PlayStation has confirmed another disappointing development for PC players, announcing that one of its existing services will soon be discontinued. The decision comes as Sony's PlayStation business continues to reassess its approach to PC gaming, raising questions about the company's long-term plans for the platform.
Over the past several years, Sony has made a considerable effort to expand beyond its consoles, bringing major franchises like God of War, Horizon, Marvel's Spider-Man, and The Last of Us to PC. The company also allowed PC players to access certain PlayStation games through cloud streaming, originally offered through PlayStation Now before becoming part of PlayStation Plus Premium. While not incredibly popular, it was still one avenue for subscribers to experience console games without directly purchasing PlayStation hardware, although that is changing very soon.
PlayStation confirms that it is officially pulling the plug on a game that it had been developing for years.
Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation Plus PC application will be discontinued on December 10, 2026, ending cloud streaming support for PC subscribers. The announcement appeared at the bottom of the company's November PlayStation Plus Game Catalog reveal, which otherwise focused on upcoming additions like Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Sony emphasized that the shutdown will not affect PlayStation Plus memberships or benefits on PS5 and PS4, and that affected subscribers will be notified directly.
4% of eligible PlayStation Plus Premium members currently use the PC application, which ultimately factored into the decision. The company explained that discontinuing the service will allow it to focus on improving experiences that more subscribers actually use.
