PlayStation New Subscriptions

Although the new subscription service may not be as good value as the Xbox Game Pass, the addition of up to 700 games to existing subscriptions is a significant upgrade. PS Plus now has access to a game streaming service courtesy to the merger of PS Now and PS Plus.

 

The service's two new premium tiers -- Extra and Premium will work in a similar way to the Xbox Game Pass, giving customers access to hundreds of PS games. At launch, Death Stranding, God of War, Marvel's Spider-Man, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Mortal Kombat 11, and Returnal will be included in the two subscriptions, according to Sony. This game collection will be "frequently updated."

There will be additional modifications as well. PlayStation Now will be merged into the new PlayStation Plus subscription when it launches in June, and it will no longer be available as an independent service. PlayStation Now subscribers will be able to upgrade to PlayStation Plus Premium without incurring any additional expenses, according to Sony.

There will also be a PlayStation Plus Deluxe plan available in select markets. While costs may vary by area, PlayStation Plus Deluxe will be less expensive than the Premium tier and will include all of the Essential and Extra tier's perks.
