It's finally happening: As promised earlier this year , Sony is bringing PlayStation 4 games to PlayStation Now subscribers on both Windows PCs and PlayStation 4. The new games, 20 total out of the gate, are due today, July 6.
Here's the starting lineup of the games launched by Sony:
Killzone Shadow Fall
God of War 3
RemasteredSaints Row IV: Re-Elected
WWE 2K16
Tropico 5
Ultra Street Fighter IV
F1 2015
Darksiders II Deathfinitive Edition
Evolve
MX vs ATV Supercross Encore
Resogun, Helldivers
Broken Age
Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition
Grim Fandango Remastered
Akiba’s Beat
Castlestorm Definitive Edition
Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky
Nidhogg
Super Mega Baseball.
They're all older games, as you'd expect from a flat-rate subscription service Sony doesn't want undercutting premiere PlayStation 4 games. "At this point, we're not looking to debut new content in PS Now," says PlayStation Network boss Eric Lempel.
"We do want to continue to promote the PlayStation 4 front line releases and typical software lifecycle. But we also haven't set any firm criteria around when titles can come into the service." In other words, Sony is open to exploring timeframes, he adds.

Sony says additional titles will appear along per its monthly content updates. Subscriptions run $99.99 for 12 months or $19.99 per month, and newcomers can hop on for $9.99 per the first month, then $19.99 per month thereafter. Existing subscribers get the new PlayStation 4 titles immediately at no additional cost.
PS Now is Sony's Netflix-like game streaming service, the heir apparent to once renowned startups like OnLive and Gaikai . Sony bought Gaikai in 2012, spun out its PS Now service (which launched in January 2015), shifted to an all-you-can-play monthly subscription model and now boasts a library of over 500 PlayStation 3 games.
The service has been available on PlayStation 3, PS Vita, PS TV as well as select Sony and Samsung TVs. But as of August 15, 2017, it will be exclusive to Sony's PlayStation 4 as well as any Windows PC.
