![]() While this bundling is long overdue, it also doesn’t really make much of a new case to players who were doing just fine without PlayStation Now. The verdict: It’s hard to see the new PlayStation Plus as much more than bolting the lesser-used PlayStation Now onto the more mandatory (for online multiplayer) existing PS Plus benefits. Game Pass’ library is, by numbers alone, smaller ( about 450 games), but the list is more curated, includes same-day launches of new titles, and EA Play’s library, as well as cloud streaming to computers, consoles, and mobile devices. The difference, however, is that Microsoft does not sell Game Pass subscriptions, in any tier, in three-month or one-year blocks. The monthly subscription to PlayStation Plus Premium is, yes, $3 more than Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, the highest tier that Microsoft offers. ![]() The current PlayStation Plus subscription is being rebranded as the PlayStation Plus Essential tier, and it costs the same: $9.99 a month, $24.99 for three months, $59.99 a year. For those who are already PS Plus and PS Now subscribers, that’s a savings of $5, $10, and $20, respectively.Īnd, of course, nothing forces you to get the extra stuff Sony is offering. Those who don’t need or care for PlayStation 3 and older games, or being able to stream them, can pick up the PS Plus Extra subscription for $14.99 monthly, $39.99 quarterly, or $99.99 yearly. Of course, over the course of a year, the customer would pay almost $100 more - $215.88 - than they would if they bought all 12 months up-front at $119.99. The monthly PlayStation Plus Premium subscription is $17.99. Yearly and quarterly subscriptions to PlayStation Plus Premium essentially double that ($119.99 yearly, and $49.99 quarterly). PlayStation Plus’ new pricesĬurrently, both PlayStation Now and PlayStation Plus sell subscriptions at the same rates: $59.99 for a year, $24.99 for three months, $9.99 for one month. And if that’s the case, a monthly subscriber to PlayStation Plus Premium would end up paying less for the same services offered in the current PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now subscriptions. PS Plus Extra subscribers get access to 400 PS4 and PS5 games already in PlayStation Now, and Premium subscribers get access to everything - which includes original PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation Portable games. It appears this is just a simple library split and rebrand, although Jim Ryan, in a PlayStation Blog post Tuesday morning, noted that Extra and Premium tiers will include first-party games like Death Stranding, God of War (2018), and Marvel ’s Spider-Man, as well as Mortal Kombat 11. PlayStation Now currently has 788 games spanning three console generations. In replacing the PlayStation Now service, Sony will offer 400 games, playable by download, to the PS Plus Extra tier, and more than 700 total in the Premium tier. That said, PlayStation Plus’ two new tiers - called PlayStation Plus Extra and PlayStation Plus Premium - are not exactly content-poor. “e think the knock-on effect on the quality of the games that we make would not be something that gamers want.” PS Plus Extra and Premium: What you get “The level of investment that we need to make in our studios would not be possible,” if these $69.99 games were also available in a $14.99 monthly subscription, PlayStation chief executive Jim Ryan told on Tuesday.
