We’re excited to announce that PlayStation Now is making the jump to Windows PC. The app launches overseas in parts of Europe soon and will come to North America shortly thereafter.
This will bring a wide selection of PlayStation exclusive titles to Windows PC for the very first time, including entries in the Uncharted, God of War, and Ratchet & Clank franchises, as well as beloved PS3 games like The Last of Us and Journey. Current subscribers have a new way to access PS Now’s library of over 400 games, and the PC app provides a new way for even more gamers to discover and play the service.
We’re also introducing a new device, the DualShock 4 USB Wireless Adaptor, which launches in early September for a suggested retail price of $24.99 ($29.99 CAD). This adaptor will let you connect a DualShock 4 to PC and Mac wirelessly, and will enable every feature of the controller you know and love: buttons, analog sticks, touch pad, light bar, motion sensors, vibration, and stereo headset jack – as long as the gaming application supports these features.
The adaptor is a great match for playing PS Now on a computer, but you can also use it for PS4 Remote Play on PC and Mac. If you haven’t yet downloaded Remote Play on your PC or Mac, grab the installer here. Of course, owning the USB Wireless Adaptor isn’t required, as you can connect a DualShock 4 using a USB cable.
Here are the recommended specs for running PS Now on your PC:
- Windows 7 (SP1), 8.1 or 10
- 3.5 GHz Intel Core i3 or 3.8 GHz AMD A10 or faster
- 300 MB or more; 2 GB or more of RAM
- Sound card; USB port
A minimum 5Mbps connection is required to use PS Now on any device. We recommend a wired Internet connection for the optimal experience.
We’ll be in touch to confirm the exact launch date of the PlayStation Now Windows PC app in North America, and stay tuned for some exciting games that will be added to the library.

Why is there no Windows 7 PS4 Remote Play version? Will there ever be one? And what about PS Now, no support for Win 7 either? Windows 7 is still being used by the majority.
Ive been reading the comments and so many people are being trash if you dont like it dont buy it if you do go ahead and if you bring that “xbox usb can support up to 8″oh playstation isnt xbox so if you think xbox is better why are you here
There is mention of enabling the headphone port. Does this include opening up Party/Mic support via remote play?
can you use a PS3 Controller with the USB Adapter
You know, if PlayStation Now were actually selling games I’d be all over this.
If it were letting you play your existing PS3 digital purchases locally on a PC without a subscription I’d be sending my profuse thanks for giving me a replacement for my dead A01 PS3.
As it stands this doesn’t interest me any more than hearing it would be on my Vita.
My PS3 died, I owned (some digital, some physical) all the games I want to play again, and I didn’t buy a PS4 since everything worth playing save possibly Horizon: Zero Dawn (won’t know until I have a chance to play my friend’s copy after launch) and inFamous also came out on PC.
Selling me PlayStation games on the PC would definitely be something I’d be interested in, having me suck up a ton of bandwidth and pay a subscription fee to play games I already own just isn’t something I’m going to be spending money on.
At least I could see it working on the PC, what with gigs upon gigs of storage, the Vita with its tiny 64GB maximum storage doesn’t even have the potential to do this right when I can’t even keep all my actual Vita games on the thing.
Will it come to Europe and if yes when will it come
