PlayStation Plus PC App Will Go Offline December 10, as Sony Continues to Retreat From PC
Outside of the few games that Sony has ported to Windows, the PlayStation Plus app on PC was the best way to play PS5 games on PC, even if you had to stream them. But now, Sony will be retiring the PlayStation Plus PC app.
Sony is phasing out the PlayStation Plus PC app as of December 10, citing limited usage by a mere 0.4% of PlayStation Plus Premium users. This move is aimed at concentrating resources on enhancing console experiences. The decision follows Sony's retreat from releasing PC ports of PlayStation exclusives, deeming them "inconsistent" and unprofitable.
The PlayStation Plus app on PC, which enabled streaming of PS5 games on PCs, will no longer be available. This change comes at a time when consoles are becoming more expensive, with the PS5 Pro costing around $1,559 on Amazon. Cloud streaming, once a flexible option, is becoming increasingly significant. While Microsoft's Xbox Cloud Streaming imposes a 15-hour time limit for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, Nvidia's GeForce Now offers more generous 100-hour monthly limits.
