All you have to do is install the PlayStation Now app and connect with a compatible controller to enjoy a wide selection of games in the PlayStation Now library with a one-step sign in.

As per a report by The Mako Reactor that cites people in the supply chain, PlayStation Now is finally coming to the Indian market in 2020.

As for the PlayStation Now service, it added support for playing PS4 games on a PC back in 2017. A year later, Sony allowed PlayStation Now subscribers to download PS2 and PS4 games on their PS4 console. Sony says that PlayStation Now subscribers can stream more than 800 PS4, PS3, and PS2 games on their PS4 console and PC, aside from the ability to download hundreds of PS4 games on their PlayStation 4 console.
