We’re excited to announce that PlayStation Now is making the jump to Windows PC. The app launches overseas in parts of Europe soon and will come to North America shortly thereafter.
This will bring a wide selection of PlayStation exclusive titles to Windows PC for the very first time, including entries in the Uncharted, God of War, and Ratchet & Clank franchises, as well as beloved PS3 games like The Last of Us and Journey. Current subscribers have a new way to access PS Now’s library of over 400 games, and the PC app provides a new way for even more gamers to discover and play the service.
We’re also introducing a new device, the DualShock 4 USB Wireless Adaptor, which launches in early September for a suggested retail price of $24.99 ($29.99 CAD). This adaptor will let you connect a DualShock 4 to PC and Mac wirelessly, and will enable every feature of the controller you know and love: buttons, analog sticks, touch pad, light bar, motion sensors, vibration, and stereo headset jack – as long as the gaming application supports these features.
The adaptor is a great match for playing PS Now on a computer, but you can also use it for PS4 Remote Play on PC and Mac. If you haven’t yet downloaded Remote Play on your PC or Mac, grab the installer here. Of course, owning the USB Wireless Adaptor isn’t required, as you can connect a DualShock 4 using a USB cable.
Here are the recommended specs for running PS Now on your PC:
- Windows 7 (SP1), 8.1 or 10
- 3.5 GHz Intel Core i3 or 3.8 GHz AMD A10 or faster
- 300 MB or more; 2 GB or more of RAM
- Sound card; USB port
A minimum 5Mbps connection is required to use PS Now on any device. We recommend a wired Internet connection for the optimal experience.
We’ll be in touch to confirm the exact launch date of the PlayStation Now Windows PC app in North America, and stay tuned for some exciting games that will be added to the library.

Could somebody please confirm whether or not connecting the PS4 controller to the PC via USB cable allows for usage of headphones via the headphone jack? Or is that only available via the new adapter?
can this be used on ps4 to help with bluetooth problems at Black ops 3 Lan events
HEY WHAT ABOUT MY PLATFORM I WANT YOUR TO SUPPORTING A XBOX ONE CONSOLE STEAM LINUX DEBIAN BEOS GNU INTERFACE SYSTEM DELUXE PACKAGE
Coming to Australia???
Can PS Now games on PC be played with a controller other than a DS4? Like say, my Razer Sabertooth?
Could the adapter work on PS3? Be able to use the stereo jack and ps button.
why the remote is not working with bluetooth?
the pc see the remote but we are unable to play with the remote on remote play
Debería tener sólo la plataforma para PC. no tiene gracia que te exigan tener PS4 para poder usar los juegos en PC.
Will this work for all steam games on pc? I sure hope so other programs are glitchy when using with some pc and steam games. Def will get for wireless remote play!
Any news when we might see this in the UK :)
Oh supports just one controller at a time and no PS3 controllers. Otherwise would have been interested for general PC multiplayer gaming and Quantic Dream’s PS4 titles if released for PS Now.
Any one know if you can use a DS3 controller? because I don’t want to have to fork out like £40 for a new controller.
The fact that PlayStation Now for PC has just been released is great, as it will give everyone the chance play the best games online: http://playstationnow.yolasite.com/
Been able to use a PS4 controller (yes wireless too) on a PC for a while now. Sure it makes it look like a Xbox 360 controller but it works and is $24.99 cheaper than this, so what is the difference?
P.S. can I play my bought PS3 game discs on my PS4 for FREE yet? be nice if you would get on that as having to pay for a service that allows me to play games I already bought is just a slap in the face to those of us that understand this is not a godly gift to have to pay even more for games we already bought.
Nope, the PS3 (well the original PS3 with 4 USB ports) was the last of the BW compatible consoles. PS Now appears to be the closest thing to having BW compatibility. Still hoping for a PS4 add-on or something at some point that will allow me to use my PS3 library on it, but not holding breath.
