PlayStation Now loading times starting to improve — report

Loading times for PlayStation Now are purportedly improving as the service enters the second phase of its on-going U.S. beta.

According to DualShockers, a number of games have seen their loading times reduced from the initial beta phase.

Dead or Alive 5 in particular has seen a significant improvement, with loading times reduced from 51.10 seconds to 36.55 seconds. Elsewhere, WipEout HD takes 57.19 seconds to load, Guacamelee! 32.36 seconds and Dead Island 36.22 seconds.

Naturally, loading times of the speedy variety will be contingent on the quality of the user’s Internet connection.

PlayStation Now is scheduled for a summer launch in the U.S., though is unlikely to see the light of day in Europe until 2015.
