Best answer: Sony is very clear; there is no Remote Play compatibility on PlayStation Now. You are unable to stream any PlayStation Now content to your phone via Remote Play. What is PlayStation Now? PlayStation Now (PS Now) is Sony's game streaming service. For around $60 a year, you can stream over 800 PS4, PS3, and PS2 games directly to your PS4 or PS5 or download hundreds of games to use offline on a console. All of these games can also be streamed to PC. That's a pretty good selection for a little under $5 a month.

Don't fear the reaper. When the PS5 released late last year, it arrived with a couple of cross-gen releases, a very pretty remake of a 10-year-old game, and an adorable platformer tucked away in the system's memory. But once the dust settled and the newness of the console started to fade, many wondered when the first real next-gen game would arrive for the system — the flagship title that would showcase what the PS5 is capable of. Not just from a technical standpoint, but in its gameplay, sound, story — the whole package. Almost five months into the new year, it's looking like we have to turn to Returnal for answers. This roguelike is the first major PS5 release of the year so there is a lot riding on its shoulders. Not only was it bound to set the standard for next-gen releases, but it had a lot to prove as a new IP amidst news of Sony's focus on blockbusters and reluctance to greenlight new projects . When I first started up Returnal, I thought I knew what to

The common denominator that you'll constantly see me compare it to is Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft's all-encompassing game subscription service. This time around, I'll be discussing how PS Now should take a page from Game Pass's playbook and become the perfect place for indies to thrive on PS5 . Indie games can be tough to market and even harder to sell. Indie games can be tough to market and even harder to sell. They don't have the same type of money behind them as AAA titles do, and many depend on word of mouth to make sales. The fewer people that play your game, the fewer people you have talking about it. But with a subscription service, it's easier to take a c

PS5 stock is selling out fast so be sure to have your credit card ready. Looking buy a PS5 ? Well, so do millions of other people and the stock levels that we've seen so far are tight.
