If you're a PlayStation Plus Premium member who streams PlayStation games on your PC, you've got just under a month left to make the most of it, as Sony is pulling the plug on the app.
Sony has announced it's retiring the PlayStation Plus app on PC from December 10, which means the PlayStation Plus cloud streaming app on PC will no longer be available, as revealed at the bottom of yesterday's (November 10) PlayStation Blog post on November's Game Catalog lineup.
The reasoning is fairly blunt, as Sony says "less than 0.4%" of eligible PlayStation Plus Premium members were using the PC app, so retiring it lets the team focus on the experiences that more of its members actually want to use.
Streaming off into the sunset
The good news for everyone else is that the change doesn't affect PlayStation Plus memberships or benefits on PS5 and PS4, and Sony says it'll be notifying affected users directly, although the post doesn't say anything about refunds or what happens to anyone who signed up for Premium mainly to play on PC.
The app has been around in one form or another since the PlayStation Now days, and with it gone, VGC points out that Xbox is now the platform still offering console-game streaming to PC, through Xbox Cloud Gaming.
November's PS Plus Game Catalog arrives November 17
The same post confirmed the full November Game Catalog for PS Plus Extra and Premium members, which is available to play from November 17 unless otherwise noted, and includes Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake and Atomfall, with MotoGP 26 and Cricket 26 following on November 24 in the US and UK.
Premium members are also getting Soul Reaver 2 and Freedom Wars Remastered, though Sony notes that lineups can differ by region, so it's worth checking the PlayStation Store on the day.
That also pins down the date for Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake joining PS Plus Extra, which we first reported from Sony's Japanese announcement earlier this week, so Ortega's kid finally has a start date for that quest.
Well, 0.4% might not sound like a lot, but somewhere out there a laptop fan is about to get a well-earned rest.
