Sony has revealed details about the new PlayStation Plus.
The subscription will be merged with PlayStation Now and players will have three options to choose from.
Sony has unveiled an extension to the PlayStation Plus subscription, which is set to launch in June 2022.
In the weeks before the announcement, information was already circulating about the new offer*, which is intended to stand up to the competitor Microsoft and the Xbox Game Pass.
There are basically no changes to the previous PlayStation Plus subscription, only two additional options are being added that offer players more, but also cost a little more.
PlayStation Plus: Essential, Extra and Premium - these are the differences
If you are satisfied with your previous PlayStation Plus subscription, you can continue it as usual at
the same price
.
The only difference is that this is now called
PlayStation
Plus Essential
.
Alternatively, with the PS Plus Extra and Premium membership, there are now
two
more
options
to
choose
from that have more to offer.
We have summarized the differences in the following table:
PS Plus Membership: | PS Plus Essential | PS Plus Extra | PS Plus premium |
---|---|---|---|
Monthly price: | €8.99 | €13.99 | €16.99 |
Price quarterly: | €24.99 | €39.99 | €49.99 |
Annual price: | €59.99 | €99.99 | €119.99 |
2 monthly free games: | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ |

PlayStation Plus: New subscriptions should be available in June
Sony has not yet given a specific date for the start, but the new subscriptions will gradually be
available in Asia and then in North America, Europe and the rest of the world from June
.
In the Extra and Premium subscription, some of the biggest PlayStation exclusive titles should be playable right from the start, including "Death Stranding", "God of War", "Marvel's Spider-Man", "Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales", " Mortal Kombat 11” and “Returnal”.
However, there is one big difference and disadvantage compared to the Xbox Game Pass: brand new PlayStation exclusive titles - for example "God of War: Ragnarok", which is expected to be released at the end of 2022 - will
not be available from day one in the PlayStation Plus subscription
.
It is not yet clear whether members can also benefit from exclusive discounts in this case.
