Sony’s PlayStation Plus was re-introduced earlier in the year as the replacement for PlayStation Now. It’s most useful if you already have a PlayStation 4 or 5 to pair with it or at least some interest in Sony’s library of games.

The service is still working out the kinks in its offerings for folks coming on from the PC. You will also need an account linked to the PlayStation Network and a compatible controller—preferably the Dualshock 4 wireless controller or the Dualsense.

How’s the library?

PlayStation offers a complete list of the games available on its site, though they’re mostly back catalog titles from prior Sony systems.

Cons

PlayStation Plus is not doing so hot in its current state. There aren’t many demos to try out, and the library remains limited. The streams also top out at 1080p.

Pricing

Starts at $18/month if you want streaming access, with deals if you pay annually
