If September was not already jam-packed with various new titles hitting store shelves soon, this might make you rethink your time management. As per a post on PlayStation Blog, Sony announced that Bloodborne alongside nine other titles have made their way into the PlayStation Now library. Notable titles that will join the once titled "Project Beast" include Bandai Namco's God Eater Resurrection and, for petrol heads, Project CARS.
For those who have yet to try PlayStation Now, anyone who subscribes before 25th September will be able to take advantage of its current offer. It currently has a year promotion (which is not usually offered) going for $99.99, with the three month service being discounted from $44.99 to $29.99 for PlayStation Plus subscribers.
Do you have PlayStation Now? If not, does this offer tempt you? Stream your thoughts into the comments below.

Oh wow, great news for the 5 subscribers
Streaming and lag on bloodborne? Ouch. No thanks....
With Incredible and varied Sales, in PS Store, and No Fear of Streaming Lag, the PS Now option seems Expensive …?
It's my lucky day! I've been meaning to give this service another go, since I'm always on my laptop, so...time to try out the 3-month deal! I'll let you guys know how well it works (is 720p, 60 FPS the maximum output still?)
Who uses this exactly? Also, steaming a game like Bloodborne sounds like a terrible idea.
Considering how much and how many PC gamers complained about not being able to play it on PC, this maaaaay persuade some of them to try psnow.
I have really good internet service, 400mps. Psnow still doesn't work all that great.
@naruball It will probably attract some of them, but most will only touch Steam games, to a lesser extent GOG. Even on PC, Bloodborne still seen as a console title, with all the negativity that springs from that in the PC gaming community. To add to this, it's Sony, one of the PC Masterrace's axis enemies. There's not much that can compete against Steam on PC, maybe MIcrosoft has a decent chance, but not Sony.
@Bonbonetti Yeah, I definitely agree with all that. I just think that considering the fact that most gamers don't have high end PC's, psnow may be good enough for a lot of them. It definitely won't be good enough for 60pfps or gtfo elitists.
@naruball Yeah, unfortunately these people are the opinion-makers or influencers. If a game is below 60fps it's just trashed immediately, with no consideration to the content. I think the main problem is Sony and Bloodborne's image, that it's on a different platform than Steam is the secondary problem.
Who knows though, Bloodborne is a huge title in terms of fame, so it could be strong enough to pull people towards PSnow. If any game can do it, it's Bloodborne.
I tried playing Red Dead Redemption on PS Now but the connection kept cutting out. Poor John Marston couldn't even get off the train in the beginning credits.
It's a bit of a rubbish service if you're not on hyper speed quad core millennium platinum broadband.
@ApostateMage I'm going to give the free 7 day trial a go for this game. I've never played it but have Pre ordered 2. What broadband speed do you have? I'm 16-18 mgs which is theoretically ok but sceptical of the specs provided
@R1spam You might fare a little better than I did. My internet says I can get speeds of up to 18mbs but I reckon I'm only getting about half that.
I've still got my dusty old PS3 so I'm just gonna see if I get a pre owned copy of RDR for about £4 from CEX.
@ApostateMage my ps3 died a long time ago (disk read error) otherwise that would be my first option. Toyed with idea of getting an old Xbox to play this, portal 2 and half life 2 but I don't have enough bloody time to keep up with this gens games as it is!!! Happy hunting in cex 👍
I think ps now is fantastic. If you pay for Netflix you can pay for this. Just as good.
