To the handful of PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers who use the service’s PC app, there’s some bad news. Sony is pulling the plug on the application next month, ending the ability to stream supported PlayStation games on Windows without owning a console.
As revealed at the very bottom of its latest PlayStation Plus Game Catalog announcement, the shutdown will take effect on 10 December 2026, following what Sony describes as low usage of the feature. More specifically, the company said fewer than 0.4% of eligible Premium members actually use the PC app, adding that discontinuing it would allow resources to be redirected towards features that appeal to more subscribers.
For those unfamiliar, launched back in 2016, the PlayStation Plus PC app allows Premium subscribers to stream a selection of PlayStation games directly from Sony’s servers. It was a rather niche offering to begin with, but it did provide PC gamers with a way to play supported PS3, PS4 and classic titles without having to fork out for a PlayStation console. Well, apparently, not enough of them cared to keep it around.
