Sony has revealed that it'll be bringing its cloud streaming services to additional regions across Europe. Previously, PlayStation Now was unavailable in various countries, but with the launch of the overhauled PS Plus in June, the following regions are being added to the list:
- Bulgaria
- Croatia
- Czech Republic
- Greece
- Hungary
- Malta
- Poland
- Republic of Cyprus
- Romania
- Slovakia
- Slovenia
Sony says that PS Plus Premium — the subscription's most expensive offering — will be available in all of these regions at launch. That's specifically Premium, by the way — there's no mention of the middle tier, PS Plus Extra, in the official blog post. That's because PS Plus Extra doesn't offer the cloud streaming functionality that PS Plus Premium adds.
Is your country of residence finally getting cloud streaming on PlayStation? Give us an update in the comments section below.

Having played Daytona on PS NOW it was shocking! Streaming PS3 games was bad so no hope for new games.
Sony need to stomach paying $800M for Gakki years ago was a mistake
Cloud Streaming, Finally? Are you serious?
Sony definitely taking there sweet time with this streaming rollout…
Streaming is bad for the PS3 emulator on PS5. I don’t want the emulator on PS Plus.
I’ve tried streaming on PS Now and it’s bloody awful.
Honestly, I did not care about streaming. Only reason why I owned PS Now in WRONG region is for downloadable titles..
I've tried stream on PS Now and it works great.
@scottdevine48
Actually You are not streaming an emulator at all. You are streaming a physical PS3-like hardware server (with custom firmware)
Hmm I streamed fallout new Vegas without problems.
In fact I had no problems with streaming any game.
Must be the great internet we have in the Netherlands.
I can imagine in other countries things are very different
@SovereignFiber Will I play an emulator on the PS5 without PSPlus, hopefully?
@Ashkorsair
Same here, I think the Netherlands takes a top position in the world for faster internet. But we are a small country so i think it,s easier to make this possible. but I also like streaming. No problem with speed and lags in the Netherlands.
@Luigia @Luigia must be youre internet connection. Because here in the Netherlands we no problem streaming.everyone always says that it is up to Sony. But I'm thinking more of the internet provider.
I hope iz will run great I have 1024 Mbit/s in Croatia
@TommyNL I’m on a gigabit connection and playing Daytona PS3 version was soo blurry it was like an N64.
Playing the game on the XBOX ONE was amazing as it’s a full download. Streaming is fine for music and videos, not games
@Rural-Bandit great comments and streaming on PS NOW is trash.
I dont do streaming so no issue for me ill rather have a disk and update a play on my system as a old man.
@Rural-Bandit Dont they already use Azure. 🤪
I have Daytona on my unplugged PS3 but well hope it runs well in PS5. Want to play FF 13 too
Finally in Romania after more then 5 years of wait.
In Romania we are staring to get 10Gbit/s so yes it make sense...
Finally my country was added!
Is the streaming coming to these regions at the launch of PS Plus Premium or are they supposed to be in? I live in one of these countries and I can't subscribe to PS Now.
Ive never seen issues with streaming and ive always had a now subscription. I download and play everything, i have no need to stream. Its only needed for ps3 titles in the new service, but for some unknown reason I bought a ps5 to play new titles and have zero desire to stream a ps3 title to it.... I must be weird...
@nicugoalkeper Romania had already one of the fastest internet speeds in the world that's not a issue. The problem was there was no Sony PS Now servers around.
Yes but still only now the base of PS4 and PS 5 players make sense for PSNow
Yay, Romania finally. The problem is, most older PS users (PS2 era) here have already had accounts on the UK store since way before the official RO store, so this news brings nothing new.
@Rural-Bandit I prefer digital to stay as a far from my bad for as long as possible. Digital download or streaming i will stay away from it for as long as possible. With great thanks to Limited Run Games. 😁
@Rural-Bandit For me i really would love to see digital away as long as possible. Digital for is selling away the little bit control i have. Preservation of games is as we see it already total nonsense. Its only a new way to control the market but thats my personal opinion /vision. You can have it a thing you like i dont and thats fine. But as long as i have the option i wont buy anything digital if its not needed.
Czech Republic, woohooo!
