Hi all, since January, a growing number of PlayStation fans have been enjoying the Private Beta program for PlayStation Now, our streaming game service launching this summer.



Up until this point, our Private Beta for PS Now has been available on PlayStation 3 systems. We’re pleased to announce that the Private Beta program is expanding and will make its debut on PlayStation 4 systems on May 20. If you’ve registered for the PS Now Private Beta, keep an eye on your mailbox for a voucher code.

PS Now gives you the freedom to play select PS3 games like you already stream movies, TV, shows, and music – directly to your favorite PS Now compatible devices without any discs or downloads. The first supported devices launching in 2014 are PS4, PS3, select 2014 Bravia TVs, and PlayStation Vita, with more devices down the road.

The Private Beta program has been going great so far, and we want to give thanks to the testers that have participated – your valuable feedback is helping us make the service even better. Thus far, Private Beta testers have logged more than 50,000 gameplay hours discovering new games, rediscovering favorites and racking up Trophies!

We are also happy to announce that access to the PS3 Private Beta program will expand to a broader audience in the near future. If you aren’t a member of our Private Beta community yet, click here to register your interest. Please be patient if you’ve already registered but haven’t received an invitation yet. We are inviting more Private Beta testers on a regular basis.

We’re eager to launch PS Now more widely – stay tuned to this blog for more details. And remember, if you’re already in the PS Now Private Beta, we want to hear from you so post feedback / impressions in our private forums.

More coming soon!

Might as well give it a test run to see if it's something I'll actually care about.  I mean, if nothing else, playing PS3/Vita games on PS4 will be cool.

Still waiting for my code.

i have the beta for the ps3 version, so i'm hoping they send me one for the ps4 version as well. Also hope they change the current game rental lineup, because they all suck right now. Most aren't even fun enough to try for trophies.

 

Though i was pleasantly surprised by how well the game streaming worked on the three games i've tried (Sniper Elite V2, Puppeteer, and Ben 10).

"Racking up trophies"

...Now I'm interested.

Sounds like a great feature to look forward to. That being said I tend to opt for physical copies of games where possible so not sure how much use I'd get out of it. Definitely gonna keep my eye on this one tho!
