PlayStation Now has come on leaps and bounds since its initial launch early in the generation, boosted significantly by the introduction of the ability to download games as well as stream them. With a gigantic and growing catalogue of games to choose from, it's the most popular game subscription service right now. Unfortunately, certain territories have been missing out this whole time, with several major European countries not able to take advantage of PS Now. Today, Sony has finally announced plans to remedy this.
Over on the PlayStation Blog, the platform holder has stated that it intends to hold a beta test for PS Now in the following countries: Spain, Italy, Portugal, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden. The beta will take place in early February, and you can sign up to take part by following this link. Further down the line, the service will launch in full in the aforementioned regions, but Sony has yet to provide a firm date.
Still, this is a positive step forwards for PlayStation Now, and hopefully PS4 fans in the above countries will be able to utilise it soon. Have you been waiting for PS Now support where you live? Stream your thoughts down to the comments below.

not cool. What about us South Africans?
How about......no?
Lol since Push square doesn't allow me to post only the first part how about this?
Hell no.
No Greece unfortunately
Would be way more exiting if it was part of the PS plus membership,instead of a separate service. I hope that the ps5 will have this added in the PS plus subscription with a higher price instead of having this being it's own thing.
It's just not fun when you have to pay for both plus and this service that could have easily been part of plus in the first place.
Could you create a foreign account and sign-up for the beta and get free games?
I think they should re model the service at this point.
So a FULL package that gives you streaming that is only available in certain countries and a DOWNLOAD package that offers the downloadable PS4 games to all countries.
If they bulked the PS4 games out and charge £7.99, it would compete with Game Pass
@neolit ah I seeee
@LordNodens I wanted to try this, too. However, I think you can still try it by changing your region to another country, e.g Italy which is close to us and probably latency won't be much of a problem.
@jdv95 that doesn't make any sense financially.
Great service if you have the internet for it, glad more people get to check it out. I've always been impressed the times I have tried it
@jdv95 only problem with that is it would mark up the price much more than it already is and i don't think a lot of people would pay that yearly.
What puzzles me is that they have a Mac client for RemotePlay, but not PlayStation Now.
@jdv95 With PS3 and Vita games leaving Plus in March, I'd have thought they'd be looking to bolster the service in some way by now, and perhaps roll a PS Now subscription in. After the recent price increase for Plus, I imagine there are going to be no end of complaints about the perceived dip in the value of a Plus subscription.
@biscuit_of_rage Africa always gets ignored by the video game industry
@TalentedGamer No.
@TalentedGamer Because I want to not a hard concept to understand.
