Along with the price increase announced yesterday for PlayStation Plus, Sony announced the PlayStation Now service and DualShock 4 adapter are coming to Windows PCs.
Fans in Europe and later in North America will get to try PlayStation Now on Windows PCs, bringing a wide selection of exclusive PlayStation 3 games, the likes of Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, Gran Turismo and other 400+ titles.
With the arrival of the service to PCs, Sony will also offer the DualShock 4 USB Wireless Adapter launching in early September for just US$24.99. Though the newest adapter will let users play games using all the controller’s features wirelessly, it is not really needed since players can connect the controller to the PC with a USB cable.
To play efficiently. gamers will need at least a 5 Mbps broadband connection, and the following PC specs:
- Windows 7 (SP1), 8.1 or 10
- 3.5 GHz Intel Core i3 or 3.8 GHz AMD A10 or faster
- 300 MB or more; 2 GB or more of RAM
- Sound card; USB port
No exact release date has been announced yet for the PlayStation Now Windows PC app in North America.
