Sony Announces End of PlayStation Plus PC Streaming From Next Month

Sony has revealed that it will be discontinuing the PlayStation Plus app on PC in December, which will bring an end to cloud streaming through the service. The announcement was made today via November’s PlayStation Plus blog post, with Sony explaining that the decision follows a review of how subscribers use its services.

According to Sony, less than 0.4% of eligible PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers actually use the PC app, making it a feature that only a very small proportion of its membership takes advantage of. The statement from Sony reads as follows:

“PlayStation believes in providing high-quality experiences to our players, and we regularly review offerings to ensure we are focusing on experiences our members value most. With a very small number of eligible PlayStation Plus Premium members (less than 0.4%) using the PlayStation Plus app on PC, making this change allows us to focus on enhancing high-quality experiences that more of our members want to use. As a result, the PlayStation Plus cloud streaming app on PC will no longer be available.

This change does not affect PlayStation Plus memberships or benefits available on PS5 and PS4 consoles. We appreciate everyone who used the app on PC and will be notifying affected users directly.”

The PlayStation Plus PC app currently allows subscribers to PlayStation Plus Premium to stream supported games directly to their Windows PC, without requiring a console. However, from December 10th, this feature will no longer be available, meaning that players who use the service on PC will no longer be able to play this way.

This announcement only applies to the PlayStation Plus app on PC, and not the subscription as a whole. Whilst this will be a disappointing decision for the small number of players who use the service, Sony are confident that ending the service will allow them to concentrate on features which are more in demand.
