Sony hits us with the two for one combo today. In a single blog post, they announced that PS Now is coming soon to PC and they announced a USB wireless adapter for the DualShock 4.
PS Now allows players to stream some of their favorite PS2 and PS3 games to their PlayStation 4 and soon it will be available on PC. The service will arrive in Europe first and then come to North America shortly after.
Sony recommends the following for running PS Now on your PC.
In the same post, Sony has also announced the upcoming release of the DualShock 4 USB Wireless Adapter for use on the PC! The adapter, arriving in early September, will allow you to play games on your PC with your DualShock 4 without the need to have it plugged in. This is assuming your computer does not already include a Bluetooth adapter.
PS Now allows players to stream some of their favorite PS2 and PS3 games to their PlayStation 4 and soon it will be available on PC. The service will arrive in Europe first and then come to North America shortly after.
This will bring a wide selection of PlayStation exclusive titles to Windows PC for the very first time, including entries in the Uncharted, God of War, and Ratchet & Clank franchises, as well as beloved PS3 games like The Last of Us and Journey. Current subscribers have a new way to access PS Now’s library of over 400 games, and the PC app provides a new way for even more gamers to discover and play the service.
Sony recommends the following for running PS Now on your PC.
- 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
- A minimum of a 5Mbps connection (wired recommended)

We’re also introducing a new device, the DualShock 4 USB Wireless Adaptor, which launches in early September for a suggested retail price of $24.99 ($29.99 CAD). This adaptor will let you connect a DualShock 4 to PC and Mac wirelessly, and will enable every feature of the controller you know and love: buttons, analog sticks, touch pad, light bar, motion sensors, vibration, and stereo headset jack – as long as the gaming application supports these features.
