- 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
As part of the announcement, Sony also revealed a new wirelss USB adaptor to connect a DualShock 4 controller to a Mac or PC. It’ll be available next month for $24.99.
PS Now — which lets you stream hundreds of PS3 games for $19.99 a month — originally debuted on the PlayStation 4, before expanding to other platforms as well, including non-Sony hardware like Samsung smart TVs. PS Now currently features more than 400 games to stream, and while there’s some filler, that also includes big franchises like Ratchet & Clank, Resident Evil, God of War, and Uncharted.
Today’s news means that it’ll be the first time that the likes of Kratos and Nathan Drake grace a PC in playable form.
