Sony announced today that the first PS4 games have been added to its PlayStation Now library. As such, PC gamers can now enjoy some PS4 titles thanks to this service on their platform. However, don’t expect any performance or visual improvements as PlayStation Now does not offer such a thing.
According to Sony, these are the first PS4 games that are added in PlayStation Now’s library.
- Killzone Shadow Fall
- God of War 3 Remastered
- Saints Row IV: Re-Elected
- WWE 2K16
- Tropico 5
- Ultra Street Fighter IV
- F1 2015
- Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition
- Evolve
- MX vs ATV Supercross Encore
- Resogun
- Helldivers
- Broken Age
- Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition
- Grim Fandango Remastered
- Akiba’s Beat
- Castlestorm Definitive Edition
- Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky
- Nidhogg
- Super Mega Baseball
Sony claimed that more PS4 games will be coming this year and next from SIE and other top publishers such as 2K, Aksys, Capcom, Codemasters, Deep Silver, Double Fine, Kalypso, Loot Interactive, MESSHOF, Metalhead, NIS America, Ripstone, SNK, THQ Nordic, XSEED and Zen Studios.
So yeah, even though we won’t get a PC port of God of War 3 or Killzone Shadow Fall, PC gamers can at least give them a go and see what the fuss behind them was all about.
Sony also revealed that it has brought back its $9.99 intro offer for the first month (new subscribers only), and the 1-year subscription for $99.99!

No Bloodborne, no cares given!!!
No 30fps (dipping to sub-20fps in multiplayer) console game with as yet unfixed chronic frame-pacing issues, abysmally slow loading times and laughably poor anti-aliasing?
“No cares given!!!”
As usual devs don’t give two f**ks about fixing console performance, and then peasants say PC games are unoptimized, lul.
Indeed. Even the sainted (by Sony fanboys and shills) Naughty Dog have much to answer for in that regard. For instance, Uncharted 4 drops to 25fps when a few extra alpha effects from on-screen explosions occur. The less said the better about the abysmal performance of The Last of Us and the Uncharted games on PS3. All games that were designed from the ground up and optimised for one console and yet even Naughty Dog understandably couldn’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.
On a semi-related note, Naughty Dog’s Crash Bandicoot has just been released as a remaster on PS4. The dev’ they’ve used has produced a reasonable-looking game but the crappy PS4 hardware limited them to the same comedy 30fps frame-rate that we saw with the original PS1 game 21 years ago. D’oh!
ps4 pro boost mode m8
…which doesn’t magically transform 30fps PS4 games in to 60fps on PS4 Pro in all but maybe a couple of rare instances. PS4 Pro is still crippled by the same crappy AMD Jaguar from PS4 and Xbone albeit with a small overclock.
it resolves the “No 30fps (even worse in busier scenes, dipping to sub-20fps in multiplayer) console game with as yet unfixed chronic frame-pacing issues” which was the biggest issue
Citation needed.
lol
Yeah, I’m gonna hurry on over… /s
– +400 PS3 games officially available on PC
– PS4 games now officially available on PC
– mostly all Xbox console-exclusives by Microsoft Studios officially on PC
– Cemu going from strength to strength
– RPCS3 taking great strides forward
– Xenia still being developed
– Dolphin, PCSX2, nullDC and many more already in existence
B..bu…but… ‘muh exclusives’!
“400 PS3 games officially available on PC”
“PS4 games now officially available on PC”
– maximum resolution: 720p 30fps
– minimum input lag: 300-350ms
– video compression artifact
“mostly all Xbox console-exclusives by Microsoft Studios officially on PC”
LOL… you can buy those games. You hate Windows Store 🙂
“RPCS3, Xenia…”
Red Dead Redemption: 5-15fps on Intel Core i7 🙂
Just buy used PS4 for 150-160 usd… and play games instead of waiting 🙂
Desperate stuff from you as always.
‘Well done you’ for having craftily maintained your quota in shilling for Microsoft on a near daily basis here, though. gg
I understand one of his point though. Most AAA games cannot be played on emulators, RDR being a good example. It’s sad but it is what it is. When emulators will play Last of us/Uncharted/GoW/ or any other console locked franchise (GoW being on pc for 1-4 ik) i’ll be happy but right now we’re far from that and i don’t see why we’re using this as an argument.
Except he didn’t actually make that point you’re saying he did.
As for YOUR claim that “Most AAA games cannot be played on emulators” then that’s patently untrue because the vast overwhelming majority of such games can be played on PC via emulation right now.
If you meant to say ‘current-gen AAA games’ then things would obviously be somewhat different. However, the reality is that there are very few genuinely exclusive games released on consoles nowadays relative to times past.
– PS4 has only a small handful of worthwhile so-called AAA exclusives. Heck, over half of the ‘PS4 games’ listed by this very article are already on PC
– Xbone has next to none and all currently developed Xbone exclusives are only console-exclusives because Microsoft are releasing them on their godawful Win 10 Store as UWP products
– Switch has one single standout system-selling game and it’s not even an exclusive because Nintendo also released it on Wii U which is already emulated on PC courtesy of Cemu
“Switch has one single standout system-selling game”
which is…… because all i see are wi-u ports and a upcoming mario game that looks decent at best.
Zelda BotW, of course. Not that I’m a fan of the Zelda franchise myself, but I digress.
Agreed. Super Mario Odyssey, from all I’ve seen of it thus far, looks little more than Sonic Adventure spin-off set in the Mario universe.
BotW is a wii-u port, and already available on emulators.
I’m well aware of those things and have already stated as such with respect to the latter point.
The upcoming Princess Peach Mushroom Kingdom Twerking Championships game looks like it has potential.
Mario looks fugging bada5s, tell the truth.
Well he did make that point he was just not saying out loud he was just referring to the fact that instead or having a half experience you should get a ps/xb instead for a low price and enjoy games that cannot be played on pc. Worthwhile or not, it is a matter of personnal preference. I will personnally add Horizon Dawn on the list i said earlier, it looks worthwhile. Even though, playing at 30fps hurts my eyes. I don’t know how console players and play hours at 30fps…
This man is a professsional, he is shrill circles around you.
Sp3ctr0 is as ‘pro’ as a PS4 Pro, i.e. not pro at all!
That’s funny.
You can already see how many started hating xbox just because it doesn’t have any more exlcusive.
TBH these people exaggerate the exclusives. For eg- take Legend of Zelda BOTW so many people calling it masterpiece and whatnot, I played it on CEMU although the game is good but it was nothing like all the hype and exaggeration the people made it up to be. At best a 8/10 game for me. Also I don’t know how these people settle for 30fps it’s awful experience.
It’s like games get a pass for being an exclusive and get extra score just for that.
The best part in all these exclusive games is the sheeple’s mentality. They only hype the game IF it is exclusive. Take example of RIME it was hyped as long as it was PS4 exlusive as soon as it dropped being exlcuisve no one cared.
People “hated” Xbone before the abominable thing was even launched thanks to Microsoft’s original plans of ‘always online’ DRM nonsense, the laughable claims of ‘The Power of the Cloud!’, mandatory Kinect 2.0, Larry ‘Major Nelson’ Hryb’s laughably disingenuous talk of ‘special sauce’, its price relative to PS4, how ugly it looks, its weak GPU relative to the far cheaper PS4, etc. The drop-off in the number of exclusives was but another nail in the coffin along the way for an all round terrible product that sold fairly well in pretty much one single country.
Hear, hear. The handful of review critics who dared go off-message were attacked by the hysterical crybabies of the diminishing Nintendo fanboy army. Jim Sterling awarded the game a perfectly respectable 7/10 and yet the Nintendo babies went in to meltdown and like the Sony fanboy response to his fair review of No Man’s Sky they took down his wite with a DDoS attack. This is how truly infantile, nasty and pathetic a good number of these console brand fanboys really are nowadays.
As for console exclusive much hyped AAA games recieving high review ratings from the big name gaming sites then we all know how the quid pro quo works there; The publisher splashes huge amounts of cash in advertising the game at those sites in addition to offering exclusive interviews with the devs, invitations to the dev studio (often paid for), invitation to special press events (often paid for, free gifts often given), early preview code and early review copies. Any reviewer who goes against the grain by highlighting the glaring shortfalls of the game will risk his/her career in consequence of the game’s publisher pulling future advertising spending and/or the aforementioned preferential treatment for the site in question.
Another giveaway sign of shenanigans by the big name sites is that of reviews that consist of the reviewer having written at length describing the game’s many faults whereby one is left with the very clear impression that they thought the game was mediocre at best. However, the review score rating is at least an 8.0/10 which seem completely at odds with the body of the written review. A classic sign of the site editor having been pressured by upper management to up the review score awarded by the person who reviewed the game so as not to risk losing future advertising income from the game’s powerful publisher.
Finally, it’s not solely the big name sites who are guilty of the above. It’s commonplace for the most powerful game publishers to blacklist small sites and lesser known YouTubers who refuse to play ball. Simply put, telling the truth by reviewing games honestly is to put one’s career in jeopardy so it’s perhaps no wonder that some many reviews of AA games read more like advertorials with little or no genuine critique.
I think people hated microsoft for their stupid decisions but they still saw little hope for xbox as it had Halo,sunset overfrive and forza etc. The day microsoft announced all their title will also launch on PC was the day I think people also started losing any hopes for xbox too. They want to see value in their product something that makes it stand out among the competiton but since xbox doesn’t have this anymore, more and more are just either shifting to better experince (PC) or switching the party by going to either sony or nintendo.
no more exclusives on the ps4 they are all going to pc…lmao
no point to buy a ps4 now….lmao
Hello Xbot!
Exclusives have been selling consoles for decades, it’s like their thing, it’s the reason why you buy one over the other, so it all feeds into the cult machine. If you’re an Xbox man, you must worship the Xbox exclusives, because Microsoft does no wrong. If you’re a Sony man, you must worship Horizon Zero Dawn, because IT BE SONY, BRAH.
Nintardo is the worst, since they’ve actually some really good (on a per-case basis) franchises, which people actually want to see do well, only to get disappointed time & time again when instead of making a proper Metroid Prime game, they make a generic piece of sh*t shooter, instead.
i just posted that ps4 exclusives are going to be played on pc now so the ps4 will have no exclusives.if thats what people say about xbox one.
Waiting 4 years to play a PS4 exclusive on PC through a garbage streaming service with a ton of input lag… Have some self respect and just buy a PS4 man. It’s only $300. #HybridMasterRace
How amusing that you personally determine people’s level of self-respect by whether they own a particular Sony product. Hilarious.
You misunderstood him. He said if they used a garbage service they had no self respect. I’m sure he would have said the same thing about an xbox or nintendo service. (or maybe not) That’s how I read it.
“…and the 1-year subscription for $99.99!”
Really shouldn’t have been an exclamation point there dude.
Remember how you built your gaming PC to get away from sh*tty graphics and performance? Now you can experience the games that we, your console overlords, have forced you to play in that manner…now with additional latency and video compression!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3cb9ff59be8ca1f5f78af6f560a5727547b739656b5e8e87ac341dec060d84f3.gif
lol
God of War 3 on PC Master Race? Sign me in. (even I got it for PS3 back in the day…still have it)
Great game, after that got Dante’s Inferno and it looked like cr*p compared to it.
Everyone is bashing this but i kinda like it. I know it won’t be perfect but still this is going to give me the opportunity to play ps games that i would’ve liked to play. 10$/month isn’t expensive if you’re actually using it. Do you also have to pay the games and/or another hidden fee ?
no bloodborne…
and still 30 FPS… so what’s the point?
Check those carefully selected titles, most of which are already on PC and less high profile exclusives on there to stream =P.
Wait, Tropico 5? So we might be able to play more port of PS4 port of a PC game in a very near future. Imagine playing Aurora 4X PS4 port on PC. Exciting times!
The streaming service is awful no matter how good your internet is.
No mouse and keyboard, so, no way.
ha, point 2: Download and install the app on your PC and “choose your subscription”.
lol. No thanks.
Resogun, Killzone and God of War remastered lol… man sonys bringing out them big guns. lol garbage.
when they bring the Gran Tourismo Sport to PC. I’ll give it a go.
No Thanks, Sony is a sh*tty!!!
pass, I’ll be playing PS3 roms in no time
Streaming….LOL.
Tropico 5
LOL can’t wait to play that on my PC its not like i can play the better copy or anything.

Sony é uma merda, essa porra de empresa que criou o Denuvo e agora está tomando no rabo sem vaselina e com areia graças a Baldman, Steampunks, CPY e Volksi, kkkkkkkkkkkk
Chupaaaa Sony, Filhas da Pota.
I’m sorry but some of the best games I’ve played this year were PS4 exclusives (Horizon Zero Dawn and Persona 5). You don’t have to be a hater just because it’s cool. Say what you want about consoles but when it comes to games, sony delivers.
Horizon was another boring open world fetching shiz with no consistency, but nice graphics. Persona 5 is.. well it’s definitely not for everyone.
I bought my ps4 for Uncharted 4 tbh. It was alright, disappointed with the ending though.
so you spent $460 just to play one exclusives?….lmao.save the money and upgrade you rig.
I have a rig that cost me £2700 1.5 years ago thanks.
And i do have other games for it, just saying that was my primary reasoning for buying it.
Wow trolling old Articlmy pc cost 10k and has 4 titan x’s in it.
now that’s a waste of money.
thats what i call skin and crate buying a waste of money.
hzd was boring and tomb raider is much better by far and Persona 5 is a crappy jrpg.
Somehow I trust the hundreds of very high metacritic reviews more than the word of a hater lol.
“Somehow I trust the hundreds of very high metacritic reviews”
…….
Why?
No, seriously; why would you ever do something so stupid?
why would he trust reviews over a hater? Idk, seems you got him on that one. (someone tell me wtf drugs this guy is on)
Can you read, or are you just mentally handicapped? Try throwing some points into reading comprehension, that way you might not come off as a complete troll all the time.
May I please answer that question for him? Pretty please!
Knock yourself out [with laughter, as you do so].
Judging from his reply to you and his past replies to me I’d say it’s mostly the former with a hint of the latter plus him having had a sense of humour bypass. His inability to detect otherwise obviously intended humour may of course be in consequence of a combination of the two things you’ve mentioned.
If he’s just trolling then he’s rather amateurish in doing so.
Whatever the explanation, there’s no need for us or anybody else here to suffer or moderate our comments when the problem is with him.
Nicely put. Agreed.
Good for you!
“Horizon Zero Dawn” really dude lol i own a pro and that game will never touch the piece of plastic but i do own persona 5 and i will say it’s not for every one
Pathetic as f@ck when you see PC games on this list.
streaming…disgusting new
So you pay 100$ for 20$ worth of games and you can’t even own them ?
Why are there even titles in that list that are already available on the PC ? Especially RTS/management type games like tropico…
Why is Evolve on there??
AMD’s life story.
Never signified better than with the PS4 and Xbone range of consoles.
Fanboys period are retarded. Why can’t people just enjoy games for what they are instead of attaching themselves to a company who gives no shizz about them. If you die Sony won’t be at your funeral.
