PS Plus Pulls Plug on PC Streaming After Fewer Than 1% Used It
Push Square • • technology
Key Points:
- Sony will discontinue the ability to stream PlayStation games on PC starting December 10th, citing that less than 0.4% of eligible PS Plus Premium subscribers used the service.
- The PC streaming feature was limited to PS4 and PS3 titles and never included PS5 games, and the download pages for the app have already been removed from PlayStation.com.
- Sony stated the decision allows them to focus on enhancing experiences that more members use, while cloud streaming will still be available on PS5, PS4, and PS Portal devices.
- This move aligns with Sony's broader strategy to reduce its presence on PC, including a recent shift away from porting first-party single-player games to the platform.
- Remote Play functionality remains unaffected, and the change primarily impacts a very small portion of PS Plus Premium users who streamed games on PC.
