Sony will significantly scale back the number of devices that support PlayStation Now this year.

On the PlayStation Blog, the company announced plans to end PlayStation Now services for PlayStation 3, Vita and other devices on August 15. That includes PlayStation TV, Sony Bravia TVs from 2013 to 2015, Sony Blu-ray players and Samsung TVs.

In fact, Sony plans on only supporting PlayStation 4 and PC for PlayStation Now going forward.

"After thoughtful consideration, we decided to shift our focus and resources to PS4 and Windows PC to further develop and improve the user experience on these two devices," said PlayStation Now senior marketing manager Brian Dunn. "This move puts us in the best position to grow the service even further."

PlayStation Now launched in 2014. The streaming service then arrived on PC just last year.
