Our Take
The PlayStation Now library is finally starting to reach a point at which there’s value. The 12-month offer being limited is unfortunate. $8 to $10 per month is a much more reasonable price than $15 to $20 for this service.
If Sony wants to woe gamers at that price, it’s going to need to start broadening that library to include PlayStation 2, PlayStation 4, and even PSP and Vita. Sony seems scattershot with its offerings, though.
PS2 titles becoming available individually for PS4 for $15, nearly the price of a single month of PlayStation Now, doesn’t line up. It also doesn’t give me hope of ever seeing that generation on the streaming service.
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.
