Sony and PlayStation have announced that the PS Plus cloud streaming app on PC is being shut down at the end of the year due to a lack of player interaction with the application.
PC users with an eligible PlayStation Plus subscription have been able to enjoy a special PS Plus app on PC to better manage their subscription and do tasks without needing their PS5. If you are one of its rare users, get ready for a major change.
PlayStation Plus App on PC Support Ends on December 10
The PlayStation Plus Games Catalog Lineup for November was revealed. A bunch of new games were shown for the ‘Extra’ and ‘Premium’ sections of PS Plus. At the end of the reveal, another quick PSA was added about the PS Plus app on PC.

Here’s the official statement, courtesy of the Sony PlayStation blog:
‘We wanted to let you know that from December 10, we will be retiring the PlayStation Plus app on PC.
PlayStation believes in providing high-quality experiences to our players, and we regularly review offerings to ensure we are focusing on experiences our members value most. With a very small number of eligible PlayStation Plus Premium members (less than 0.4%) using the PlayStation Plus app on PC, making this change allows us to focus on enhancing high-quality experiences that more of our members want to use. As a result, the PlayStation Plus cloud streaming app on PC will no longer be available.
This change does not affect PlayStation Plus memberships or benefits available on PS5 and PS4 consoles. We appreciate everyone who used the app on PC and will be notifying affected users directly.’
