PS Now beta expands to PS4 Tuesday

4.5

The PlayStation Now private beta will expand to PS4 on Tuesday in the US, Sony announced Monday.

The streaming game service was previously limited to PlayStation 3, though it is scheduled to release on PS4, PS3, PS Vita, and certain Bravia TVs sometime this year. The firm also revealed that it will send out more invites to the beta program soon; users can register their interest here.

Revealed at CES in January, PS Now will stream PS3 games to PlayStation systems, Bravia TVs and, in the future, other Sony and non-Sony devices. More games from across the PlayStation hardware family will follow.

Users can rent games for one, seven, or 30 days using PS Now. Alternatively, a yet-to-be-revealed subscription will provide full access to the streaming library.

Sony will launch the service in North America this summer. It has been reported that the PS Now European launch won't occur until the first quarter of 2015.

The first PS Now-compatible television sets will hit North America in June.

This is pretty neat but it's kind of sucks that it is such a closed and private beta. It will be instructing to see how good this service is and if it takes long to download a game. I also wonder how expensive the unlimited gaming subscription will be. If it is decently priced at about $10 it will be a greta deal and tons of people will buy it but if it is like $20-$30 a month it will not sell that well even though it's still cheaper then a cost of a new game.

As would other customers. It sounds like a pretty solid implication.

jxremiah makes getting a ps4 COMPARABLE to getting an X1 tbh

Okay kid, you kind of fail at trolling. They are totally different systems with different features. And last time I checked, PS4 is destroying the XB1 in sales. And by the way, nobody uses "tbh" unless you're some hipster white chick. So shut up.

I don't have a PS4 but I will ask my friends who do have one how this is, if they decide to use it.
