With Xbox Game Pass becoming such a monumental success, it was only a matter of time until PlayStation introduced its own interpretation of Microsoft’s winning distribution method. It eventually did introduced a similar model last October, when the company decided to start a rotating cycle of downloadable PlayStation 4 games that would come toPlayStation Nowfor one fixed cost. From titles likeGod of WarandUncharted 4toHorizon: Zero DawnandBloodborne, the lineup has been excellent so far, and it seems it just got better.
Announced via a blog post on the PlayStation site, it appears a handful of brand new games will be coming toPlayStation Nowstarting today. Alongside a host of smaller titles, the biggest names that have just arrived on the service areControl, Wolfenstein: New Colossus, andShadow of the Tomb Raider.

Of course,Controlwas one of last year’s biggest and best games, scoring a number of honors at The Game Awards and quickly becoming a critically acclaimed powerhouse. No doubt it will be a big draw to many looking for a reason to try out PlayStation Now, especially as it seems a number of players have yet to get their hands on it. Meanwhile,Shadow of the Tomb RaiderandWolfenstein: New Colossuswere both well-regarded titles with a lot of fanfare upon release. The former released in 2018 to fairly positive reviews, while the latter dropped in 2017 to a slightly stronger reception. Both will no doubt be superb draws for players looking to give PlayStation Now a go, especially withControlbeing offered as well.
WhileWolfenstein: The New Colossusappears to be staying on the service permanently,ControlandShadow of the Tomb Raiderwill leave the service on August 31. Alongside these games, PlayStation will be bringing a host of other titles to the service, includingDead or Alive 5 Last Round,Nascar Heat 3, Nights of Azure, Toukiden 2,andWarriors All-Stars.They will all seemingly followWolfensteinin staying around on the service for the foreseeable future.
With PlayStation Now just delivering some of the best games to hit the service yet, it seems like Sony is really beginning to understand what players are looking for in membership services. PlayStation Plus gave owners two relatively new titles this month inShadow of the ColossusandSonic Forces, which was a move celebrated by many adopters of the membership. Hopefully, allowing players to experience huge, critically acclaimed games likeControlfor a smaller price will be Sony’s mindset as it moves forward with PlayStation Now.
