PlayStation Now is Sony’s cloud gaming subscription service, which is designed for fans of the PlayStation family’s huge gaming catalog. Not to be confused with the PlayStation Plus membership club (which has its own separate library of playable titles), PlayStation Now allows users to stream and/or download a vast number of PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4 games on either their PS4 or laptops.
In terms of pricing, PlayStation has revealed that monthly membership is now $9.99, while quarterly membership is $24.99 and yearly membership is $59.99. For reference, monthly used to set you back $19.99 and yearly was an eye-watering $99.99. It’s a substantial discount that could bring more of a playerbase to the service. Certainly, PlayStation is now more competitive with Xbox Game Pass at this price point.
Each month, new games are added to the PlayStation Now library. Here’s what’s available this month:

Horizon Zero Dawn
One of the PS4’s best exclusives comes to PS Now. This brilliant open-world event subverts the expectations of the genre by presenting a rich world bursting with mythology and wonder rather than just an abundance of places to go.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
This fascinating spin-off for the Uncharted franchise may not focus on Nathan Drake, but it most certainly taps into the spirit of the original titles. It’s a wonderful adventure for Uncharted fans everywhere.
Overcooked 2
This brilliant co-op title sees up to four players try to cook some meals in fantastical kitchens in order to save the world. Just be sure to bring along some friends you aren’t afraid to turn into your enemies.
That’s all, folks! We’ll keep this list updated as Sony adds more games to PlayStation Now. Until then, check out what’s free this month on PlayStation Plus! And if you own an Xbox and want to try that console’s on-demand service, check out the list of games coming to Xbox Games Pass this month!
