An open beta of Sony’s upcoming service, PlayStation™Now, will begin for PS4 users on July 31st. It will be followed by PlayStation®3, PlayStation®Vita, and PlayStation®TV at a later date.
At the start of the open beta, over a 100 titles covering a wide range of genres will be available from SCE Worldwide Studios (SCE WWS) and the industry’s best software developers and publishers. SCE will work with its publishing partners to test various rental periods and prices, depending on how and when players would like to game. For example, there will be shorter rental periods priced as low as US$2.99, and most titles will be between US$2.99 and US$19.99. As with all content published on PlayStation platforms, publishers and developers will ultimately decide their game price points. Furthermore, SCE plans to offer subscription options in the future.
Subscription prices can only be speculated at this point, but we imagine yearly subs could run $59.99-$99.99 annually for unlimited access to all titles available during that period.
