游戏(Game)流媒体服务越来越受欢迎，但很少有Xbox Games Pass的影响。索尼(Sony)试图与PlayStation Now 竞争，但该服务的初始版本还有很多不足之处。在高价位(price point)、性能问题和较小的库之间，PlayStation Now 受到了批评。
近年来，PlayStation Now 服务发生了变化。这些变化让人们重新评估PlayStation Now是否值得。在(Between)改进的库、降低的价格和巨大的性能改进之间，PlayStation Now 绝对值得。
如果你是某种类型的玩家，那就是。这篇评论着眼于 PlayStation Now 的游戏库(game library)、性能等，以帮助您决定是否值得自己尝试。
PlayStation 现在拥有超过 800 款游戏(PlayStation Now Has Over 800 Games)
PlayStation Now 拥有PS2、PS3和PS4 时代(PS4 era)的游戏。对于想要从过去的游戏机中探索经典游戏的玩家来说，这是一个不错的选择。PlayStation 2和PlayStation 3游戏只能通过流媒体获得，但对服务的更改减少了之前导致许多游戏无法播放的延迟。
凭借足够强大的连接，您几乎可以畅玩任何游戏，而不会出现延迟。即使您的连接不是(connection isn)很好，像Dark Cloud 2这样的游戏也可以完美播放，即使有一点延迟。您只想避开射手，因为这些方面的滞后可能会导致射门无法注册。
游戏集合每个月都会更新，但旧游戏的选择有点少。PlayStation 2的游戏特别有限，但有几款主要游戏值得一试，包括Harvest Moon : A Wonderful Life 和 Red Faction(Life and Red Faction)。
PlayStation 3游戏包括多个角色扮演游戏，包括来自(RPGs)工作室系列(Atelier series)和蝙蝠侠(Batman)：阿卡姆疯人院三部曲(Arkham Asylum trilogy)的条目，以及生化奇兵(BioShock)。
PlayStation 4在这项服务中占主导地位，但对于想要玩可能已经有几年历史的现代游戏的游戏玩家来说，这通常是加号栏中的一个标记。PlayStation Now 已开始在有限的时间内推出更新的游戏，让订阅者可以查看Metro Exodus 和 Just Cause(Metro Exodus and Just Cause) 4 等游戏。
如果您的连接不是(connection isn)很好，但您想尝试PS4游戏，那么有个好消息：您可以将它们直接下载到您的硬盘驱动器并毫无延迟地播放它们。不过，此选项仅适用于PS4游戏。
您可以将 PlayStation Now 游戏串流到 PC(You Can Stream PlayStation Now Games To PC)
如果您是PC 玩家(PC player)，但您想了解PlayStation游戏的大惊小怪，您现在可以将PlayStation Now 游戏流式传输到 PC。这是体验您以前可能错过的游戏的好方法。但是，您需要一个兼容的控制器（最好是DualShock 4）来玩游戏。
PS Now 的最低推荐速度是 5 Mbps 的下载(Mbps download)速度，但越快越好。确保您的 ping 也尽可能少。尝试使用以太网电缆(Ethernet cable)建立直接连接以减少延迟。
PlayStation Now Is $9.99 Per Month
此前，PS Now 每月收费 19.99 美元。虽然这不一定是一个糟糕的价格点(price point)，但其他流媒体服务的收费更低。Xbox Games Pass主机版每月收费 9.99 美元，主机版和 PC 版(console and PC version)每月收费 14.99 美元。
考虑到这一点，索尼(Sony)调整了价格点(price point)，现在 PS Now 每月只需 9.99 美元，使其对游戏玩家更具吸引力。它还为玩家提供了 7 天的免费试用期，以试用该服务并自行决定是否值得保留。
PlayStation 现在值得吗？(Is PlayStation Now Worth It?)
如果你在一年前就问过这个问题，答案将是响亮的“不”。现在呢？索尼在去年(Sony)10 月(October)下调了这项服务的价格，并加大了向该服务添加游戏的力度。每个月，PlayStation Now 都会变得更好。
虽然与Xbox Games Pass竞争还有很长的路要走，但PlayStation Now 正走在正确的道路上。如果库继续增长并变得更加策划（很像Games Pass 库(Games Pass library)），PS Now 将成为必备流媒体服务(streaming service)的竞争者。
如果没有别的，免费试用值得一试。不需要太多。您只需要一个带有注册付款方式的PlayStation Network 帐户、一个(PlayStation Network account)DualShock 4控制器、一个有效的 PS Now 订阅（或免费试用）和一个有效的宽带连接(broadband connection)。试一试 7 天，看看你的想法。
如果你想毫无负担地玩PS2、PS3和PS4游戏，那么PlayStation Now 绝对值得。
Is PlayStation Now Worth It?
Game streaming services haνe grown in popularity, but few have thе impact of Xbox Games Paѕs. Sony tried to compete with PlayStation Now, but the initial version of the service left a lot tо be desired. Between the hіgh pricе рoint, performance issues, and smaller library, PlayStation Now hаd its share of critics.
The PlayStation Now service has seen changes in recent years. These changes have made people re-evaluate whether PlayStation Now is worth it. Between an improved library, lowered price, and huge performance improvements, PlayStation Now is definitely worth it.
If you are a certain kind of player, that is. This review looks at the game library, performance, and more of PlayStation Now to help you decide whether it is worth trying out for yourself or not.
PlayStation Now Has Over 800 Games
PlayStation Now has games from the PS2, PS3, and PS4 era. It’s a great choice for players that want to explore classic titles from past consoles. The PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 games are only available via streaming, but changes to the service have reduced the lag that previously rendered many of the games unplayable.
With a strong enough connection, you can play almost any title without lag getting in your way. Even if your connection isn’t great, titles like Dark Cloud 2 are perfectly playable even with a bit of lag. You’ll just want to avoid shooters, as the lag on those can cause shots not to register.
The collection of games is updated each month, but the pickings for older games is a bit slim. The PlayStation 2 titles are particularly limited, but there are several major games worth checking out including Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life and Red Faction.
The PlayStation 3 titles include several RPGs including entries from the Atelier series and the Batman: Arkham Asylum trilogy, as well as BioShock.
The PlayStation 4 dominates the service, but that is often a mark in the plus column for gamers that want to play modern games that may be a few years old. PlayStation Now has begun to carry much newer games for a limited time, allowing subscribers to check out titles like Metro Exodus and Just Cause 4.
If your connection isn’t great but you want to try out the PS4 titles, there’s good news: You can download them directly to your hard drive and play them without any lag at all. This option is only available for PS4 games, though.
You Can Stream PlayStation Now Games To PC
If you are a PC player but you want to see what the fuss is all about with PlayStation games, you can now stream PlayStation Now games to PC. It’s a great way to experience titles you might have missed before. You’ll need a compatible controller (preferably a DualShock 4) to play the games, however.
The minimum recommended speed for PS Now is a 5 Mbps download speed, but faster is better. Make sure you have as little ping as possible, as well. Try to use an Ethernet cable to establish a direct connection to reduce lag.
PlayStation Now Is $9.99 Per Month
Previously, PS Now charged $19.99 per month. Though that isn’t necessarily a bad price point, other streaming services charge less. Xbox Games Pass only charges $9.99 per month for the console version and $14.99 for the console and PC version.
With that in mind, Sony adjusted their price point and now charges only $9.99 per month for PS Now, making it a much more attractive prospect for gamers. It also gives players a seven-day free trial to try the service out and decide for themselves if it’s worth keeping.
Is PlayStation Now Worth It?
If you had asked this question even a year ago, the answer would have been a resounding “no.” Now, though? Sony slashed the price of the service in October of last year and has ramped up the addition of games to the service. Each month, PlayStation Now gets a little better.
While it’s still a long way from competing with Xbox Games Pass, PlayStation Now is on the right path. If the library continues to grow and becomes more curated (much like the Games Pass library), PS Now will be a contender for a must-have streaming service.
The free trial makes it worth checking out, if nothing else. It doesn’t take much. All you need is a PlayStation Network account with a registered form of payment, a DualShock 4 controller, an active PS Now subscription (or the free trial), and an active broadband connection. Give it a shot for seven days and see what you think.
If you want to play PS2, PS3, and PS4 games with no commitment, then PlayStation Now is definitely worth it.
