PlayStation Now to get $19.99 subscription option this month

Matthew Wilson January 5, 2015 Software & Gaming

Sony's video game streaming service, PlayStation Now, is finally getting its long awaited subscription option over in the US. The subscription plan launches later this month with two different options. PS4 owners can choose a 1 month subscription plan at $19.99 or a three month one, which will set you back $44.99.

That monthly fee will grant you unlimited access to the PlayStation Now library of PS3 titles, although PS1 and PS2 games are expected to make an appearance in the future. PlayStation Now Marketing Chief, Peter Jamshidi, commented on the announcement in a PlayStation blog post:

“There's strong value with the subscription, as you're getting access to over a hundred great games and lots of hours of game time”. [yframe url='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmXfKa22PZg']

“What's more, we will be adding even more games over time, so you will always have something great to play.”

Sony's cloud gaming service has been available in the US for some time now, with a European launch supposedly penciled in for some time in 2015. However, no announcement has been made at this time.

Back when Sony originally delayed PS:Now in Europe, it cited regional connection speed as the primary concern.

KitGuru Says: PlayStation Now has had pricing and performance issues in the past but this new subscription model seems fair for what is on offer, particularly when you consider that the library of available games will constantly grow. Unfortunately for PS4 owners in the EU, there is no news about a PS:Now launch on this side of the Atlantic just yet but we still expect a launch some time in 2015. Have any of our US readers tried PlayStation Now? What did you think of it?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.

    I predict failure.

    Cool for console users I guess. Of course, we don’t pay much more for new games on the PC, and old games like that are free on the PC, and people can still play the games they already own, but it’s still good for console gamers.
