The PC requirements you will need to stream PlayStation games have been revealed.
The new PlayStation Plus revamp has been on everyone’s lips lately and if you own a PC you probably wondered what you would need to be able to play the games on a Premium subscription.
Well, Sony has officially released the system requirements, so you can verify if your computer can play these new and old games without difficulty.
Although a 2.0 GHz Intel Core i3 could definitely run the games, a faster CPU, such as a 3.5 GHz Intel Core i3 or a 3.8 GHz AMD A10, is suggested for best performance.
The streaming program will only require 300 MB of storage and 2GB of Ram which is not a huge ask, but users will need a Dualshock 4 controller if they wish to play these games properly.
