For those interested in Sony’s cloud-based PS3 streaming game service for the PS4/PS Vita, though holding off for some sort of all-you-can-play subscription plan, today is your lucky day. PS Now subscriptions officially launch on January 13th.

Sony (SCEA specifically) has revealed pricing for a pair of monthly PlayStation Now plans including a monthly sub for $19.99 and a three month plan for $44.99.  There will be a 7 day free trial offered, which includes access to all of the 100+ PS3 games that are currently available.

Check out the details and the official announcement below.

Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (SCEA) today announced that a subscription for the streaming game service PlayStation Now will launch on January 13 across US and Canada. The subscription, available first on PlayStation 4 (PS4) systems followed by other PlayStation Now enabled devices, will offer unlimited access to over 100 PlayStation 3 (PS3) games. That includes titles from major publishers like SCE Worldwide Studios, Warner Brothers, Bandai Namco Games America Inc., SEGA, and more. Gamers will be able to choose from a monthly subscription plan for $19.99 per month or a three-month plan for $44.99, breaking down to about $15 per month. A free seven-day trial that provides access to all games in the subscription service will also be offered at launch.

?Users have been able to rent games through PlayStation Now for several months, and one of the top requests we get is for an overall subscription to the service. We?re excited to formally announce it today, as the PlayStation Now subscription service will deliver a ton of value by providing instant access to a large and diverse catalogue of games for one low price,? said Phil Rosenberg, Senior Vice President, Business Development and Publisher Relations, SCEA. ?We know there are lots of PS4 owners that never owned a PS3, and this is a great way to catch up on games they may have missed.?

PlayStation Now provides the ability to stream PS3 games without game downloads, installs, or patches. Users can save their game progress on PlayStation Now proprietary cloud servers and seamlessly resume their progress on any PlayStation Now-enabled device. For instance, users can start playing a game through PlayStation Now on their PS4 system in their living room and continue playing on their PlayStation Vita handheld system in their bedroom. Users that have subscribed to PlayStation Now will also receive entitlements to access the games included with their subscription on other devices at no extra charge.

To celebrate the launch of the subscription service, a free PlayStation Now theme will be available for PS4 owners to download starting in early January. Those who download the theme before January 31 will be automatically entered into a drawing for a chance to win a one-year subscription to PlayStation Now.
