And that’s really the overall issue: the updated PlayStation Now has the potential to be great, but currently it’s not. The other arguable best selling point is that you don’t have to be an active PlayStation Plus subscriber to play the online portion of PlayStation Now games.Įven though the price point is much better than before and the potential for great games being added in the future is appealing, the service falls short compared to services like Xbox Game Pass or EA Access. It doesn’t seem like the price would drop again (at least not in the near future), but there’s always the possibility of a sale to make the price even more desirable. Initially, PlayStation Now’s price was too high. The new price point is arguably the strongest selling point for the service. Unfortunately, PC users don’t get the option at all. This of course makes connectivity no longer an issue, however, this is only an option for the PS4 games. The only surefire fix to this was downloading the game, as opposed to streaming it. Hard-wiring the controller didn’t fix that issue either. Also, the controller would frequently freeze up during streaming of PS3 games, leading to an in-game death or failed mission. The main issue was lag, but input command was problematic as well. Streaming on 5 GHz was noticeably better, but sadly wired wasn’t an option. There were frequent issues streaming games with my 2.4 GHz wireless connection. The end result is that there’s a lot of quantity, but not an overwhelming abundance of quality. With that in mind, the list of titles worth playing will likely be higher for others. Of course, that list would be much higher if I hadn’t already played the other games that are up my alley. After browsing through the entire list of games, I selected about 15 that stood out as worth trying.

Yet, there are a lot of choices that are less than desirable. This is ideal for those (myself included) that are having “ Gaming ADD”. Especially with more AAA titles being added and teased for the future. With over 800 games to choose from, the amount of content is impressive.
