PlayStation Now (PS Now) was a standalone video game subscription service on consoles developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The service offered cloud gaming for PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4 games that could be played on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Microsoft Windows computers. In addition, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation 4 games could be downloaded to play locally on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.[2] With the expansion of the PlayStation Plus service to offer additional tiers in May–June 2022, the standalone PlayStation Now subscription was shut down, but its services were incorporated into the PlayStation Plus Premium tier.[3]
No games could be downloaded to a PC.[4] Downloaded games could be played without an internet connection, but internet connection was required for verification every few days.[5][6]
Non-PlayStation devices required a DualShock 3, 4, DualSense, or any XInput-compatible controller, such as Xbox Wireless Controller, Elite Wireless Controller or Adaptive Controller, to use the service. If members intended to stream their games, Sony recommended that players have a minimum of 5 Mbps internet connection to achieve good performance.[7]
