If the news is true, its strange that Sony left out such an announcement from it’s E3 showcase. Sony has yet to make an official comment.

If the functionality does become available for PS3 games, it means Sony has figured out a way to emulate PS3 games on the PS4. The above image was shared on reddit, showing the new “Download Game” option in PS3 title Alpha Protocol (which contradicts that the feature will support PS4 games initially). As with other content, other accounts on the came PS4 will also be able to enjoy downloaded games. Billed as an espionage RPG, Alpha Protocol casts you in the role of secret agent Michael Thorton as he embarks on a series of international operations set. The games you download will work while you have an active PlayStation Now subscription, and will be playable on your Primary PS4. It's unfortunate that its various ingredients are so undercooked. The service will be limited to PS4 games, at least initially, and will work similar to PlayStation Plus games. Alpha Protocol's ambitions are commendable, and if you're a role-playing fanatic, you'll enjoy investigating its intricacies. A rumour is currently doing the rounds suggesting that PlayStation Now will allow it’s on-demand games to be downloaded and played offline. An industry source was able to confirm to Kotaku UK that the functionality is due to roll out in late September this year.
