Playable tomorrow, Tuesday August 3.
An eclectic mix of compelling titles await PlayStation Now members this month*. Nier: Automata promises compelling story and blistering RPG action in a far-flung future as combat androids take on a mechanical threat. Sci-fi style Ghostrunner challenges you to master its potent combination of unforgiving but ever thrilling parkour and one-hit-kill mechanics. Meanwhile, Undertale takes a nonviolent approach to traditional dungeon crawling. All are must plays, and all three are available to play from tomorrow, Tuesday, August 3.
Let’s take a closer look at each in turn.
Nier: Automata
In this captivating action RPG, invaders from another world attack without warning, unleashing machine lifeforms. To break the deadlock, a new breed of android infantry is sent into the fray: the YoRHa squad. Join androids 2B and 9S in their ferocious battle to reclaim an overrun dystopia and experience mesmerizing, high-speed combat that’s the specialty of development studio PlatinumGames.
Nier: Automata is available until Monday, November 1, 2021.
Ghostrunner
Wield a blade and perform amazing parkour feats to battle your way up a megastructure tower city in this intense, fast-paced first-person adventure. Slice your enemies with a monomolecular katana, dodge bullets with your superhuman reflexes, and employ a variety of specialized techniques to prevail. One-hit one-kill mechanics make combat fast and intense. Use your superior mobility (and frequent checkpoints!) to engage in a fearless, never-ending dance with death.
Undertale
In this top-down adventure, control a human who falls underground into the world of monsters. Now you must find your way out… or stay trapped forever! Explore a rich RPG world full of strange and delightful characters where violence isn’t the only answer: every enemy can be defeated nonviolently. Negotiate out of danger using a unique battle system. Dance with a slime…pet a dog…whisper your favorite secret to a knight…or ignore all of that and rain destruction upon your foes. The choices are yours—but are you determined enough to prevail?
*Certain games featured on PlayStation Now may be made available in the library on a limited-time basis only. Games included in the subscription (and their features) are subject to change. PlayStation Now games may not provide the same features or be identical to the original formatted or other versions of the same-titled games.
Gotta start adding PS5 titles, even if its just one a month.
Probably won’t start happening until next year, there are not many games that are natively on the ps5….in a year or two when ps5 gets a decent library, only then will they get added to ps now
Remember that PS Now games are also available for streaming (RDR2 being the exception). Sony have a hard enough time stocking retailers with PS5s, and in order to offer PS5 games on PS Now, they’d also have to stock their servers with PS5s. So that’s probably not going to be happening very soon
They haven’t even scratched the surface on PS4 games. I’d like for them to focus on PS4 and PS3 games mainly. Perhaps in 2 years PS Now will see PS5 titles but for the foreseeable future I don’t think that is their focus with the service.
Agreed, why can’t we download the PS5 versions of games like Borderlands 3 or Judgement for example. PS Now needs to add PS5 games yesterday
Wait, what the PS5 has already been released??? :)
