RIP PlayStation Now

Yesterday Sony showed off the “all-new” PlayStation Plus game line-up, and it contains less than ever for PC players.

The post onthe PlayStation blogmakes almost no mention of the PC as a platform. The only point at which it is mentioned relates to the streaming of PlayStation 3 games to PC, which will be available to those who pay for the most expensive PlayStation Plus Premium tier. Here’s the full list of games:

There are some great games in the list, including Ico the originalDemon’s Souls, but it’s otherwise deeply underwhelming.

You might be thinking: hey, PlayStation is fundamentally about PlayStation owners, not us hangers-on on PC. The problem is that PlayStation Now was a genuinely decent service for PC players. It included over 700 games from PS1, PS2 and PS3, and evenadded some PlayStation 4 games over five years ago.
