The first level will be the PlayStation Plus Essential, which is exactly the same as the current PlayStation Plus service. This includes all the same benefits as two monthly downloadable games, multi-player internet access, cloud storage and discounts. Pricing will also remain the same, which is $ 10 per month, $ 25 per quarter and $ 60 per year. All existing PlayStation Plus users will be relocated to this level. The next step is where things get interesting. Called the PlayStation Plus Extra, this level offers all the benefits of the Essential level, but also gives users access to a list of up to 400 PS5 and PS4 titles that can be downloaded and played at any time, if the subscription is active . This includes PlayStation Studios titles as well as titles from third-party developers. The PlayStation Plus Extra stage costs $ 15 per month, $ 40 per quarter and $ 100 per year. Finally, there is the PlayStation Plus Premium, which is the most expensive option. This level includes all the benefits of the Essential and Extra levels and brings an additional 340 titles to the game list. This list includes PS3 games, which can be played through the cloud, as well as PS1, PS2 and PSP games, which can be played through the cloud or locally. The Premium tier also allows cloud streaming to be selected for original PS1, PS2, PSP and PS4 games included in the Extra and Premium levels. These games can be streamed to PS5, PS4 or PC. In addition, there will be a limited time trial option, which will allow users to try selected games for a limited time before deciding to purchase. The PlayStation Plus Premium program will cost $ 18 per month, $ 50 per quarter and $ 120 per year. All existing PlayStation Now customers will be relocated to this program at no additional cost. PlayStation Now will also cease to be a standalone service. The PlayStation Plus Premium app will only be available in areas with cloud streaming. In other markets, Sony will offer the PlayStation Plus Deluxe program, which will be cheaper and without the cloud streaming component. Everything else will be identical to the Premium level. The new PlayStation Plus apps will be released gradually. The initial release will be in Asia in June, followed by North America, Europe and the rest of the world where the PlayStation Plus is currently available. Sony plans to have all PlayStation Network sites in the new plans by the end of the first half of 2022. More information will be announced closer to the release. Source
