Sony has really started pushing PlayStation Now recently, dropping the price of the service and adding blockbuster PlayStation 4 games to its lineup. It comes as no real surprise, then, to hear that the company will be bringing PS Now to the PlayStation 5, which is launching late next year.
In an interview with Japanese publication Famitsu -- as reported by DualShockers -- Sony's Yasuhiro Osaki confirms that the subscription service will make the jump to next-gen.
For those totally out of the loop, PS Now lets users stream select PS2, PS3, and PS4 titles. It also offers full downloads for PS2 and most current-gen games. On PS5, it seems likely that this base functionality will remain in place, seeing as the system is going to be backwards compatible with PS4 software.

Now that's what I call gaming.
"It also offers full downloads for some current-gen games."
No it offers full downloads for every PS2 and PS4 games.
(except maybe 1-2 games)
Off topic kinda but itd be really cool if in the ps5 they have the normal ssd hd but then also an extra empty hd slot where you can simply slide another hd in for extra storage. Kind of an internal external drive.
I have PS Now and enjoy it. Streaming PS3 games is alittle rough sometimes, but if I hardline it they run pretty smooth.
curious to see if PS4 owners will be able to stream PS5 games.
If it offers cloud save maybe I’ll subs to psnow on ps5 instead of psplus (if psnow released on my country).
I still need to give the 7 day trial a try just to see if my internet can stream a game.
Might still get it just to download the PS2 and PS4 games.
Of course. And honestly I'm expecting them to spend the next 12 months really boosting PS Now to the point where when PS5 is released the majority of owners are gonna want PS Now
Attitudes towards streaming have changed noticeably, if only a little, in the past 12 months.
Pretty interesting.
I would subscribe if it was available in my country
im not touching that with a ten foot pole, ever.
@thefirst I had a PS Now commercial in the cinema when I saw Joker earlier this week (Netherlands)
@leucocyte Unlikely, there would be no point in buying a PS5 if PS4 could stream PS5 games thru PSNow.
