PlayStation Now will be available in open beta<\/strong> on July 31<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The current library of games consists of mainly older titles that a lot of people probably ignored, but Sony announced more games coming to the streaming service. It’s unknown if the open beta will have these games immediately, but expect PlayStation Now to host Saints Row IV, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeros<\/strong>, God of War Ascension, Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus, and Street Fighter IV Ultra<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
