Sony is preparing to <a href="https://blog.playstation.com/2026/11/10/playstation-plus-game-catalog-for-november-death-stranding-2-on-the-beach-like-a-dragon-pirate-yakuza-in-hawaii-atomfall-dragon-quest-iii-hd-2d-remake-and-more/” rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank”>retire the PlayStation Plus app on PC this December 10. For now, the app lets PlayStation Plus members stream games through Sony’s cloud servers on their computer. But fewer than 0.4% of eligible Premium members use it, so the company is ending support.
There are two important distinctions here. PlayStation Plus itself isn’t ending, and neither is Remote Play, which lets you stream from your PS4 or PS5 when you’re away from home or when the TV it’s attached to is in use. Sony is only sunsetting PlayStation cloud streaming on PCs.
The PlayStation Plus PC app mainly supported streaming of PS4 and PS3 games from the PlayStation Plus catalog. It may have struggled to attract more users because it lacked support for PS5 games. While PS5 games became available
Sony later expanded cloud streaming to its PlayStation Portal. In 2025, the company added support for select digital PS5 games in a member’s library through that device.
Sony hasn’t said whether it plans to bring PC cloud streaming back in another form in the future, but with so few players having used it in its current form, we won’t hold our breath.
