Sony TVs To Include PlayStation Now By June
Sony seems on track with its planned summer 2014 rollout for PlayStation Now. The service, which is now in beta on PlayStation 3, will be coming to some Sony televisions by June.
Sony has announced that its Bravia 4K sets will support the PlayStation Now service. Players will be able to stream content without an external device and use a DualShock 3 for control.
We sampled the PlayStation Now service at CES this January, but the server hosting the content was local. We have not yet had the opportunity to try the service as it will be delivered to end users.
Our Take
The good news about software updates on contemporary televisions is that Sony could potentially miss the June window without impeding the delivery of the hardware. It’s clear the company thinks it will be ready to roll by summer, but it probably has a parachute in case a beta reveals that more testing is required. I’m eager to test the service in real world conditions to see how it fares.
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.
