Playstation Now streaming subscription 12 month for $59.99 on Amazon (US) [Deal over]
- Thread starter Sense
- Start date
I was about to post the same.
It's usual price is $99 per year but now it's receiving a nice50% 40% discount, taking it to $59 for the whole year.
That is less than $5 per month.
Ahem, 40%. No one saw that.

Will it lag if I subscribe to the US version ? I live in EU and we recently got supported for PS Now in Sweden. I hope anyone from EU has any idea if it works since we have data centers
Update the library! The service was functional enough for me, but it needs some more recent PS4 exclusives. Bloodborne doesn't cut it in 2019.
Maybe a stupid question but would I need a physical PS4 to be eligible for PS Now, or can I just get a subscription on their site and then directly play on PC? This would be significantly less expensive for me than buying a PS4 just for Bloodborne.
In addition to that, how's the performance? Exactly like the base PS4 version or any noticeable lag? I have 400/40 Mbit internet.

That's a damn good price actually. Hell, I'm tempted to buy another year just because it's so cheap.
No, you don't need a PS4. You can download the PC app here.
Performance depends on a number of factors, including your internet, network setup, and how close you are to their servers. Your speeds are fine, but you'll have to see about latency. You can always sign up for the trial first to test things out. And is your PC wired?
I know for me it's fine 99% of the time. Yeah there's a bit of lag, but that's the nature of streaming. It's more than playable though.

Yes you can use it on PC without a need for a PS4 from what i know.
Pretty tempting on that price, gonna have to look through the catalog and see how many I'd actually play within a year
There's a 7 day trial available, credit card required though
You don't need a PS4. Just a PSN account and a subscription (and PS Plus for online features)

Most of the PS4 games on the service are, yeah
It is, you can download the ps2 and ps4 games that are included.
I am pretty sure psnow bypasses the ps plus online requirement (for games through that service).
since i basically buy all their 1st party exclusives, and thats where their systems shine for me (their exclusives), theres literally no value for me here. Also, not many new/recent games
i did get this same deal for gamepass, and stack up like 3 years lol. I feel those are newer games i havent played and all exclusives day 1
Also, if ps5 is backwards compartible as rumored, this might lose some value

Depends how close you are to a node I would assume. Thinking like it's exactly like the base PS4 would be naive.
Dont need a PS4. But why not try the 7 Day free trial to see if it works before dropping $60?
No ps4 required, so you're good to go. PS Now currently only streams at 720p so the quality will be a bit lower than base ps4. As for lag, your mileage will vary but when I tried the 7 day trial I didn't notice any lag at all. I'm on a gigabit connection
They need some better titles on that service, then I'll sub for my PC. I know single player Playststion games have longer legs than others, but if they'd put them on PSNOW sooner then I'd be a lifetime subscriber. Microsoft does it with Game Pass, if Sony did it something like six months after content is done releasing then I'd be all in
Maybe, but there's no way to know unless they do it.

With a PS Now subscription a PS+ subscription is not needed for online play in the PS Now games. In non PS Now games you still need PS+ obviously.
You don't need PS+ to play online, but you still need PS+ to put in/take out your saves in the PS+ save game cloud, which is the only way to transfer between Now and a real PS4
I don't have access to a PS4 right now; I'm assuming that PS+ bypass doesn't hold true if you download the games, right

True, and they don't absolutely need to right now because they're killing it at retail and their own digital storefront, but at least somewhere down the line it's an option.
Yeah I got one. So many PS3 games I want to catch up on but don't want to hook up my PS3, stoked to have a year
I can see them adding their older PS4 exclusives (horizon, uncharted...) today to go with this deal
Sadly I think that's the only thing that will stop those games from hitting streaming. I'm there day 1 if they ever do announce that their exclusives will be hitting the service.
