Sony announces Playstation Now

Sony Computer Entertainment has announced that PlayStation Now, the company's streaming game service that leverages cloud-based technology, will become officially available in the United States this summer.

PS Now will deliver a variety of popular PlayStation 3 game titles first on PlayStation4 and PS3 systems, followed by the PlayStation Vita system.

In addition to PlayStation platforms, most 2014 U.S. models of Sony's BRAVIA TV lineup will support PS Now. Eventually the service will expand beyond PlayStation platforms and Sony devices, allowing users to stream PlayStation games on numerous other Internet-connected devices.

PS Now aims to enable users to instantly enjoy a wide range of full games on the Internet-connected electronics devices. PS Now will offer choice to gamers with how they want to access content. Gamers can rent by title for specific games they are interested in, or they can choose a subscription that delivers additional value with the ability to explore and play many games available across a wide variety of genres. In addition, the service will support many popular features such as online multi-player, Trophies, and messages.

Prior to the official launch, SCE will begin a beta program on PS3 systems in certain regions of the United States from the end of January.
