Gaming List[edit]

It may be useful to have a List of PS Now games added much like now PS Plus has the List of Instant Game Collection games (North America) article. So far there's 122 titles. Just a suggestion. —KirtZ^Message 00:53, 1 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done now. See List of PlayStation Now games. --Cartakes (talk) 23:29, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Compatible devices[edit]

As officially mentioned in the "Compatible Devices" page of the PlayStation Now website, the compatible devices for PS Now are PS3, PS4, PS Vita, PS TV and Sony TVs, and nothing else. The "Compatible Devices" page of the PlayStation Now website obviously contains the most up-to-date information which this Wikipedia article would base on. Other generic devices (not mentioned in that page) such as "smartphones" should not be added. --216.254.166.81 (talk) 19:57, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is this based on pixel streaming or file streaming? (formerly "BUT HOW DOES IT WORK???")[edit]

seriously can't find anything on the web about this! what's it made of? is it virtual? did sony buy 1000s of old ps3 and there's a dude with a youtube style camera pointed at a tv? wtf is going on?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.167.209.144 (talk) 21:26, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To ask a slightly more well-formed question, what this article is missing is a clarification of whether the mentioned "streaming" is pixel streaming (à la Google Stadia) or file streaming (à la Steam), or both, or some game-dependent mixture of the two. --RobertStar20 (talk) 02:00, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reception?[edit]

Why is there no Reception section in this article? i found a few legit sources that give PlayStation Now mixed reviews Digifan23 (talk) 00:46, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Launch table[edit]

The launch table is a mess. We only need the first, single launch date together with a list of countries the service is available in. — Niche-gamer 19:20, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 1 and 2 is missing?[edit]

When I look up Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 in the PlayStation store, it says it is on PS Now. When I go into PS Now, it is missing. Anyone have any explanations or solutions? 149.137.175.180 (talk) 04:27, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with PlayStation Network?[edit]

This is a relatively small article and about the size of PlayStation Network#PlayStation Now. I think this article would be better suited as a section of PlayStation Network than it's own article, given PlayStation Now is itself part of PlayStation Network and the PlayStation Network article itself is compiled of all of the other PlayStation online services but still doesn't mention anything about PlayStation Now (other than a passing mention in the lead section of the article. —Mythdon (talk • contribs) 16:20, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
