In addition to the PlayStation Now announcement, Sony is also unveiling the new wireless Dualshock 4 remote, which will plug right in to the USB drive of any PC or MAC. PlayStation recommends that gamers use a wired connection for the best result. Your internet service will also have to be accommodating, with a minimum connection of 5Mbps (megabytes per second) required. If you want the PS Now service on your PC you will, of course, have to meet some system requirements, like Windows 7 or higher, 2GB of ram, 3.5 GHz Intel Core i3 or 3.8 GHz AMD A10, and standard issue items like a sound card and a USB port.
There are also plans to bring exclusive game titles to PC from some of the more popular gaming franchises, like Ratchet & Clank, God of War and Uncharted. PlayStation Now on the PC will give subscribers new and old access to the extensive library of over 400 games that the PS Now service currently boasts. PlayStation Blog just leaked itself, PS Now on PC is coming /poCjMDBECh In the wake of the leak, the official PlayStation blog posted a confirmation announcement about the PlayStation Now streaming service making the jump to the Windows PC, and we now have confirmation that the app will first debut in Europe and then move overseas to the United States. This leak spoils what is presumably intended to be a major unveiling at the PlayStation 4 Neo Event on September 7th at the New York PlayStation Theatre. Futhermore, it looks like an accidental reveal may have let the cat out of the bag, so to speak, on another of Sony's newest innovations: bringing the PS Now streaming service to PC users.Ī screenshot posted to Twitter (see below) today of the PlayStation Flickr account reveals an image tagline that reads "PS Now on PC Announce Post by PlayStation Europe on Flickr".
The PS4 Neo event comes just on the heels of the news that we're also getting a highly anticipated PS4 Virtual Reality Headset, which may also find it's way to the PC. Never content to rest on its laurels, however, Sony is set to unveil two new versions of the popular gaming console this September at the PlayStation Neo event in New York City.
Since Sony released the PlayStation 4in 2013, it has consistently dominated the gaming world.
