the Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass is so successfulthat those responsible at Sony had to react at some point. The combination of Playstation Plus and Playstation Now simply wasn’t competitive. We have known how they react since March 29, 2022. On that day, Team Playstation introduces the completely renewed subscription model.

Four versions Playstation Plus

From June to December 2022, a switch to the new Playstation Plus model, which consists of four variants, is to take place across all countries. While Playstation Plus Essential is reminiscent of the current Playstation Plus service, the Extra variant will also offer a catalog of up to 400 PS4 and PS5 games. Cost point: 13.99 euros instead of 8.99 euros per month.

The premium version beckons for another three euros more, with time-limited test versions for newly released games and an extended library, which now also offers classics from older Playstation platforms via streaming and/or download. Complementing these three models in select non-cloud streaming countries is the more affordable Deluxe option, with an emphasis on downloading legacy Playstation games.

A big disadvantage compared to the Game Pass

400 games of the PS4 and PS5 generations in the extra version? That doesn’t sound bad. Especially when you read that you can catch up on exciting titles like Death Stranding, God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Mortal Kombat 11 or Returnal for little money right from the start.

However, it is also clear that Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass will continue to offer a decisive advantage that Sony does not want to offer: None of the four new “Playstation Plus” options will allow you to play freshly released works from the Sony studios right from the launch without more costs to play.
