 USB adapter will be compatible with PlayStation Now titles on PC, as well as Remote Play through a PC or Mac. We already know that what the console looks like, and that it comes with a new, slightly updated DualShock 4 controller- and now, thanks to more information shared by Twitter user shortman82, we have more information on both.
While their announcement for the adaptor does mention PC and Mac connectivity, PlayStation Now functionality is currently strictly for the PC. Sony, however, made a decision to charge PlayStation gamers to play their old games, which was seen as a slap in the face for some fans. This $25 dongle will release in early September, and will allow you to wirelessly pair a DualShock 4 controller to your PC. The product will hit the shelves in September with a suggested retail price of $24.99.
While the buck doesn’t stop with Sony simply adding the new measure of security for PSN users, it is a prod in the right direction to make online gaming and transactions more secure. By doing this, you will also enable every feature of the controller, such as analog sticks, touch pad, light bar, motion sensors, vibration, stereo headset jack and more.
