PlayStation Now is offering the chance to download games instead of streaming them, starting today. The service will allow you to download “almost all PS4 games” included in its library.
“Almost all PS4 games in the service, including Bloodborne, God of War 3 Remastered, NBA 2K16, and Until Dawn, will be available for download, in addition to the PS Now lineup of classic PS2 games remastered for PS4,” says a post on PlayStation Blog.
“Downloaded PS Now games will support all user-purchased DLCs, microtransactions, and add-ons, as well as PS4 Pro enhancements for subscribers using a PS4 Pro system,” reminds the post for the users owning a high end PlayStation 4 console.
“And remember, you do not need a PlayStation Plus membership for online multiplayer on PS Now – which stays the same for both streaming and downloaded games.”
If you’ve already started a game via streaming on PS Now and want to continue playing locally on your PS4, you can transfer your save file from the PS Now cloud to your console with a PS Plus membership.
It’ll be interesting to see whether this move, which is kind of a reaction to Xbox Game Pass, allows Sony to bring PlayStation Now all over the world, considering it is now limited to the United States and few other countries.
