Following a strong PS Plus showing for the month of August with hits likeFall GuysandModern Warfare 2 Campaign: Remastered, Sony is keeping up their momentum with another strong showing, this time for their PS Now service. Announced this morning via aPlayStation Blogpost,Dead Cells,Hitman 2,andGreedfallare joining hundreds of other games on PS Now this month. This lineup certainly makes Sony’s relatively obscure streaming service much more enticing.
First up on Sony’s $9.99 a month service is IO Interactive’s stealth sandboxHitman 2,which is available on PS Now until August 24, 2025. Up next isGreedfall,the enticing action-RPG from Focus Home Interactive, which has no limit set on its PS Now tenure. Rounding out the list is the addictive, fast-paced and challenging action-platforming roguelike,Dead Cells,which also will be leaving the service on June 26, 2025.
The blog post doesn’t feature any information on the release dates of the games on the service, or the form factors in which they’re playable. While the service allows some games to be downloaded, PS2 and PS3 games can’t, but because all three games are PS4 games, it’s likely that they’ll all be able to be downloaded.
Sony still has a long way to go before its streaming subscription service ditches the mixed, confusing messaging around it, but strong gets likeDead CellsandHitman 2certainly help. Compared to Microsoft’s Game Pass, which might become even more relevant, since it’s rumored to be tied into Xbox Live Gold, it still has a long way to go.
Considering next-gen is right around the corner, Sony has a strong chance to bring PS Now into the limelight. What changes do you hope they make? Do these games move the needle on the service for you? Let us know in the comments below this article.
