Samsung and Sony today announced that the PlayStation Now game streaming service will be available on select Samsung Smart TVs in the first half of 2015. With this partnership, Samsung Smart TV consumers in the United States and Canada will have easy access to hundreds of PlayStation 3 (PS3) games streamed from the cloud – no consoles, downloads, or trips to the store needed.

PlayStation Now is currently offered on a variety of PlayStation platforms, including the PlayStation 4 (PS4) system. Gamers can choose from more than 200 titles from the library of PS3 games, ranging from action/adventure and racing to RPGs and family-friendly games.

The service will launch as an app that can be accessed through Samsung’s Smart Hub. Once launched, a game is played using the critically acclaimed wireless controller DUALSHOCK 4. PlayStation Now on Samsung Smart TVs will support all functionality of the service, including the ability to earn in-game trophies, play games online with friends, and save your game progress in the cloud.
