The range of devices that work with Sony’s PlayStation Now game streaming service is going to shrink. It has announced support for all platforms other than the PlayStation 4 and PC will be dropped. This means Now is going to depart the PS3, PS Vita, PS TV, Sony Bravia TV models, Sony Blu-ray players, and Samsung TV models.
Sony says this change will go into effect on August 15, 2017. Though 2016 Sony Bravia TVs will lose access on April 1.
PlayStation Now launched in January 2015 on the PS4 and was expanded to the PS3 in May 2015. It eventually launched on other platforms.
After thoughtful consideration, we decided to shift our focus and resources to PS4 and Windows PC to further develop and improve the user experience on these two devices. This move puts us in the best position to grow the service even further. – Brian Dunn, senior marketing manager, PlayStation Now
