PlayStation Now, Sony's premium streaming service that brings a host of otherwise console-exclusives to PC, isn't quite Netflix for games, but it comes close. Its latest batch of streamables includes Project Cars, Exile's End, God Eater: Resurrection and (YES!) Bloodborne.
Despite the success of From Software's like-minded ARPG series Dark Souls on desktops, Sony owns the license to Hidetaka Miyazaki's other nightmarish wonder—which means it'll almost certainly remain a PS4-exclusive. The workaround here is PS Now, which lets you stream console-exclusives on PC, assuming you've got a fast enough connection.
PS Now comes with a free seven-day trial, and the PlayStation Blog notes a "summer price promotion" runs from now through September 25. With that, new subscribers can sign up for $9.99 per month, for $29.99 for three months (normally $44.99), or for $99.99 for a full year.
It's worth pointing out that I cancelled my monthly subscription after a couple of months at launch, simply because I wasn't using it. There are some gems on there—a total of 650 PS4, PS3, and PS2 games, so says the PS Blog—but I imagine the main draw for PC players is Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption, and now Bloodborne.
Anyway, if you're interested, PS Now's new faces include:
- Aces of the Luftwaffe
- Alchemic Jousts
- Bard’s Gold
- Bloodborne
- Exile’s End
- God Eater: Resurrection
- Moto Racer 4
- Project Cars
- Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom
- The Dwarves

It's not the Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice 2 I'd hoped for, but Elden Ring: Nightreign might just sate my insatiable hunger for FromSoftware to pick up the pace
FromSoftware's Hidetaka Miyazaki says the studio doesn't 'have any particular plans to develop Elden Ring 2', but that doesn't mean the 'Elden Ring IP' is over
