Interestingly, the “Read More” part of these details do include descriptions about the games being part of the now-defunct PlayStation Now service, which was shut down and replaced by PlayStation Plus on PC this year. Once you do find the game you wish to play, you just need to click on its thumbnail which will then open additional details about the game. There doesn’t seem to be any kind of search bar, genre filters, or even a single view-all gallery where games can be browsed and sorted by their genre or in alphabetical order The alphabetical rows are seemingly based on the number of games per letters, which goes something like “A-B” for one row, “C-D” for the next, then “E-G”, “H-L”, and so on. A controller icon on the upper-right next to the minimize button allows you to navigate the game library with a controller instead, losing the quick and smooth scrolling that the mouse navigation provides. The further to the edge of the row you hover your mouse, the faster it scrolls through that row. To navigate sideways through the rows, you need to hover your mouse on the right and left sides of the row and it will begin to scroll. The PlayStation Plus app just lists games in rows based on various categories, such as genre, remasters, and eventually, alphabetical order once you scroll down far enough.

One of the new components of this change has been the addition of a subscription-based service called PlayStation Plus for PC, which allows subscribers access to Sony’s excellent library of games to be streamed directly to their PCs. The entire PlayStation Plus service was overhauled recently and now grants access to a large and ever-changing catalog of games similar to Xbox Cloud Gaming. PlayStation users have had access to the PlayStation Plus service for some time, and now Sony is offering its cloud gaming services to PC users, as well. If it can overcome these problems, then it will have a lot to offer. Unfortunately, it still feels like the service is in beta and has some serious kinks to work out. When all is said and done, PlayStation Plus on PC is a premium-cost service run through a poorly executed application that sometimes allows you to play some amazing games. Questionable connection stability and a lack of troubleshooting tools to address it.The user experience and app interface needs a complete overhaul.
