PlayStation Now PC Streaming Service Gone Live

The service is particularly interesting to PC users, as a large number of the games which PSNow offers are PlayStation exclusives. For example, Final Fantasy XIII will need to be rented while BioShock Infinite, God of War III, and Batman: Arkham City are part of the subscription service. That, coupled with the price rise for PS Plus last month that Sony did not even bother to explain, has led to general discontent with the service. These include Heavy Rain, Tomb Raider, and Mafia II.

Finally, subscribers on PS Vita can download Amnesia: Memories. In honor of the launch on PC, a one year subscription for the service is now on sale for $99.99 (a 55 percent discount). Gamers will need to pay the subscription fee before they can play, however, which goes for $19.99 a month or $99.99 for one year. A wired Internet connection is recommended for the optimal experience.

Are you pleased with the line up, or have you already played these games?

PlayStation Now only supports previous-generation games. It’s typically in the 100ms to 150ms range depending on the title.

With an incredible gaming library and a massive overlap of third-party titles, this list of must-play games was incredibly hard to compile. If Microsoft allows a gamer to stream his own games and console from one screen to another, Sony’s own game streaming functions just like what Netflix does to games. However, unlike Xbox One’s Wireless Adaptor, this peripheral is Mac and PC-friendly.

Read on for the details and system requirements, and how to pre-order the DualShock 4 USB Wireless Adapter (available on Amazon right here). Third-party applications like DS4Windows are available to install on the PC to use the DualShock 4 with a computer when hooked up with a USB cable.
