CES 2014: Sony unveils new cloud-based gaming service2014-01-07 15:41 by DanielaTags: Sony
Sony unveiled a new cloud-based gaming service called PlayStation Now. It will use Gaikai, the cloud-powered gaming infrastructure that Sony acquired in July 2012 for $380 million, to serve up games instantly via the Internet to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and Sony Bravia television sets, smartphones, and tablets. The service will stream full games, acccording to the company, and save users' games in the cloud. Players will be able to rent games one at a time, but it will also feature a subscription model that will likely give players access to a huge library for a monthly or annual rate. Sony did not provide pricing info at the presentation. The company plans to start a closed beta of PlayStation Now in the U.S. by the end of this month. It will roll out the service in full this summer. At first, the streaming program will only feature PlayStation 3 games, but Sony could add older games in the future. Read more -here-
