Early last year, Sony released their PlayStation Now service which allows PS3 games to be played on PS4, PlayStation Vita, and PlayStation TV systems. It works due to the acquisition of Gaikai in 2012, a cloud-based gaming platform that streams the game through network connection without any emulation done on the platform. Think of it as Netflix for gaming. Now, you can enjoy these games on any PC as well.

It’s not as easy as just ordering the service and playing. According to their site, you’ll need a ‘compatible Windows PC’ (though it doesn’t say what compatible means), a DUALSHOCK 4 Wireless Controller, a (free) PlayStation Network account, and at least 5Mbps internet connection. According to TechRadar, you should have 10-15Mbps for fully uninterrupted gameplay, but this still doesn’t mean you won’t have input lag due to possible interruptions in Sony’s servers.

You can now enjoy over 400 games never seen on PC, including The Last of Us, Uncharted, some Resident Evil games, and the entire God of War series.

The service is only $20 per month, or $15 per month if you sign up for three months. You can also try a 7-day free trial, which I haven’t done yet but really should. It seems like a good service, but obviously try before you buy.
