Releasing first for European audiences (Aug 24 in the UK) and “soon after” for North America, the move marks the first time that some PlayStation properties have made the leap cross-platform.

  Users of the Windows version of PlayStation Now will enjoy the same catalog of PS Now games available on the console version, including some PS3 classics like The Last of Us and entries in the Uncharted and God of War series.
