Playstation games coming to Non-PlayStation platforms
PlayStation games coming to
Non-PlayStation platforms
Over
20 years after the birth of PlayStation, gamers and non gamers alike can now
enjoy a wide variety of PlayStation classics old and new by *renting them
through PlayStation Now and playing them via streaming on the internet, without
the need of owning a PlayStation console,
"We
can reach a broader audience of consumers who may not own a Playstation
console." Masayasu Ito, Executive VP of Sony Computer Entertainment
Last
week Sony announced that they made a deal with Samsung to bring its service of
streaming PlayStation videogames to Samsung Smart TV in 2015, making Samsung
the first company outside Sony itself to obtain a license to use the
PlayStation Now service. PlayStation Now was announced in CES 2014 and is still
in its early days; the service still has room for improvement, and is only
available in the United States and Canada. PlayStation Now offers wide variety
of games, where users can play more than 200 titles, ranging from small games that
everyone can play such Bejeweled 3 to more technically and graphically advanced
and complex games like Mass Effect 2.
In
order to use the PS Now in 2015 on your Samsung Smart TV, all you need is the
Sony application and own a DualShock 4 controller, but not owning the console
will not change the experience for the user, where playing online with friends, saving the
progress of the game by using the cloud and gaining in-game trophies are
available.
*Rental
fees are charged and differ based on the game and the renting time.
