PlayStation Now, Sony's online game-streaming service, will stop working on almost every compatible device starting on August 15. The announcement on Wednesday gives paying customers exactly six months to continue playing on compatible devices before the paid service is downgraded to two types of devices: PlayStation 4 consoles and Windows PCs.

Owners of 2016 Bravia TVs have even less time to adjust, with their smart-TV support ceasing as soon as April 1. The other affected devices—PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation TV (the Vita-powered TV box), and compatible Blu-ray players and smart TVs from Sony and Samsung—will no longer be able to access the service, which costs $20 per month or $45 for a recurring every-three-months charge.

Worse, since the service isn't being entirely discontinued but rather narrowed in availability, Sony is putting the onus on subscribers to cancel their PS Now accounts before the device pool shrinks.

"After thoughtful consideration, we decided to shift our focus and resources to PS4 and Windows PC to further develop and improve the user experience on these two devices," the announcement states. Sony's hints about "growing the service" may indicate a broader PS Now game selection to come; currently, the service is limited to games for the PlayStation 3 console.

The announcement can be seen as yet another arrow in the heart of the PlayStation Vita, whose official support from Sony has been slashed and reduced for quite some time. Additionally, at least one Ars Technica staffer may feel the burn from this news, as our own Ron Amadeo gave the service a spin on his compatible Samsung TV in 2015—and was mostly pleased by the results. While he remarked on PS Now's high prices, he also discussed how lag-free the service felt, declaring, "it took a computing platform that I thought was so slow it was useless and turned it into a fun gaming device."
