Unlike the Xbox One, the PlayStation 4 doesn’t have backwards compatibility, so you can’t take your old PlayStation 2 or PlayStation 3 games and stick them into Sony’s latest console. The company does have a few ways around this, such as the recently announced (small) list of PlayStation 2 games available on the PlayStation store. There’s also PlayStation Now, a subscription-based streaming service where players can play select PlayStation 3 titles on the PS4. Two plans are available for PlayStation Now: one month for $19.99 and three months for $44.99. For a limited time, there will be a third option, one full year for $99.99.
Since the launch of the subscription earlier this year in January, the list of games continues to grow. Along with the new subscription offering are a handful of new additions. Specifically, these games come from one publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

The one-year subscription, which equates to about $8.33 per month, won’t be around for long. PlayStation said the deal is available only for a limited time. However, there weren’t any details as to when the offering comes off the table.
