Sony says fewer than 0.4% of eligible Premium members use the app, and closing it will let the company focus on experiences more members want.
Sony will retire its PlayStation Plus cloud-streaming app for PC on 10 December 2026, ending access to games through that app. Cloud streaming lets members play games over the internet without downloading them.
In a blog post quoted by IGN, Sony said fewer than 0.4% of eligible PlayStation Plus Premium members use the PC app. The company said the change would let it focus on improving experiences more members want to use.
The PC service followed PlayStation Now, which streamed PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 games to Windows computers as well as consoles. Games could not be downloaded to a PC through the service. Sony announced the merger of PlayStation Now and PlayStation Plus on 29 March 2022. Sony merged that service into PlayStation Plus Premium in May–June 2022, ending the standalone subscription.
Sony also offers Premium members cloud streaming of select games on PS5 consoles and the PlayStation Portal handheld. On Portal, members can stream select PS5 games from their digital library or the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog even if their PS5 is off or another account is using it. Game availability varies by location and over time.
Portal cloud streaming requires the handheld, an adult account, an active Premium membership and broadband Wi-Fi. The user must also be in a supported country or region and have a PlayStation account registered there.
The producer said his permission to use a talk-box recording on the original song did not cover remixes. The agreement ends his lawsuit permanently; monetary and credit terms were not disclosed.
