Following in the footsteps of services like EA Access and Xbox Game Pass, Playstation 4 users can now download PS4 and PS2 games to their consoles using Playstation Now. Sony launched Playstation Now as a subscription game streaming service in 2017, with a number of PS4, PS3 and PS2 titles available, and was rumored to be testing a download feature earlier this year. Sony says "almost all PS4 games" are supported, and that subscribers can play the games offline, as long as they briefly connect the PS4 to the internet "every few days."
If you've already started a game via streaming on PS Now and want to continue playing locally on your PS4, you can transfer your save file from the PS Now cloud to your console with a PS Plus membership (sold separately). This is done by transferring the save file from the PS Now cloud to your PS Plus cloud storage, then transferring it from the PS Plus cloud storage to your PS4 system.
