PlayStation Now Beta Has 'Rental' System and a Ton of New Games

 

Looks like you'll be able to rent games for up to a month, though we don't yet know how much it'll cost.

A number of new games, as well as the beginnings of a "rental" system, have appeared in the beta of Sony's streaming gaming service PlayStation Now.

As you can see from our photographs, users now have the option to "rent" a game for one, seven, or 30 days. As PlayStation Now is still in beta, prices are currently not available, though prices previously hinted at may give us a clue. It'll be interesting to see if rental is a feature Sony sticks with, and if so, what the cost of each rental tier will be.

Additionally, a whole bunch of new games were added to the catalog today, adding up to a total count of 20. Here are the newest additions to the store:

• Ben Omniverse 2
• Contrast
• Eat Them!
• FUEL
• GRID
• Heavy Fire: Shattered Spear
• LUMINES: Supernova
• NIGHTS Into Dreams…
• PixelJump Racers 2nd Lap
• PixelJunk Shooter 2
• Puppeteer
• Retro/Grade
• Sniper Elite V2

Invitations to PlayStation Now are being issued in waves, so if you're not already in on the beta, you'll want to keep an eye on your inbox.

PlayStation Now was revealed earlier this year as a way of letting PS4 users experience older titles on their current-gen console.
