According to Grubb, the “Essential” tier will cost $10 a month and offer what PS Plus does now (online play and monthly “free” games). Next up will be the “Extra” tier, which will cost $13 and essentially combine PS Plus and the current PS Now catalog. Most interesting is the “Premium” tier, which will cost $16 and offer everything in the Extra tier along with new game trials, classic games, and cloud streaming. Here’s a bit more detail courtesy of Grubb (thanks to Video Games Chronicle for the transcription)… Without Day 1 first-party game releases Sony’s new version of PS Plus will remain at a disadvantage compared to Game Pass. That said, given the depth of Sony’s back catalog, they could entice some new subscribers if they’re willing to dig deep enough. Give me some Ape Escape and PaRappa the Rapper and I’ll consider signing up, Sony. As for when Sony might announce this new service, Grubb indicates milestones are being met behind the scenes, but that doesn’t necessarily mean a public reveal is coming just yet. Of course, take all of this information with a grain of salt for now, but it certainly seems like Sony’s got some irons in the fire. What do you think? Does the new service described her sound appealing? Or does Sony need to do more to secure your monthly payment?
