Sony will retire the PlayStation Plus cloud-streaming app for PC on December 10, 2026. The company announced the cutoff in a PlayStation Blog statement reproduced by Insider Gaming. The app lets Premium subscribers stream certain games on PC. Source Source
That's an app shutdown, not a subscription shutdown. Sony says PlayStation Plus memberships and benefits available on PS5 and PS4 are unaffected. The Verge also reports that Premium subscribers can still stream games on a console or PlayStation Portal. Source Source
Sony says fewer than 0.4% of eligible PlayStation Plus Premium members use the PC app. Retiring it, the company says, “allows us to focus on enhancing high-quality experiences that more of our members want to use.” Source Source
For members who use the PC app, a Premium perk is disappearing. Sony's statement doesn't name the experiences it plans to improve. Source
Sony says it will notify affected users directly. The reproduced announcement doesn't detail refunds, subscription credits, a replacement PC service or the precise shutdown time on December 10. Source
