    • PlayStation Now (PS Now) is a cloud gaming service developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. The platform allows users to pay for access to a selection of original PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 titles on either a per-game basis or via a subscription, with rumors of offering PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable titles in the future. Non-PlayStation devices will need a DualShock 3 or 4 controller for the service, as Sony believes that the games have been designed and best played with the DualShock interface in mind, while PlayStation brand devices can use their respective native game controllers. Sony also recommends that players have a 5 Mbps internet connection at least to achieve what they consider good performance. To implement the service Sony created a single motherboard equivalent to 8 PS3 console units into a server rack to allow the games to function, as opposed to Software emulation due to architectural complexity. On February 17, 2017, Sony announced it would discontinue PlayStation Now on PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation TV, Sony Bravia televisions (modeled between 2013–15), Sony Blu-ray players and all Samsung televisions by August 15, 2017.
