Sony Announces PlayStation Now Coming To PC And USB Controller Adapter

Sony has announced PlayStation Now game streaming service is coming to PC. The service will be launching first in Europe, with a North American release later on. Also, a Dual Shock 4 USB adapter has been announced. Sony will launch the dongle in September for $25. The dongle can be used for PlayStation Now and PS4 Remote Play on PC and Mac. Here's what your computer needs in order to support PlayStation Now:

Windows 7 (SP1), 8.1 or 10
3.5 GHz Intel Core i3 or 3.8 GHz AMD A10 or faster
300 MB or more; 2 GB or more of RAM
Sound card; USB port
An Internet speeds of 5Mbps (Minimum)


Sony has also said that a Mac support for PS Now many come in the future but there’s nothing to announce at this time. What do you think of Sony doing this ? As long as you have a good internet connection I think this one of the greatness things Sony has done (coming from a guy who travels a lot and doesn’t want to bring his consoles back and forth). Now can we work on those PS Now prices ?
