Sony have announced plans for PlayStation Now today . This new service, which has been in development since Sony purchased Gaikai entertainment last year, is finally being shown this week at CES in Las Vegas. PlayStation Now will not only allow you to stream games to your PS4 and PS3 but also to smartphones, tablets and even supported televisions! Sony are already showing off this new technology at CES allowing visitor to try out The Last of Us on multiple devices.


Cloud gaming allows games to be streamed over a network to any sort of device. The game does not rely on the device's processing power. The game is being run on powerful servers around the world but then the picture is being streamed to the device, just like a YouTube video.

No one is sure about the price of this service, or whether it might just be free with PlayStation Plus, however Sony will be launching a closed beta later on this month in the United States to try out the new system in consumer's hands. They plan to roll out the service in the coming months.

Are you excited for PlayStation Now? Are you willing to pay an extra fee for this service?

Doesn't sound very useful to me. Certainly wouldn't pay for it never mind use it.

i hopeit will be for plus users and we can play all the games we had for ps3 free on the ps4

If an average game now is 50gb, can you imagine the internet you would have to have to stream a game with no input lag. I don't think internet in most countries are ready for this.

i think that is why they have a closed beta coming this month

I'm not really too interested in it. Bandwidth caps by ISPs in my area put a damper on how much use I'll be able to get out of it, plus I still have my old consoles laying around. If it's free with PS+ for games I already own, I'll give it a shot but otherwise I'm gonna pass.

Curious to how well it works along with the requirements.
