Sony state: PlayStation Plus Premium/Deluxe members will have a selection of popular classic games to play, with some titles that will show improved frame rates and higher-quality resolution compared to their original launch versions. For select original PlayStation and PSP classic games, members will also enjoy a new user interface with menus that allow you to save your game at any time, or even rewind the game if you want a do-over.

Also, players who have previously purchased the digital version of select games from the original PlayStation and PSP generation will not have to make a separate purchase or sign up to PlayStation Plus to play these titles on PS4 or PS5. When these titles are released for PS4 and PS5, players can head to PlayStation Store and download a version for the consoles at no extra cost if they already own the digital version of the title. Some of the titles will also be available for individual purchase.

Here are some of the titles that will be part of the time-limited game trials.

PlayStation Plus Premium

Posted: 29th March 2022:

PlayStation Plus Premium, initially codenamed Spartacus, is coming in June and is Sony’s answer to Xbox Game Pass, the service for which I’ll detail every month on this site.

But how does it compare? If you go for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, in the UK, it costs £10.99/month, making for an annual total of £131.88, whereas the highest price you’ll pay for an annual subscription to Sony’s service is £99.99, and it combines the regular Playstation Plus and Playstation Now services to the point where you’ll have around 700 games to check out at any one time.

I can’t wait to find out what games will be available in this service, and I hope we can check this out soon.


Check out the Sony press release below for all the information:

Since launching PlayStation Plus in 2010, SIE has been at the forefront of innovation with game subscription services. We were thrilled to be the first console membership service that included a refreshed library of games through PlayStation Plus, and also launched the first console game streaming service with PlayStation Now.

Today, we are pleased to share with you official news about changes coming to our subscription services. This June, we’re bringing together PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now in an all-new PlayStation Plus subscription service that provides more choice to customers across three membership tiers globally.

Our focus is on providing high-quality, curated content with a diverse portfolio of games*. Below is an overview of the three membership tiers:

PlayStation Plus Essential

Provides the same benefits that PlayStation Plus members are getting today, such as:

    Two monthly downloadable games
    Exclusive discounts
    Cloud storage for saved games
    Online multiplayer access

There are no changes for existing PlayStation Plus members in this tier.

Price* for PlayStation Plus Essential remains the same as the current price for PlayStation Plus:

    United States: $9.99 monthly / $24.99 quarterly / $59.99 yearly
    Europe: €8.99 monthly / €24.99 quarterly / €59.99 yearly
    United Kingdom: £6.99 monthly / £19.99 quarterly / £49.99 yearly
    Japan: ¥850 monthly / ¥2,150 quarterly / ¥5,143 yearly






PlayStation Plus Extra:

Provides all the benefits from the Essential tier, and adds a catalog of up to 400* of the most enjoyable PS4 and PS5 games – including blockbuster hits from our PlayStation Studios catalog and third-party partners. Games in the Extra tier are downloadable for play.

Price*:

    United States: $14.99 monthly / $39.99 quarterly / $99.99 yearly
    Europe: €13.99 monthly / €39.99 quarterly / €99.99 yearly
    United Kingdom: £10.99 monthly / £31.99 quarterly / £83.99 yearly
    Japan: ¥1,300 monthly / ¥3,600 quarterly / ¥8,600 yearly






PlayStation Plus Premium**:

Provides all the benefits from Essential and Extra tiers, and adds up to 340* additional games, including:

    PS3 games available via cloud streaming
    A catalog of beloved classic games available in both streaming and download options from the original PlayStation, PS2 and PSP generations
    Offers cloud streaming access for original PlayStation, PS2, PSP and PS4 games offered in the Extra and Premium tiers in markets** where PlayStation Now is currently available. Customers can stream games using PS4 and PS5 consoles, and PC.***
    Time-limited game trials will also be offered in this tier, so customers can try select games before they buy.

Price*:

    United States: $17.99 monthly / $49.99 quarterly / $119.99 yearly
    Europe: €16.99 monthly / €49.99 quarterly / €119.99 yearly
    United Kingdom: £13.49 monthly / £39.99 quarterly / £99.99 yearly
    Japan: ¥1,550 – monthly / ¥4,300 – quarterly / ¥10,250 yearly






PlayStation Plus Deluxe (Select Markets) For markets without cloud streaming, PlayStation Plus Deluxe will be offered at a lower price compared to Premium, and includes a catalog of beloved classic games from the original PlayStation, PS2 and PSP generations to download and play, along with time-limited game trials. Benefits from Essential and Extra tiers are also included. Local pricing will vary by market.

The new Extra and Premium tiers represent a major evolution for PlayStation Plus. With these tiers, our key focus is to ensure that the hundreds of games we offer will include the best quality content that sets us apart. At launch, we plan to include titles such as Death Stranding, God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Mortal Kombat 11, and Returnal. We’re working closely with our imaginative developers from PlayStation Studios and third-party partners to include some of the best gaming experiences available with a library that will be regularly refreshed. More details to come on the games we’ll have on our new PlayStation Plus service.

When the new PlayStation Plus service launches, PlayStation Now will transition into the new PlayStation Plus offering and will no longer be available as a standalone service. PlayStation Now customers will migrate over to PlayStation Plus Premium with no increase to their current subscription fees at launch.

As this is a massive launch effort, we’re rolling out the new PlayStation Plus offering in a phased regional approach. In the June timeframe, we’ll begin with an initial launch in several markets in Asia, followed by North America, Europe and the rest of the world where PlayStation Plus is offered. We aim to have most PlayStation Network territories live with our new PlayStation Plus game subscription service by the end of the first half of 2022. We also plan to expand our cloud streaming benefit to additional markets, and will provide more details at a later date.

Building upon more than 25 years of expertise in gaming innovation, this change to our subscription services highlights our continued efforts to evolve our network services business to match our customer’s preferences. With the all-new PlayStation Plus, we’re focused on delivering a compelling game subscription service with curated content from our exclusive PlayStation Studios team and our third-party partners. The newly enhanced PlayStation Plus will enable our fans to discover and engage with more content than ever before, and deepen their connection with the PlayStation community through shared experiences.

We’re providing an early look at our new PlayStation Plus subscription service today, and we’ll plan to share more information with you as we get closer to launch. Stay tuned.

*Local pricing may vary by market. PlayStation Plus catalog titles may also vary by market and tier, and may change over time. PlayStation Plus is an ongoing subscription subject to a recurring subscription fee taken automatically until cancellation. Age restrictions apply. Terms apply: play.st/psplus-usageterms

**Current markets where PlayStation Now is available: US, Canada, Japan, UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden.

***PC streaming is not available in Japan at launch and will be supported in a future update.
