It would have to be built in to remote play for it to be a hit.
Maybe even add a feature that lets you play ps5 games on the cloud if you bought them so they don’t take up storage space

The funniest part is all the gamepass addicts swarming talking about, “no day 1 first party lol’ like you know deep down their lives would be over if sony actually did that. They probably had a heart attack thinking about not being able to scream gamepass anymore:mjlol:

Lot of low iq posts in this thread.

PS Now already existed for quite some time.

Gamepass is all but a name, the service itself isn't new.
And much like anything that doesn't automatically stick, get hype or generate big revenue Sony let's it lingers around until they abandon it or until someone else shows them the way.

PS now was absolutely trash until gamepass started making waves and Sony was like:ohhh: guess we gotta improve this without shooting ourselves in the foot.

And even now PSN and gamepass are only similar in the fact that you can stream and download games.

Everything else gamepass doesn't just surpass it in, it laps it in. From there rotation of games, to therefree HDR and FPS updates of older games.

This is like saying you know cds have been around while people are talking about the quality of DVDs.:francis:

This is bad for business.
How can Sony pay for this?
I rather buy my games?
Who play old Games?
I need to see the number of subscribers.
Who uses the cloud?
No way new releases will be day 1?

:ld: Not trying to hate or nothing...but nikkas is running to play PS1 games like that enough to subscribe? Nobody bought that Mini playstation thing years ago :yeshrug:

Not exactly classics like PS2, SNES or Sega :hubie:but I'm :flabbynsick:

It will have ps1, ps2, ps3, and vita. It already has ps2 and ps3 games now.

And the dopest part is this service already has more subscribers than gamepass:blessed:

You can almost replace Sony in this sentence with anything else and it would still hold true.

Pass. Maybe when they add day one games. Don't need a subscription service to play legacy titles only when I already own a lot of them. Every other subscription service in media of any real value constantly adds newly created content to it.

This sounds like them adding online multiplayer to PS Now and rebranding it.
