PS Plus Premium Specs & Requirements For Streaming on PC

Before launching the new PlayStation Plus services, Sony revealed the minimum and recommended system specs for those who are interested in playing PlayStation games on PC via streaming.

While you don’t need to have any cutting-edge graphics card, streaming on a PC will require a Core-i3 processor at least if you are using Intel chipsets.

Minimum:

• Windows 7 (SP 1), 8.1 or 10
• Core i3 2.0 GHz
• 300 MB of available storage
• 2 GB of RAM
• Sound card; USB port

Recommended:

• 3.5 GHz Intel Core i3 or 3.8 GHz AMD A10 or faster
• 300 MB or more of available storage
• 2 GB or more of RAM
• Sound card; USB port

In addition to the above, you will also need access to the internet with a minimum bandwidth of 5 Mbps for the lowest quality, and a minimum of 15 Mbps for 1080p resolution. Moreover, a DualShock 4 is needed as well to play games with a controller.

Keep in mind that streaming on PC will only be available through the PS Plus Premium subscription.
