At CES 2014, Sony has announced the launch of a new streaming game service, PlayStation Now (PS Now). The service is expected to launch in the U.S. this summer and will give users access to titles from the PS3 library. The games will be playable on PS4 and PS3 systems, with PS Vita systems close behind. Sony indicates that they want to eventually expand the offering beyond the PlayStation platform and even beyond Sony devices, allowing consumers to play their titles on a wide variety of Internet-connected devices, notably smartphones and tablets.
The cloud-based technology used to build the PS Now service will enable users to:
Play video games instantly across multiple devices, similar to the way you might stream TV, movies, and music.
Stream full games to all of your compatible PlayStation devices including PS4, PS3, and PlayStation Vita as well as non-PlayStation devices, beginning with 2014 BRAVIA TV models and expanding to numerous other Internet-connected devices.
Always play the most updated version of your game. With games hosted in the cloud, you can take your game with you – just log in with your Sony Entertainment Network account on a compatible device and your games and saved progress will be easily available.
According to Sony, they plan to offer choices to both “rent” by the title or pay for a subscription giving users access to the entire library. The program will enter beta at the end of January.
