In 2014, Sony launched PlayStation Now, a cloud-based streaming subscription service that allowed you to play new games as well as classics from previous console generations.

The last game to be released on the PlayStation 2 is Pro Evolution Soccer 2014, which was released in the United Kingdom on 8 November 2013.Because the chips would run cooler, they could use a smaller heatsink, in turn letting Sony shrink the console. In September 2004, in time for the launch of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Sony revealed a newer, slimmer model of the PlayStation 2.
