According to a journalist, the announcement of the new PlayStation Plus is relatively imminent. He’s even increasing the prices and subscription tiers for this Xbox Game Pass competitor.
jeff grub, journalist for VentureBeat and Insider, would have revealed the prices and formulas of the future PS Plus. The so-called “Project Spartacus” would respond to Xbox Game Pass with a very different angle. One of the big areas of focus would be access to so-called classic games. The return of PS1, PS2 and PS3 titles ?
Three formulas
In his program, the statements of which were broadcast by VGCGrubb starts with it the Spartacus project is said to be in its final stages. It could all be ready by next week, but that doesn’t mean the announcement will come this month. Maybe in March, between the release of Gran Turismo 7 and the release of Sony’s financial results? It could appeal to shareholders.
as Jason Schreier, at the origin of the first information on this endowed PS Plus, Jeff Grubb explains that there will be three formulas with different prices and benefits. The offer would be broken down as follows:
- The subscription Significant at $10 per month : the PlayStation Plus today in its juice
- The subscription extra at $13 per month : the PlayStation Plus with 250 to 300 games to download locally. Titles that would come from PlayStation Now
- The subscription bonus at $16 per month : PlayStation Plus, 250 to 300 downloads, cloud gaming (PlayStation Now), classic games as well Trial versions of titles (big demos), exclusivités first-party includes. He compares this to Electronic Arts’ EA Play, where you can try out a new Battlefield or FIFA for 10 hours, for example.
As for “classic games”, Jeff Grubb is not sure, but it could be the catalog of the old PS1, PS2 and PS3 consoles. So Sony Interactive Entertainment would catch up at that level.
Something is missing at these prices: the annual subscription, which is much more interesting for customers. Grubb just doesn’t have any information right now.
PS Plus and PS Now: Fuuusion!!! Haaa!!!
In order not to short-circuit its own productions, which are sold by truck, the manufacturer would then prefer demos. A method for players to check out afterwards. However, it could also have the opposite effect.
Sony won’t comment, but recently the company pulled PlayStation Now cards from the market. Many saw it as an additional sign, notably Jason Schreier, who unveiled this scoop (which has yet to be verified).
Do you think these prices are reasonable? Do you see interest in it? Which subscription would you most like to read about these possible formulas?
