Sony Adds Five Games To PlayStation Now Service, Including Uncharted 2
If you are a PlayStation Now subscription holder (or simply use the service on a per-rental basis), the library is about to get a bit bigger. Sony has added five new titles that you can start playing tomorrow. February 3.
Each of these games appeared on the PlayStation 3 (though one as an HD remaster). Here’s what you can dip into starting tomorrow:
- Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
- God of War II HD
- Red Faction: Armageddon
- Galaga Legions DX
- Arcana Heart 3
Sony announced and launched the PlayStation Now subscription plan in January. One-month and three-month plans are available, with the latter costing consumers approximately $15 per month.
The subscription program is currently only available on PlayStation 4, though the rental service is also available on PlayStation 3, Vita, and select television models. For more on PlayStation Now, check out a recent analysis of the program following the subscription announcement.

Our Take
Sony needs to ramp up the subscription program across the other devices on which PlayStation Now is available. As for the library, once there is more evidence of regular updates, it’ll be easier to feel confident that a subscription is worthwhile. Right now, with only slightly over 100 games, your mileage will definitely vary.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
