PlayStation Now Will Start Offering PS4 Games Soon

When Sony decided to start offering PlayStation 3 games via online streaming through the PlayStation Now service, it provided players who prefer to rent games instead of buying them a decent option. However, the limited lineup made up of games from the previous generation has been an issue. To address this, Sony will also start offering PS4 games through PlayStation Now later in the year.

Newcomers will need to make a few notes about PlayStation Now before jumping into it. For one thing, it costs $20 a month and the content is exclusively streamed online. This means that users with terrible or unreliable internet connections are not likely going to find the service that enjoyable. As for the titles themselves, the PS3 lineup is still limited and the upcoming PS4 additions are still a mystery, PC Mag reports.

Only a few people will find out how well the new games work on the platform thanks to a private test that Sony is planning to conduct. The most likely candidates are those users who are the most active participants in the subscription.

Although this might be considered great news for fans of the service, it would seem that there are a few other developments that might give users pause. Sony is apparently considering discontinuing support of PlayStation Now on a number of devices, which include the PS Vita and PS TV. It will even be unavailable on the PS3, which is simply unfortunate.

Analysts are now thinking that the PS4 games will be arriving just in time for all of these platforms to lose their support, thus, making sure that only players on the current generation will be able to use the online streaming service. For now, only PS4 and PC users can feel comfortable that all 483 titles on the PlayStation Now will be available for them to play in the near future, PlayStation Lifestyle reports.
