PlayStation Now needs a Dualshock 3 on TV, smartphones and tablets

Sony’s PlayStation Now service has undoubtedly been one of the biggest reveals of CES 2014. We knew such a system was coming, although the announcement of it heading to TVs, smartphones and tablets was a surprise.

So how will you play greats like The Last Of Us on a tablet? Simple – with a DualShock 3.

The DualShock 4 and PlayStation Vita buttons will suit their respective consoles just fine, but its Sony’s last-gen controller that’s needed for console-less services. Obviously this means you’ll have to pack a controller if you want to use the system on portable devices.

PlayStation Now will hit PS4s and 3s in the US this Summer. As for other territories/devices? We’re yet to find out.
