Sony has announced its plans for PlayStation Now over the next few months. In case you'd forgotten, the platform holder added a bunch of high-end PS4 games to the cloud-based service, including God of War, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, and Grand Theft Auto V. The bad news is these games will be removed from PS Now from 2nd January 2020. The good news is they're being replaced with some other top tier titles.
Joining the PS Now roster at the start of 2020 will be Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, and Overcooked 2. The duo of first party games will be available on the service until 7th April 2020, while Team 17's co-op cooking caper seems to be a permanent addition.
That's not all that's happening with PS Now, though. There's also this month's recent additions, such as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, and F1 2019. These are all available until 2nd March 2020, while Persona 5 and Middle-earth: Shadow of War will be around until the beginning of February.
It's a little confusing, but basically, there's lots to enjoy on PlayStation Now over the next few months. If you're a member, make sure you're making the most of these limited opportunities. Which games will you be playing on PS Now as we cross into 2020? Stream your thoughts into the comments below.

There's your Horizon PC release, enjoy
Spoiled and grateful to sony. The true gaming champion
I hate this setup and its probably why I wont renew it in March. I liked it better when the games were not top tier but were permanent.
Well p.c gamers here is your version of HZD..720p 30fps for a limited of time only..happy gaming.
so, that rumor (Horizon Zero Dawn on PC) actually pointed to this: PS Now!
@parvaz1 P.c gamers heard the news and they are still refusing to pay a subscription services on Sony's service. They want the game fully on their p.c and a few are not happy about it..port begging is ridiculous
My son has played all of the Uncharted games except Lost Legacy b/c I got that 1 as part of a B1G1 deal and traded it in when I was done b/c It was fairly short and I was never going back.
Since PS4 games can be downloaded guess a 1 month PS Now gift card will make for a nice stocking stuffer.
Here's an odd question for the masses - since he had a PS Vita TV hooked up to his PC monitor in his room for remote play when I'm watching TV, can PS Now games be remote played? Either the streaming ones or ones we download?
Anybody know of any PS Now sales I'll take info on those as well.
Wait, this stuff works on PC now right? My kid doesn't need to remote play on PS Vita TV, he can just play on his PC? Man, I'm getting old, can't keep up w/ the tech anymore.
Hate this new set up. Service was much better when games were permanent. Don't think I'll bother renewing as I don't have enough time to play games within a short window.
Currently playing U4 and Persona5 on the service. Both wildly entertaining, and definitely worth the price tag to play these.
The really thought, that Horizon will be released for PC? Oh they are so sweet. Confirmed again, trusting Russians is foolishnes
People actually thought Sony was going put horizon on pc native 🤣lol.
I seriously don't understand why they remove the games. Most of them can be bought by 15€ or less.
I would buy the service if not for the limited run for some of the top games. Make them permanent and you'll have my money.
@Jimmy_G_Buckets
To be fair, Sony does leave the top tier games on for 3 or more months at a time.
Only game that would take you longer than 3 months to beat would be Persona 5 (took me 6 months)
@Jimmy_G_Buckets 100% agree with you. I don't care if Sony don't follow Microsoft with the game pass. I can understand why they don't put their first-party titles at launch on it. But, once they add those titles, they should stay there permanently. Are they really worried about losing individual sales on a 3 years old game like HZD? It doesn't make any sense.
@IamNotPerfect
They don't have to because they don't need to.
They are the market leader. Xbox Gamepass' model was out of necessity to compete with Sony.
Sony will probably adjust accordingly if Microsoft eats into their share significantly with next-gen which is great for us
More competition is good for the consumer.
@AdamNovice LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
@TBubs311 You should just buy both games. They are cheap and worth it. Support the devs, not services.
@Shepherd_Tallon These games will never get ported to PC. Notice Sony has not ported any of their games to PC. Anything on PC is from a second party like Quantic Dream. No PSX, PSP, PS2, PS3 or PSVita games have been ported.
@IamNotPerfect HZD is still selling. Which is why they just did a holiday bundle. I see new players all the time who just bought the game. I will be glad when Sony shuts this service down so this whole streaming and on demand gaming crap can go away.
@Netret0120 M$ games are low quality so they fit the Gamepass model. Sony's games are high quality AAA in comparisom. I am playing The Outer Worlds and its Gamepass fodder. There games are not worth buying so Gamepass is the only way people would pay for them. M$ does not have any games on the level of HZD, Uncharted, TLoU or GOW. You cannot even compare the two at this point.
@Shepherd_Tallon I get it lol. This whole port begging thing has been ridiculous. Sadly it will never end.
LOL so many people looking like frauds with there "so called inside information"
I'm really happy about this. Joined a few months back when they dropped price so I got a year for like £38.
And so far I have played thru God of War & Uncharted, my kids have loads of games and now HZD and another Uncharted.
To me this is a bargain!
