PlayStation are set to expand the library for their game streaming service, PlayStation Now, with the introduction of PS4 titles later this year. A private test is due to begin in the next few weeks, with invitations being sent out to players with active PlayStation Now subscriptions, according to the PlayStation Blog.
The service, which is available on PS4 and PC, currently allows subscribers to play 483 different PS3 games, streamed direct to the console or PC, without the need for downloading the game. It also utilises cloud saves, allowing you to start a game on one console, and continue where you left off on another console, or even a PC. Those on PC will surely be excited for the chance to play exclusives such as Uncharted 4 or Bloodborne without the need of owning the console, should they be added.
There is no word yet on which PS4 games will be making their way onto the service, but they have confirmed the current subscription price, $20/month in the US and £13/month in the UK, will include streaming of both PS3 and PS4 games. This is definitely a deal sweetener, and probably what the service needed given the criticism it receives; perhaps it was a response to the recently announced Xbox Game Pass service from Microsoft.
With a decent internet connection, the streaming service works pretty well, and if you haven’t already given it a go, you can grab a 7 day free trial on the PlayStation Store. Red Dead Redemption and The Last of Us were some of the most popular PS Now titles for February.
