Sony’s relatively new service, the PlayStation Now, continues to grow with the new titles added for March. For the month, five more games will be added to the growing roster of the game streaming subscription service.

“inFamous: Second Son” may have been a hit on the PS4, but for new players who may have missed the second adventure in the franchise featuring Cole MacGrath, this is the time to check it out. Another game which is a favourite on the PS3, “Twisted Metal,” will showcase the bloodbath in next-gen glory.

Other titles will include “Alone in the Dark: Inferno,” “R-Type Dimensions” and “Operation Flashpoint: Red River.” All of these five games, and the previous 100+ titles that have been revealed for the PlayStation Now, will be available in two subscriptions. According to the PlayStation Blog, PS4 players can opt for unlimited streaming via a $19.99 monthly or a three-month $44.99 package to save roughly $15.

The PlayStation Now, which is meant for PS4 players to enjoy streaming titles that are not natively released on the PS4, has undergone a number of criticisms before. Before its unveiling, Sony ran a beta test that showed exorbitant prices that fans found to be too high and ridiculous for a game rental service.

Thankfully, the prices are more or less regulated with the subscription, which mimics the PS Plus model. And as an added bonus, those who haven’t tried the PS Now service can do so with a seven-day free trial through the PlayStation Store.

Speaking of the PS Plus service, the March lineup of games is still nowhere to be found. There’s still some time for players to check out the February line of PS Plus games before it rotates once more, as noted by Game Informer.

But for those who are hungry for any possible leaks or hints of what’s to come for the PS Plus March lineup, there are a few new games popping up all over town. According to a report by Gamepur, an alleged leak was spotted via the German PlayStation Network PS Plus.

Two new titles have now been added to the rumoured list, namely “Octodad” and “LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.” The most that Sony has stated is that the company is still finalising the details causing the delay. Ubergizmo quotes Sony’s Fred Dutton, who stated that the company is not yet ready to make the announcement final. However, an official announcement is expected sometime this week since it’s already March.
