In a post talking about how PlayStation VR Worlds will work, Sony included a photo of the upcoming VR game. If you hover over the image, the alt-text that pops up reads “PS Now on PC Announce Post by PlayStation Europe, on Flickr.”
While still not technically confirmed, seeing a post on an official Sony blog mentioning a rumored announcement is a pretty clear indication of what’s to come. The formal announcement is likely to come at the PlayStation Meeting event in New York on Sept. 7, but could be coming as soon as later today. Alongside the PS Now on PC news, Sony will probably reveal two new consoles at the event.
For those that don’t know, PS Now is a subscription service that allows gamers to stream PS3 games to PS4 and soon PC. The service could be used to stream PS4, PS2 and other PlayStation games in the future, but right now only features PS3 games. Subscribing to the service will set you back $100 a year.
So what do you think? Are you interested in the prospect of playing PS3 games on your PC? Do you want to see other games getting added to the service outside of PS3 games? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
