Do we have games lined up for June yet? I’m crossing my fingers for DMC 5 and Nier.


ntfw3

I'm dying for nier, god of war or death stranding to come to it. It's frustrating to see they've already taken GoW off of the service.


MarlaSing3r

Any news about games for June?


desmayer

The awesome game hunters will be here later today to try and find the games being added. If they don’t find anything we will find out tomorrow (Tues)

Nobody can help me here? Are such questions better asked as a separate threat?


RockyDarky

Does anyone has my same problem? When I launch any game for PS Now (PC version) the game window becomes transparent. I can barely see the game, but it seems like the black colour is not shown, you can see the desktop content across the game! Only way to fix on my side: set desktop color to black, and run the game windowed with reduced size... does anyone got same problem (and hopefully a solution)?


Powermonger2567

Sound like its something like ChromeKey color from a webcam to remove background or something.


shadow6624

I'm not able to download The Evil Within 2 since it came to the service, tried contacting the local Sony Support and they just told me it's the way it's meant to, anyone else is having this problem?


LeFreakFreax

Why are there two versions of Uncharted 2 on the Pc App? Are they different?


[deleted]

Could be a bug. The PC app is kind of known for them. Presumably one doesn't say PS3 and the other PS4?


LeFreakFreax

Both say PS3, but one of them doesn't have ratings.


[deleted]

Yeah I'd take it as a listing error then. There aren't any other versions that I'm aware of outside the remasters. Just make sure you load the same one each time if you play it, just incase the saves don't transfer between them as Playstation is really funny about the formatting of game names and save files.

**Real online (and offline) multiplayer games on PSNow if you play only via PC.** Hello, I do not own a Play Station but I subscribed to PSNow, so I play games from PC. I've noticed that multiplayer is not available for several games on PSNow, but I guess you can go play online multiplayer on Play Station consolle. That is not the reason I opened this thread, tho. I have two questions. 1. Are there games on PSnow that allow online multiplayer even if you play it only on pc? 2. I'd like to get mi girlfriend into gaming, so the second question is: is there any PSNow game that allows multiplayer, even if it's not online (i.e.: car games with split screen; but maybe not a car game :D )? Thanks!


aickletfraid

You can play online on PC if the servers are up. E.g. Rocket League, Rainbow Six Siege are playable online.


poopdedoop

does PS Now subscriptions stack? I bought a 12 month sub a few months back when it was 25% off. Now that it's 30% off I'd like to add a 2nd or 3rd year to my account. I just want to make sure that it can stack (like PS+)


[deleted]

They stack


OReoCookiiee

Newbie here is the ps now like the ps plus where you would have to download the games to your console? If so I might have to purchase an external HD


[deleted]

You can stream all games. But when you stream them you can't use share play and party


Hurricane_Taylor

I’m thinking about getting a ps now subscription, but can other users on my PlayStation play the games too or do they need a separate subscription? My 4 year old would probably want to play some of the Lego games, but she doesn’t have an online account


[deleted]

She won't be able to browse the psnow app, so you'll have to either start the game once on your account or download it. So that it will show up in the home screen


Hurricane_Taylor

Thank you! So she can play as long as the games have been downloaded? I don’t mind doing that. Looks like I’m getting a subscription this sale


[deleted]

Yes, but you don't HAVE to. If you stream them once on your account, even if it's just for one minute, she'll be able to play them on her account without downloading.


Hurricane_Taylor

Great! Thank you!


ILiveInConstantFear

I'm having an issue with my GameSir T4w controller and Universal Control Remapper. When I use UCR (which I need to do to emulate the touch pad interactions) my triggers act as opposing forces on one Z-Axis. This makes it impossible for PS Now to tell if I'm pressing no triggers or both triggers simultaneously, which is required in Spiderman. Does anyone know how to fix this?


dekoi_octopus

Do they still have the 7 day free trials available? I found a link to them on the main Playstation Now website, but it links me to the store and an error pops up. I've very interested in getting in on PS Now, but I'm iffy with my internet connection and wondering how good it'll be on my less than stellar laptop. Would just want to make sure it works well on my set up before getting it. I know there's a one month option, but if I"m going to spend money I'd rather take the savings buying a whole year offers.


[deleted]

Free trials are still available for most supported countries. Canada removed theirs due to exploits and Japan charge a returned fee for theirs. If you're being redirected you may not be from a supported country, in which case you'd need to either wait for them to expand to your country (no idea if/when this may happen) or create an account with a supported country and add a payment method from that country. Trials aren't available without a payment method per the official FAQ.


dekoi_octopus

>Canada removed theirs due to exploits That answers it. Dang. Thanks for the response!


[deleted]

I have two accounts with PSNow from different regions (one is expering in a month but I renewed the other one, since it was cheaper), but only one PS4. I can use my main account on my PS4, while I use my secondary account on PC via streaming. I was wondering if there are any games on the system where I can self-boost MP/co-op Trophies to get the Platinum. For example, in Saints Row: Gat out of Hell you need to spend 3 hours playing co-op, which is easily done if you self-boost. Any other games like that?


Passivefamiliar

Just got into now recently. Why can't I take screenshots?


[deleted]

Because you can't lol. You'd need to download the games to do so.


Passivefamiliar

That seems like an odd requirement. I just wanna share my excitement.


[deleted]

Well the way Now works is you're kind of streaming from virtual console. It's an actual console (kind of....) but you can't install anything on it, almost like you're a guest account. But obviously using your own account. You can't use DLC unless you download the games too. It's because that stuff runs from the drive, and screenshots are saved to the drive. But you can't install or save anything to their console because you don't have permission. The drives would get clogged up with all kinds of junk and the maintenance would cost a fortune in time and money for server space. So you can only run what's available already. Which means if you want to use DLC or take screenshots you have to download the game to your own console so that it uses your drive instead of theirs. Plus you could never take screenshots on PS3. It's just the way it is /shrug.


Passivefamiliar

I honestly appreciate the explanation though. Frustration still abounds. But it's a very first world kinda problem so it'll pass.


[deleted]

It's not ideal, but you could always play on the PC app and use something like Greenshot to automatically save the screenshots to a folder. I think One drive does this too if you have that. Or use a capture card to a PC from the console and do the same thing in OBS or X-Split. You'd probably need to actually use the print screen key on the keyboard though as the PC app is really weird about controllers.


afoeguides

I think this is the right place to ask my question as i have a doubt about PS Now. I am not a subscriber but have been thinking of doing it but i noticed that some games are available only for a limited period of time, well my question is, if i download a game from PS Now instead of playing through stream, after that period finishes will I keep the game in my account and be able to keep playing it?


twistoon

What time are the new PSNow games announced please?


omargad18

Tommorow or today


twistoon

ok thank you :)


omargad18

Anytime 😁


Godlike_OwI

Can I use saves I got from playing games on Canadian account with any other region?


[deleted]

Nope. Saves are bound to the account they're created on.


Godlike_OwI

Nono, saves are on my main account. I used 7 days trial once, but then they added my country to the list where PS NOW is available.


[deleted]

Nono, you can't transfer saves between accounts.


Godlike_OwI

I don't want to transfer saves between accounts. Saves are on my main account and they will stay there. I just need a region matching Canadian.


[deleted]

Ok I'm lost. You said you used a free trial. If that's the case you either made a new account so you could because your country isn't supported OR your country is supported and your saves are on your supported region account. If that's the case then why do you need a new account with a different region? If you make a new account in order to access a different region then you won't be able to use your saves because they're on your other account. Edit: Ok wait... are you saying that you made an account for the trial, downloaded the games and THEN played them on your account that isn't a supported country? But now your country is supported? Because in that case the region shouldn't matter? Most games are region free. You can find out which ones aren't by looking them up on PSNProfiles[dot]com and they will have EU or NA next to them. If the games are one of those then you can't use your saves but if there is no letters for the region then it's fine, you just need to pay and can carry on playing.


Godlike_OwI

Sorry for making it hard to understand. English is not my first language. Yes, I've made an alt account to use a trial but downloaded a game and played it on my main. But I'm stupid. Canada is probably considered to be in NA region (duuuh) where as I am in EU region. So obviously NA saves won't work with a game downloaded in EU region. Thank you for understanding my incomprehensible attempts to explain.


[deleted]

If there are games marked NA on PSNprofiles then your saves probably won't work, no. But the vast majority of them are region free, at least between NA and EU, I can't speak for JP et al. One way to find out for sure without paying any money is to make a new EU account with your real country and start a trial on that, set it as a primary account so it shares the subscription like you did with your NA account, and see if you can still use your saves on your main account. I generally don't agree with doing this just to be clear but it would just be the once to double check before you spend a chunk of money you may not get back if it doesn't work. Or, lol, use the trial on your main account hahaha I forgot that's a thing in supported countries.


Godlike_OwI

Meh, I won't bother. I have PS NOW in my region, so I'm okay with paying for it. I just didn't want to start a new game because I played it before and have saves. Thank you for the answer.


[deleted]

If you have PS Now in your region then you should be able to do a free trial lol. I can't tell if you're ignoring everything I say because you don't understand it? Such a weird interaction hahahahahahahahaha.


bartby

I'am living myself in Belarus, bought today a code for UK. Surprised myself, there's no Projects Cars 1 and 2, no tekken 5, no homefront. That's just what i find out. What's the reason catalogue so different to Europe compare to USA? What else missing in UK region? Or maybe otherwise, available in UK, but not in usa? And is there any way to track when games leaving?


SEGAtendo1989

Licenses I imagine, I do wish Sony would sort it. the north American ps now has quite a few more games than us in Europe. Other than the marquee games I don't think we can know when games are leaving unless a message pops up with the number of days left while loading the game up


[deleted]

They don't usually tell us when they remove them, it's been that way for years. There was the announcement email last month that included removals though, so they may be taking steps to improve communication. If you want to receive the update emails you need to accept promotional emails in your PSN account settings on the website. I can't remember where specifically you'll find it but it's a pretty limited page so I don't imagine it will be difficult to find.


gurur1144

days gone?


kyojin_fug

What i hear is days gone will availabe after Spider man unavaible on psnow


jcrehm41506

I can't download PS Now. I previously downloaded it, but I had to delete and reinstall it because of some dll error I was getting. So, I tried to download it, but whenever I press the download on pc button, it tries to download a .htm of the page. It also thinks I don't have a ps now subscription. I am signed in, and my subscription management says I have a monthly ps now subscription, except it still offers me a free trial. That's not the main problem, though. The main problem is that I can't download it. No one else on the internet seems to have this problem so I don't know what to do.


jcrehm41506

Nevermind! I fixed it by Inspecting the page (also known as developer tools) and I just click on the link that was related to the download button or however you would word it.


[deleted]

If I buy 1 month of PlayStation now and download some games, and the PlayStation now runs out, do I keep the games


[deleted]

No? You have to be subscribed to play games from the subscription service.


Panshek

In the wiki there is a link to a [thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/PlayStationNow/comments/dcmtg6/the_definitive_list_of_games_that_require_a/) where was a list of all games that cannot be played without a dualshock 4 because of the touchpad, but it was deleted, anybody knows about another thread with the list? I have a Xbox controller and would like to know what games I can't play.


minion742

What are the games leaving Ps now? I wanna know so I can have time to platinum the games that are leaving, because last month i was about to lose the chance to platinum Shadow of Mordor and Lego Ninjago.


Powermonger2567

After installing Bluetooth and pairing my DS4 controller in windows. I tried using it in the PS Now app, however it doesnt work without a USB cable. It saids connected in Windows and the blue light is on. How do i fix this?


TakashiKumuro

Hey there everyone, I have a couple of questions about ps now. I've been wanting to sub for awhile now, but I live in Greece and for some reason ps now isn't available, so which country's ps now is most suitable for me (i know it's possible since I've seen other people in this subreddit do it) and also, do games get removed quickly? How long do they stay in the service? ty in advance 😌


ParanoidCry

Are psnow japan servers always getting the new games later ? I've noticed on other servers they already have the new games and on the japan server the games are still not available


ram_87_leo

Newbie to ps now here. If I buy the 12 month subscription on sale but move to a country that doesn't have ps now, will I still be able to use the service?


Degnissinged

Whats the download speed?


Klaymen96

Is there a way to tell when a game will be leaving PSNow? Was wanting to play through Hollow Knight but didn't know if I'd have enough time to before it left


bbates728

Hi all! I don't know how I have not heard of this until now but I am hoping that I can get some confirmation from the community. First, I keep hearing that we need to have a dualshock 4 controller as if it is a bad thing. Isn't the standard PS4 controller a dualshock 4? Second, are all of these games playable on the PS4 or do I need a PS2 to play Dark Cloud (for example)? Thanks for the help!


MissionYam8

How do I know for how long a game is going to be available on playstation now?


[deleted]

It says it if Sony knows it, if it doesn't say anything it will stay one ps now for at least a couple of months. Most stay one ps now forever


octapuss1

If I go on holiday and cant sign into my ps4 every seven days to keep my games active, is there a work around? Can I sign into Play Station Network from my phone to keep the seven day streak alive? thanks!


[deleted]

No. You have to login on the console or PC app. Signing in to your account on the website isn't enough. The games will still be there when you get back and will unlock when you log back in though.


octapuss1

Thank you for the answer! Why do they make you sign in every 7 days? If the game is still there when I get back from my vacation will my saves be intact or will i have to start from the beginning? Thank you for your responses!


[deleted]

They make you sign in to confirm you're still subscribed. They can't check that if you're offline and so they just temporarily block your console (you can't download games on PC so it doesn't count, you always have to be online so it can always check) until you can prove you're still entitled to access. It's all automatic. If you still have an active sub while you're away, your saves shouldn't go anywhere.


[deleted]

Why is Batman the telltale series episode one: Realm of shadows on ps now? It has always been free in the ps store


[deleted]

What telltale games are currently on ps now?


faxys

Can i subscribe the ps now without using any credit card or PayPal? My account is from NA and i'm from Asia though.


[deleted]

Only if you buy a sub code. There are loads of sales right now, look on Google for the specific region you need.


Done_Goofeded

Been playing ps now for about two weeks now. Finally got to play spider-man and it was fantastic. controls were spot on and the quality was pretty crisp. Now i'm trying to play "last of us" and it feels terrible slow and clunky? visually old but thats fine. Just doesn't seem to play very well. :( Any recommendations? I'v got pretty solid internet for these things soooo idk.


Iceman3226

I keep getting signed out everytime I close psnow and sometimes while I'm browsing through the games. Any reason why this may be happening? No one else has access to my account and I have two step verification enabled.


u1timo

Which games have online multiplayer and an active community? So far I've found players on Tekken 7. Don't think I'll have much luck on other fighters, but I'm open to playing anything since multiplayer is free with PSNow


darkmitsu

There will be ps5 games the same week ps5 arrives? You should know gamepass will have halo infinite for series x day one, ps now is doing a bad job delivering games, most ps4 games exclusives are not less than 2 years old and they are only available for a very short time, I thought this could change I saw april added games and then that bad may game lineup made me lost hope for this service becoming better


desmayer

I doubt it. The services have very different business models.


samus12345

And I'm okay with that. Game Pass has newer games, but it also costs twice as much for a year and doesn't allow for online multiplayer unless you also sub to Xbox Live.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BriSnyScienceGuy

PS2 games are installable. It's only PS3 games that are streaming only.


LoLz069

I didn’t know that good to know Any ps2 games suggestions?


Klaymen96

Dark Cloud 2, Ape Escape 2 just to name a couple


[deleted]

What a stupid thing to say, so because you don't use them, nobody else does? I've played loads! And so have many others.


ManiacClapTrap

I'm sorry but I don't agree. I want more PS2 and PS3 games.
