Samsung to offer PlayStation Now on 2015 Smart TVs

Samsung and Sony don’t usually play nice. Unless, it’ll benefit both of them. At the upcoming CES 2015, we will be seeing Samsung’s new range of Smart TVs to have support for PlayStation Now. It was announced before Christmas but the actual products will be on showcase at the tech show.

PlayStation Now on Samsung should work like an app as well that connect’s to Sony’s Gakai-powered games service. North American consumers are expected to be part of the rollout of these new TVs this year.
