The PlayStation Plus PC app is shutting down next month

Sony has announced that the PlayStation Plus PC app will be discontinued on December 10th. According to the company, only a tiny fraction of PlayStation Plus Premium members—less than 0.4 percent—have utilized the app. Sony plans to redirect resources towards improving the gaming experiences available to a larger number of subscribers.
