Sony Launch Playstation Now Service
Sony’s PlayStation Now subscription service is launching on January 13th in North America for the PlayStation 4, giving customers access to over 100 PS3 games that can be streamed to other devices, including smart phones and the PS Vita. The company announced that it’ll cost you $20 per month or $45 for 3 months, for full, unlimited access to the PS Now game library.
Games include Batman Arkham City, Saints Row, infamous, TellTale’s The Walking Dead, Grid 2, DarkSiders 2 and a whole lot more, though most of the games available do appear to be a few years old.
Regardless, this is, in my opinion, a giant step-up from what PlayStation Now currently offers, which is basically a rental service, charging up to $5 for a few hours of access to a single game. A limited subscription to a single game could cost up to $30, so if the new service costs $45 for all games for 3 months, uh, yeah, this is a solid improvement.
