Up to 400 PlayStation games are about to become playable on PC with the “PlayStation Now” offering by Sony. Unfortunately, the feature involves streaming games via internet on a subscription basis, much like Netflix. In addition, players will need to pay a monthly subscription fee of $20, buy an official controller from Sony and have a powerful rig.
Industry experts have been predicting the end of the console age for years now, and they have always been proven wrong; until now, that is. As Engadget reports, the availability of “PlayStation Now” on the PC may be the start of the end for the home gaming era.
The service essentially streams video games over to clients, which used to only be available on the “PlayStation 3 and 4,” the handheld gaming devices, and even TV sets. Bringing the feature over to Windows allows Sony to reach a much larger audience who will then take advantage of the 400 video game titles that are available with the monthly subscription.
According to a post by Sony, the feature will first be available in Europe, but it will quickly be brought over to America in the near future.
“This will bring a wide selection of PlayStation exclusive titles to Windows PC for the very first time, including entries in the Uncharted, God of War, and Ratchet & Clank franchises, as well as beloved PS3 games like The Last of Us and Journey,” the post reads.
In order to play the games, owners of PCs will need to shell out $24.99 for the DualShock 4 controller that Sony is releasing for PC and Mac. The controller will come with a USB stick and is wireless. Sony also recommends for the PC to have a 3.5GHz processor and for players to have a reliable 5Mpbs internet speed at all times.
