PS4 Games Can Now Be Played on PC with PlayStation Now

PS4 obsolete?

@JAMes-BroWWWn Uhm, have you read the actual list of games?

This will be a very carefully curated list of games. You won't be seeing Horizon or UC4 on there for a loooong time. A lot of these titles are already available cheap on Steam so not sure who this is for. I know a few PC gamers that want to play Bloodborne and TLOU but won't buy a PS4 and are tempted by a sub.

Seems odd to include a number of third party multi-platform games - surely PC gamers would play those via Steam if they had any real interest in them. I guess it doesn't hurt to have access to them as part of a subscription and can play them without purchasing them directly.

I used to have access too PSNow through my 'Smart' TV but I believe they cut that and limited the service to PC's and Consoles. I wonder if the addition of PS4 games is a reaction to Xbox's Game Pass? Not criticising btw, but if it is, it shows how competition can improve the others - in this case, the game options in PSNow.

It does seem rather expensive though....

@Neolit Also, PS now games can't be modded like most PC games on steam. Honestly, playing a PS4 game on a PC via PS Now is basically just like playing the PS4 version. Can't wait for PC gamers defending this service, despite calling the service terrible a few months ago. Same goes with the Xbox One games. Just wait till Xbox Game Pass gets ported PC, since Phil Spencer is already looking into that.

@JAMes-BroWWWn It's just like renting ps4, you don't own ps4 games and you still got ps4 performance even if you've got a gaming pc.

Well... here in north america got the short end of the stick......

@Tasuki I wonder if the PS3 can then play the PS4 games??

''Pricing in Europe is £12.99 per month.'' I don't believe it's available anywhere in Europe but the UK...

@Neolit Maybe you aren't entirely familiar with the PS Now service. The latency between controller and screen is near zero, even on a mediocre connection. That's been my experience anyway.

@finalstan PS4 isn't obsolete but you do know that Sony plans is to put every game into PSNnow I think it's brilliant for those that don't want a PS4 or PS4pro works out well
Games always look better on PC then consoles

@get2sammyb Yes it is my dear friend and lots of gamers are getting angry over what I have no clue the more people playing them games the better it is

But my gripes with Sony is PSNnow isn't supported everywhere so lots of other countries miss out on this

@JAMes-BroWWWn It's up to gamers on where they play their games being a bit childish aren't we ?

@Rudy_Manchego Don't kid yourself they are all going there week per week more will be added I see this as very good thing

@Games_lover it seems like you do not know what "childish" means. My reaction being confused and upset is based on rational behaivor.
Advertising a product with the statement it's receiving games EXCLUSIVELY to 1 certain platform in order to sell that product - was the reason to buy the product in the first place.
If the factor waiting was determining to get games on a way better platform (PC) I would have waited and would NOT have invested in Sonys product instead invested in my PC. False and misleading advertising should be considered inacceptable and illegal by every average consumer. Every other reaction is simply stupid. No "child" would have been confused and upset as not understand the bad practice behind that behaivor.

@Games_lover Not kidding myself at all - it is business. If they stream console exclusives to PC from launch, people won't buy them and PS4's to play them on.

The point of the service is to get a bit of revenue from PC gamers who won't buy a PS4 but they would still rather sell you a PS4 and their games. That is why the only games currently offered are either old launch titles OR existing cross platform games.

@Games_lover I see. Well, I still think there will be some restrictions applied i.e. not all games will appear straight away, there will be a delay, I will be watching this space because I am interested in the service, I even played FFXIII when it was available and later - infamously - removed from the service.

Is this one step closer to Playstation becoming a service only? I think so...

$100! You gotta be kidding me. 😵

So, I guess there is no reason for people to buy a PS4 now, since their games will end up on PC. In fact, just like you guys said about Xbox, PlayStation doesn't really have many exclusives then? Ya know....since all their exclusives will end up on PC.

Or is it different because it is Sony? Or is it different because you have to stream the games (which nobody likes doing) on Sony's ridiculous PS Now service? Hrm.

To be honest, I think this is a good thing. Unlike the most of you, who rip Microsoft for doing this (I have no idea why other than fanboyism), it's a smart business move as a company. Microsoft just saw that quicker than Sony.

Microsoft & Sony make minimal profit (if any) off hardware. They make their money on software & services. That's why companies don't care whether you play Uncharted, Gears Of War, Horizon, or Halo on console or PC. Either way, they are getting your money. And before anyone even says, "But Uncharted & Horizon aren't on PS Now!"......I say, "Not yet." Because if they don't show up on there eventually, this is all a big waste of time. PS Now will never take off because of it's streaming nature. But, it REALLY won't take off without an Uncharted or Horizon on the service.

Not sure if you have seen this - a breakdown of PS4 games on Now. The latency, the 720p resolution etc.
