Sony is pushing for their PlayStation Now service to become more competitive with Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass, slicing the monthly cost of the service. Those in the UK will see a price drop from £13 to £9 monthly, Europe will now pay €10 as opposed to €15 each month, while those in North America see the biggest drop, as the monthly subscription fee of $19.99 drops to $9.99. Those currently subscribed to PlayStation Now will see a price decrease on their next scheduled bill. To sweeten the deal, PlayStation has added four new titles to their program, allowing for players to experience God of War (2018), inFAMOUS Second Son, Grand Theft Auto V, and Uncharted 4 as part of their subscription, for the next three months. If you haven't tried it out yet, you can get a seven-day free trial to see how PlayStation Now works for you, for either streaming or downloading content to your PlayStation 4, or for streaming games via PC.

That's nice I guess. Still too much latency for me so I won't bother, but seeing a price drop is a step in the right direction.

This is a steal. I could even finish a game or two with the free trial, there's a good library already here, saving me a lot of money from buying some PS4 games. The ability to locally download the PS4 titles is the deal maker for me.

Good good, this is a sign of the PS4s inevitable end.

Cmon we all kno the ps5 is 2020 so it's obvious the signs of ps4 end are due

I saw a PS4 for like 200€ with a game included in a store, are things going bad for Sony or something? Or are they generous

2013? Wow I never cared for consoles that much but I could swear that PS4 and Xbox one came 2-3 years ago

Yes 6 years old nearly - PS4 pro did though-the ps5 should of came this year I'd say but we still got big ps4 titles on way death stranding ff7 remake and last of us 2

 

[Clydefrosch]

Er it's way better than what nintendo offer we're talking current gen games - sony don't need to be desperate

if it's soooo great, why do they feel the need to sweeten the deal?

Cmon mate it's obvious just to attract new customers

Ah man, for a second I thought the headline would be PS4 receives a pricecut.

 

[DKB]

I tried it. It's honestly a steal. Especially if you do the trial. God of War for free? Damn.

 

[Unity150_magickavoxel]

Played psnow games on my cousins ps4 with ethernet could not feel any lag at all.

Sony is probably pushing it now because of the launch of Stadia in the not so far away future.

 

[mightymuffy]

Really good step in the right direction! Sure it's a quid more (in the UK) and doesn't feature new releases like Game Pass, but compared to the pricepoint etc before, this is a huge thumbs up from me!

 

[sloppycrap]

Man, I'd sign up for sure if Sony had the balls to make a Switch client

 

[Voyambar]

Wow...never expected Sony to do something like this. Game Streaming will never catch on though. Never.

Was never any love for Australia...

Big deal it's like 30 bucks or less at gamestop

 

[kingtut]

This is definitely a step in the right direction. But having the marquee titles stay only a few months makes it inferior to game pass in my opinion.
