The popular game streaming service was launched two years ago, allowing PS4 gamers to stream a wide selection of PS3 games for $19.99 a month. Now, you will be able to play these games on your computer.

The functionality will initially be released in Europe, followed by North America and other regions of the world. Sony is also launching a wireless USB adaptor that connects your PC to your PS controller and it will retail for $24.99.

The adaptor will be released next month. In addition to plenty of classic PS3 games, Sony will release a slate of games that were previously unreleased on PlayStation Now, including Uncharted and God of War.

The adaptor can also be used for PS4 Remote Play on a PC or Mac. You need at least a 5Mbps connection to use PS Now on any device, and the company recommends a wired Internet connection for maximum effectiveness.

It is unclear when this product will be released in the U.S.

There are two new Sony consoles being released next month, including a slimmer version of the PS4. The other device is the highly-anticipated PS4.5, which is also being called the Neo of PS4K.

A PlayStation 4 update was recently released, patching up the user interface and other of the device’s functionalities.

SNE stock is up 0.4% Tuesday. MSFT stock is up 0.4%.
