But if you do opt to stream PS4 games on your TV or PC and have the speeds to handle it, this is a great addition. For most PS3 games, which didn’t even hit that resolution in the first place, it won’t matter much. As of April, it upped the resolution that you can stream some games at to a full 1080p, where 720p used to be the limit. While Sony seems to have stopped adding PS3 titles to the catalog of PS Now games, it hasn’t stopped trying to improve the streaming aspect of its service. Am I playing fighting games or twitch shooters online? No, of course not, but platformers, third-person shooters, and especially JRGPs are either good enough or great. I have moved since I first tested it, and with my new internet, which is only about 100Mbps down, by the way, most games actually play just fine.

That being said, I will fully admit that if your primary reason for looking into PS Now is to only play PS3 titles, use the trial first to see how streaming works for you. Would it be possible to ever make PS3 games downloadable? I have no idea, but it doesn’t seem like it will happen even if it could at this point in time. I tested it out, felt too much delay on my inputs, and didn’t sign up. That’s why I didn’t sign up for PS Now when it only offered streaming. It’s always going to be dependent on your individual internet connection based on what’s available and where you live. First, this is a problem with all game streaming services. There’s one thing that critics point to, and with good reason, as to why PS Now isn’t all that great.
