Playstation Now coming to PC?

PlayStation Now will soon launch on Windows PC, if metatext found in a PlayStation Europe post is accurate. Twitter user Wario64 pointed to the HTML of a recent blog entry that seems to reveal that the game-streaming service is heading to computers.

In a tweet, he highlighted how an image used in an unrelated PlayStation Europe blog post bears the title "PS Now on PC Announce Post." The photo doesn't have that name on Flickr, so it's unclear whether Sony changed it after noticing the gaffe or if the text was edited in directly. We've reached out to the company to confirm.

Lending further credence to PlayStation-PC compatibility is a store listing on Amazon France for a DualShock 4 adaptor. French blog Gamekult also suggested several weeks ago that news of PlayStation Now's PC port would be coming later this month.

PlayStation Now debuted last year as a way for Sony to let players check out last-gen titles for a fee. Subscriptions range from $19.99 per month to a limited-time annual fee of $99.99. PlayStation Now subscribers get access to a number of PlayStation 3 games for a rental period — none of which are playable on its successor the PS4, which lacks backward compatibility.

The service is the only way for PlayStation fans to play older games on their current systems or compatible TVs. Branching out to PC would make it the second time this gen that Sony has embraced the platform; Remote Play for Mac and Windows came to PS4 consoles in an update earlier this year, making the console accessible from computers.
