PlayStation 5: 8 Massive Rumours You Need To Know

3. Is PlayStation Now, PlayStation's Future?

PlayStation Now has been Sony's gift to gamers who love nothing more than a cloud-based game streaming service. It works by you paying Sony money and they'll let you borrow a game for a limited amount of time, in a way, it's a bit like the Netflix of the gaming world. Each game rental will be offered for a cost between £2.99 and £7.99 depending on the title, and PS Now has a monthly subscription with unlimited access for £12.99. For a long time, PlayStation Now was exclusive to the PS4, but that's slowly changed over the last year. Currently, you can find PlayStation Now on the PS3, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation TV, select Sony 2014 and 2015 TVs, Sony Blu-ray players and some Samsung TVs, the latter working by hooking up a DualShock controller. The good thing about this product is that it's expanding, and if you look to the future, then PS Now could be a real contender in streaming world, validating Sony's claims that a diskless platform is a way to go. Sadly, at the moment, PS Now is fairly limited for those using prior generations of consoles, but hopefully this will be resolved by the time the launch of the PS5.
