Sony Kills PlayStation PC App Most People Never Heard Of And Only 0.4 Percent Of Players Used
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Sony is discontinuing the PlayStation Plus app on PC, a legacy feature from the PS Now streaming service that allowed subscribers to stream PS3 and PS4 games to computers.
- The cloud-streaming feature was incorporated into the PS Plus Premium tier but saw minimal usage, with only 0.4% of Premium subscribers using the PC app.
- The shutdown will not affect PlayStation Plus memberships or benefits on PS4 and PS5 consoles, and the PC app will be discontinued starting December 10.
- The app's low usage has been attributed to functional issues, such as the requirement for a wired controller and a generally unstable experience, rather than lack of demand for streaming services.
- Some players noted a continued interest in streaming PS Plus games on other platforms, such as Android devices, despite the PC app's discontinuation.
