Sony Thanks to half a dozen Bloomberg stories, we heard that Sony was going to unveil its new PlayStation Plus subscription review any day now, and this day is today. Sony has released the details of the new three-tier service that merges PS Plus and PS Now, and it turns out that we already know most of these details, thanks to the leaks. The bad news in the beginning, none of the levels contain releases of the first day of Sony’s first party games, which would echo Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass strategy. And yet the monthly prices are… comparable. Well, here we come to what is on offer: Tier 1 – PS Plus Essential ($ 9.99 per month, $ 59.99 per year) This is essentially the same as the current PS Plus subscription in every way:
Two monthly free games Exclusive discounts Cloud storage Online multiplayer
Tier 2 – PS Plus Extra ($ 14.99 per month, $ 99.99 per year)
Everything from the basic level A list of 400 PS4 and PS5 games, though, is not available on the first day.
Tier 3 – PS Plus Premium ($ 17.99 per month, $ 119.99 per year)
In addition to the benefits of Tier 1 and Tier 2, this final tier offers 340 more games including PS3 titles that you can stream to the cloud and classic games from PS1, PS2 and PSP. The cloud feed will work where available with the current PS Now setting. At this level there will be limited time game trials so players can try before they buy.
This big release of the new brand is supposed to be in most areas of the PlayStation by the end of the first half of 2022, although no specific dates have been set yet. PS Now Sony This will undoubtedly be fuel for console power, as the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate costs $ 14.99 with first-day versions and PC functionality, and this is just the PS Plus Tier 2 right now, and there is a more expensive level after what is still valid do not contain this. Again, of all the rumors we’ve heard about the PlayStation Spartacus before, it always looked more like a redistribution of PS Now and PS Plus, so it was less confusing to have parallel services, and I think it at least achieves that. . What it fails to do is create something as appealing as the Xbox Game Pass, but it is no surprise that Sony does not want to give up its endless parade of huge first-party sales for all of its top series. The market could force their hand one day, but today is not that day. I mean it all sounds okay, I guess. A large library of free games is good and it will probably attract more people than PS Now alone. But forgive me if I can not get too excited about gaming demos as a Level 3 feature, which honestly should be available to developers for free from the start. We’ll see what the reaction will be to this internet, but it does not seem to be such a big leap forward for the PlayStation, but just a reorganization. Sony does not need to offer what the Xbox Game Pass does, because of how strong the PlayStation brand is, along with a number of must-have first-party releases. But will this last forever? I guess we should see. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Subscribe to my free weekly content collection newsletter, God Rolls.
