Shadow Warrior 3 will be available on the PlayStation Now subscription from day one

It often happens that Sony PlayStation Plus subscribers get some new games with their subscription as soon as they become available on the PlayStation. But so far it has not happened that new games from the first day are given to subscribers of another Sony service - PlayStation Now. That will change from March 1st as it has been confirmed that Shadow Warrior 3 will also be launched on PlayStation Now.

So far, games on the PlayStation Now subscription came as early as 1-3 months after they went on sale. GTA 3: Definitive Edition (one month) and Codemasters' Formula 1 games were the fastest to appear on PS Now.

This news may be related to Sony's plan to expand its subscriber offer this spring by merging PlayStation Plus and Now services. According to rumors so far, PS Now should become an alternative to Xbox's Game Pass. It already is, but the main difference is that PS Now doesn't get new games as often as Game Pass. In addition, PS Now is not officially supported in all regions where PS Plus is supported.

Another problem with PS Now is that there are currently no PlayStation 5 games. Although the service can be used on the PlayStation 5 console, only PS4 versions of games can be downloaded and installed via subscription. If this is also the case with Shadow Warrior 3, PS5 console owners will only be able to play the PS4 version of the game via subscription.
