It's the start of the month, which means Sony's thrown a few more games onto PlayStation Now. The streaming service already has hundreds of titles in its coffers, but the lineup is now 10 games stronger in both Europe and North America.
Unusually, both regions have exactly the same roster of games joining the fray. Here's the full list of titles being added to PS Now this month:
- De Blob
- Farming Simulator 19
- Gravity Rush 2
- LittleBigPlanet 3
- MudRunner
- Red Faction Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered
- RIDE 3
- The Surge
- Titan Quest
- Vampyr
There's some pretty good stuff this month. Gravity Rush 2 and LittleBigPlanet 3 are both quality PS4 sequels, while the likes of Vampyr and MudRunner are worth a play too. Which of these games will you be checking out on PS Now? Let us know in the comments below.

Add a restricted GB download limit version with PS+ and I'd be interested.
Vampyr For me I have been waiting to play this for some time so really looking forward to it 👍
PlayStation needs to pull a Xbox and offer $1 sign up for PlayStation now that would get me to use PlayStation now
Great service keeps on getting better. The games list is amazing!
@KnightWolf I'm honestly surprised they haven't, but I never see PS Now advertised on anything Gamepads is plastered everywhere
there's a few games out of that list I'd certainly enjoy - Vampyr, Gravity Rush 2, Red Faction, though I half expect them to be on PS+ in the nexct couple of months.
If there was a PS+/Now merger, or discounted price for having them both, I'd snap it up as I've got the bandwith for PS Now. But as it stands, I can't justify the additional £13 per month given the amount of duplication across both services (I have been a PS+ member for several years now, so I appreciate not everyone will be in that position).
That's a really good update.
@RedMan33 @KnightWolf It's just completely different business models. Xbox takes a loss on Game Pass but it's a way of getting more people invested in the ecosystem — especially in a generation where Xbox is so far behind the direct competition.
The truth is that Sony doesn't need its own Game Pass right now — it makes a crazy amount of money off PSN alone and it's the market leader.
It'll be interesting to see how Game Pass is handled next-gen.
@ShogunRok I remember seeing that Now makes more than Gamepass and it makes complete sense, most of the time there's some offer to get a month or 2 of GP for £1 while Now never seems to go down.
Now is the equivalent it's just a shame for Sony they haven't got PS3 games downloadable, if it was a fiver a month people would rave about it I reckon
@RedMan33 Yeah, I agree, PS Now could be reworked to make it more appealing in general. Maybe it'll get an overhaul next-gen.
Vampyr was supposed to be added in June, before being deleted from the blog post? I will stick with games pass though, at least until we see what Sony has planned for PS Now next-gen.
As it stands, Now does not have Sonys exclusives on within a reasonable 12 month time frame, the streaming itself isnt great, and the regional differences in the list of games is awful for EU gamers.
@KnightWolf or you need to get a job before asking everything to be $1
@BridgeToClarity aye, I know what you mean. I did take advantage of a reduced PS+ annual sub (£39.99), though when I looked at the games I would play in PS Now compared to what I already had (either bought or via PS+), there were a lot of duplicates.
PS Now works out at £7.08 a month if I bought the annual sub up front, which is much more palatable than £13 a month!
So, if I could get both for less than a tenner (even £9.99) that's better than the current full price of £11.25 pm but given the amount of game duplication, I'd probably want this for £8ish - but I know that may be unrealistic.
Darn me for having PS+ for a long time, lol. If I were a newbie to Playstation, I'd see this as a much better proposition.
@jess3a3
I have a job thank you very much nice try kiddo
PS Now really gets heavy use from my kids for the Lego games and a few others so I see it as good value. Would love a few more PS3 games like ffxiii on there though.
If they would cut the cost of playstation now down to where it is more similarly priced to Game Pass I would probably pick it up, the selection is really solid
VAMPYR!!!!!!!!!
The rest I already have or played so really not that interesting...
Man, I just can’t believe we’re closeish to another generation and this service is still not available down here in NZ. I mean our net speeds have come a long way and I’m just keen to give it a hoon
