PlayStation Now Open Beta Available On PlayStation 3
The millions of Sony fans who haven't yet upgraded to PlayStation 4 can now take the company's streaming gaming service for a spin.
According to PlayStation Blog, Sony's ongoing PlayStation Now open beta has now been released for PlayStation 3 in U.S. and parts Canada. The post also announced that the best-selling titles Infamous, God of War: Ascension, and Ultra Street Fighter have been added to PlayStation Now's library of over 150 titles.
Sony will continue to monitor and take feedback on the service, which has had some inconsistencies in pricing, from users over the course of the beta.

Our Take
This is a good step for PlayStation Now. It will be interesting to see how the service performs on less-powerful hardware, especially given Sony's intent for the service to be eventually used in non-gaming electronic devices like smart televisions and tablets.
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.
