Seen as a direct response to Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Now is in a better position than it ever has been, though the jury is still out on its long-term appeal. With a massive library of PS3 games not quite enough to convince gamers the similarly massive monthly price was worth it, they not too long released PS4 games for PlayStation Now that could be downloaded instead of streamed.

The PS3 was certainly a bit of a wild card.īut Sony aren’t giving up on it just yet.

The odd nature of the architecture of the PlayStation 3 makes streaming a necessity, which is one of the main reasons why we will never get comprehensive backwards compatibility with the PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5. Even then the games suffer from compressed resolution and constant stuttering.

It demands a lot of your internet connection owing to it streaming all of its games, so those without superfast broadband need not apply. Despite being a service for quite a long time, it’s hard to suggest that PlayStation Now is vital to the PS4 experience – you aren’t exactly missing out on much if you don’t subscribe.
