This is an excellent feature as it means you can pick up where you left off, from any game, on either platform. If someone else is taking command of the TV to which your PS4 is connected, you have no need to worry—just head to your PC and fire the game up from your most recent save.
You can find out how to transfer your save files between the two platforms on the official PlayStation site. You only have one screen through which to find the title you want. At the top of the screen are several categories of games, including any you have added to your list. If you scroll down the page, you will find that all the games are arranged alphabetically, separated by each letter.
You scroll left and right to find, for example, all the titles that begin with the letter 'A'. This means you need to cycle through them all to find the game you want, which can be a bit annoying if you're just cruising for something to play. You don't have options to search for games by genre or theme, as you do with the PS4 version of PlayStation Now.
You can't even see all of the games on one screen, ordered from A-Z, which is an option with the PS4 version. There are over games at your disposal, so knowing what you want to play before you start looking is a help. However, you can still happen across some real gems if you cycle through the games without deciding what you want to play first. It is just easier and more convenient on a PS4.
Aside from minimum PC requirements, PS Now has certain expectations regarding your internet connection, too. First of all, you will need to ensure you have a stable broadband connection. This needs to be between a minimum of Mbps download speed, with as low ping as possible. Once you know you meet all of these minimum requirements, you're ready to start playing! Unfortunately, the application doesn't support third-party joypads.

Once you are there, find the box that says "Download the PC app". Click that and the file will automatically start to download. Save this to your desktop for now. This will launch the installer and, once complete, PS Now will be available via your Windows start menu and, if you chose to add a shortcut during installation, on your desktop, too.
Once installed, you're free to load up the application and start playing. More are added periodically, so you don't have to worry about running out of titles; there is plenty to choose from. Because you'll be streaming PlayStation 3 games over the internet from Sony's servers, you'll need to have a fast and dependable internet connection to play the games smoothly on your PC.
Sony recommends an internet connection of 5Mbps or higher, although the faster your broadband speed the smoother games will play, so we'd actually recommend a connection of at least 10Mbps to be on the safe side. If you're not sure how fast your internet connection is, there are a number of broadband speed-checking websites, such as Speedtest. If you're not reaching 5Mbps then PS Now won't be for you — but if you want to consider changing broadband providers check out our best broadband deals round-up.
