Sony showed off its PlayStation Now service running on Samsung televisions nearly a year ago at CES 2015. Since that time, the two companies have announced support for the feature with compatibility ranging on a wide number of 2014 and 2015 Samsung Smart TV models. Just earlier this week, Sony aggressively expanded its PlayStation Now offering by adding a 105 new games to the streaming service and in doing so, nearly doubling its library. Even Sony’s Chief Financial Officer Kcnichiro Yoshida has revealed the company’s intentions on expanding PSN into a “global entertainment platform” and one way of doing that is by making the service available on as many devices as possible.
The trouble has been that in the many months that PlayStation Now has been available on Samsung televisions, it’s been unclear exactly which models support the service. Now, we can finally reveal which Samsung Smart TVs support what will be the future of PlayStation.

Seeing how Samsung makes every size and combination of televisions (like they do with phones) under the sun, it’s been a bit perplexing that this information hasn’t been easily available from launch. Then again, I’m not terribly surprised either, seeing how neither Sony or Samsung tend to be good with product documentation.
