![]() ![]() 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. In addition to PS Plus Essential, which functions just like the existing version of Plus, there will also be PS Plus Extra (which provides access to hundreds of PS4 and PS5 games) and PS Plus Premium (which adds in a back catalog of PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP games, as well as Now's cloud streaming functionality).Sony revamps PlayStation Plus with new Extra and Premium tiers, merges with PlayStation Now For those in the Americas, it's expected to debut on June 13. The new PS Plus is slated to launch over the next few months, depending on where in the world you're located. That was arguably a smart approach by Microsoft, ensuring it locked numerous people into years of Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions while allowing those subscribers to feel like they were pulling a fast one. While this is similar to what happens with Xbox Live Gold and Game Pass when upgrading to Game Pass Ultimate, before that service's launch, Microsoft did allow for 1:1 conversions-you could buy a year of Xbox Live Gold and lock yourself into a year of Game Pass Ultimate, despite Gold costing less. ![]() The end result is that you basically need to consult these charts in order to know what you're getting, because the conversion rate isn't the sort of math you're likely to have memorized. The complexity stems from the fact that there are two different subscription vouchers you could be buying-PS Plus or Now-and three different durations for those vouchers to last, as well as three different tiers of the new PS Plus you could opt to subscribe to.

Once the ability to redeem those vouchers becomes available, they will be prorated based on the version of the service you're subscribing to. If you buy vouchers at a store right now, existing subscribers will have to wait until the new Plus launches before being able to redeem them. In short, if you're an existing Plus/Now subscriber, you can't extend your membership at the current prices in order to obtain a discount on the new PS Plus. You may want some Dramamine on hand before diving in. Having now confirmed that it isn't allowing existing PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now subscribers to stack their subscriptions to get the new PS Plus at a cheaper price, Sony has outlined just how existing vouchers will convert to the new version of the service. ![]()
