PlayStation Now launches its PS3 open beta

Streaming old-gen games from the cloud isn’t just for the PlayStation 4 anymore.

Sony is launching PlayStation Now for PlayStation 3 starting today. The service enables customers to rent PS3 games and immediately start playing because they stream over the Internet. This Netflix-for-games technology debuted on PlayStation 4 earlier this year, and now Sony is ready to open it up to a wider audience. PS Now is still in beta but available to anyone.
