UPDATE: All-new PlayStation Plus launches in June with 700+ games and more value than ever

PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now come together; players can choose from three flexible options.

Jim Ryan President & CEO, Sony Interactive Entertainment

Update: We’re making fantastic progress with our launch efforts and I wanted to update you on the latest. We’re rolling out our new offering for PlayStation Plus a little earlier in select markets in Asia, followed by Japan. Here is a look at our updated regional rollout schedule.

  • Asia markets (excluding Japan) – targeting May 23, 2022 (May 24, 2022 in local time zone)
  • Japan – targeting June 1, 2022 (June 2, 2022 in local time zone)
  • Americas – targeting June 13, 2022
  • Europe, Australia, New Zealand – targeting June 22, 2022 (June 23, 2022 in local time zone)

Additionally, we’re also expanding our cloud streaming access to the following locations for a total of 30 markets with cloud streaming access**. The following markets will also offer the Premium tier from PlayStation Plus at launch: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Republic of Cyprus, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia.

We’ve been working on this massive global effort to provide flexible options, quality games and greater value for our members for quite some time now – and we’re just a few weeks away from our first regional rollout. We want to thank our PlayStation community for the ongoing support, and we’ll have more to share as we get closer to launch. For more information, including pricing for your local market, please visit our website at https://www.playstation.com/en-us/ps-plus/

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:

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.

    Will brand new titles be available on launch under the Extra and Premium memberships?

    I’m done with ps+. It is pure trash and provides 0 Value. You are force to pay money in order to play games online, I guess I’m done with gaming online on my PS and I’ll just do it on PC. Anyways these prices seem insane, they need to be down by $20 in order for us to get an actual good deal. Ever since the announcement of the PS5, Sony has been going down hill and I’m super sad about that. I have been playing PS games since the PS1 good old days. I have now achieved my 80th Platinum trophy on my account but I’m sad with the direction Sony has been heading. Oh well ,what can we do other than voice our opinions. I’m gaming more on PC now ever since the lunch of PS5 and I’m sure more people will follow that suit due to Sony actions as of recent.

    • Pro_TactX
      March 29, 2022 at 5:38 am PDT

      The annual price for PS Plus Premium is exactly the same as the combined prices of PS Plus and PS Now, and PS Plus Premium will offer more content.

      More content for the same price seems like a good deal to me.

      @Pro_TactX PS Plus was always overpriced and we only bought it because we wanted to play online. Now, It seem to be a good deal since it is combined with PS Now. But I’m too sure with the other tiers since we have no clue about what games they will provide.

    • luckymouse
      March 29, 2022 at 7:15 am PDT

      Unless I’m mistaken, the lowest tier still only gives you the functionality of the old PS+ subscription.

      You only get the combined PS+ and PS Now functionality by upgrading to a higher tier.

      So … it’s still the same deal as before, they just added PS1 and PS5 games to the Now portion.

    • Spacerac
      March 29, 2022 at 7:39 am PDT

      I’m not saying that how you feel is wrong or right, you do you. But you, like many people, vastly overestimate the appeal of PC gaming. Most people don’t want to be bothered and they just want to be able to plug up their game box to the TV and play.

    • Stonesthrow
      March 29, 2022 at 9:44 am PDT

      To be fair, Spacerac, console gaming has gotten a lot less “plug-and-play” and is more in line with PC gaming now, what with the constant installs, updates and everything.
      For me personally (lifelong PS fan), now that exclusives are pretty much gone, the only thing keeping me from fully transitioning to PC are the hackers on that platform. But on the other hand, on Playstation we have to pay to play online…

    • metallicsting
      March 30, 2022 at 2:24 am PDT

      I dunno man the cost of the platinum offer is about the same price as buying 2 of the latest games. So access to 700 plus games seams pretty reasonable for that price. I’d hold off till it comes as you’re going to be upgraded to that platform at no extra cost if you’re saying you’re already a ps plus member 🤷‍♂️

    What’s the procedure if like me you have several years remaining on your PS Plus subscription?

    • Sreenadh
      March 29, 2022 at 5:38 am PDT

      Yeah im in the same boat, i have playstation plus until 2032 and playstation now until 2026, im confused with how it will affect me

    • ViperHD
      March 29, 2022 at 5:44 am PDT

      The way I read this is, is that PS+ will automatically be converted to PS+ Essential and PSNow converted to PS+ Premium, where everyone’s end date remains the same. I.e. PSNow gets the better deal.
      For cases like @Sreenadh who have both subscriptions, I’m curious what they will do about those.

    • MartinWallis
      March 29, 2022 at 5:56 am PDT

      @ViperHD

      I guess my question is will I be able to upgrade and pay the difference? I don’t want to be stuck with Essential because I have 4 years on my subscription.

    • Strathmore
      March 29, 2022 at 7:05 am PDT

      I’m in the same boat. Xbox has a cap of 3-years on their subscriptions, but they made their transition a breeze for customers by automatically converting existing customers to the Ultimate tier for the duration of their banked time. Nintendo did the worst job at this when they rolled out Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, as customers with several years of banked memberships did not automatically convert 1 : 1 their time when upgrading to the higher tier.

      I honestly have no confidence that PlayStation management has considered our specific use cases, but if they stand a chance of keeping arguably their most loyal customers happy & engaged then the least they can do is convert us all to the highest tier for all the years of remaining time left on our banked subscriptions Otherwise you’re essentially sending the message that a customer who ONLY uses PS Now (as in no PS Plus) gets more value from this migration then the customers who’ve been invested in this more significantly. Seriously, there is some gamer out there with 5 years of PS Now and no years of PS Plus that’s going to be very happy today. But that’s about the only person out there who’ll likely be thrilled by this uninspired offering from PlayStation.

    • ViperHD
      March 29, 2022 at 7:22 am PDT

      @MartinWallis If you plan to upgrade to Premium, my suggestion would be to now quickly subscribe to PSNow for multiple years and take advantage of the automatic conversion into Premium. I assume that Sony will then still convert your remaining PS+ time accordingly. But of course, my guess is as good as anyone’s.

    • steeler192
      March 29, 2022 at 7:54 am PDT

      @Sreenadh This means that the money you paid for Plus between June 2022 and 2026 is lost, because Now would put you in the Plus Extra tier and thus, the benefits of Plus. You should be entitled to compensation, but what will Sony do? That’s the question…

    • MartyLives

    • zeeshanzee

    • pillowguy115

    • djdave04
      March 31, 2022 at 11:53 am PDT

      Just subscribe to the monthly $10 now on the consoles. The wording in the email sent out suggests when it goes to one tier if you have Now and Plus it’ll just go to Premium for the longest date. This also matches the glitch in Italy and Portugal last month.

  • solace357

    I’ll wait and see what is announced in the coming months but I’m baffled at this solution for PS3 games.

    • MartyLives
      March 29, 2022 at 12:13 pm PDT

      Couldn’t agree more. The truth is that people like me who love the PS3 are in the minority, and Sony knows this. Heck, they almost killed the PS3 store last year. This isn’t Netflix, streaming a game is a mediocre experience. The PS3 deserves better. If you can’t get a company to care about its own product, there isn’t much you can do.

    • solace357
      March 29, 2022 at 2:26 pm PDT

      @MartyLives – I still have my PS3 if I absolutely need to play those games, it’s just an important generation for me and I wish more titles from it were playable on PS4 and PS5, including numerous 1st party games and collections.

  • MUSCULAR_PROFIT
    March 29, 2022 at 5:33 am PDT

    TL;DR was there anything noteworthy in this post, seems like a no story to me, i’m just going to stick to base PS Plus screw that noise

  • dlbbRogueTrader
    March 29, 2022 at 5:34 am PDT

    THIS SUCKS.

    Can’t download my PS3 library of digital games. No backwards compatibility.

    Tell me Sony, will the original PlayStation and PS2 games I purchased on the PSN store on my PS3 now be added to my library??? Or are you getting people to pay to download digital assets they already own again?

    SHIFTY

    • JohnnyX
      March 29, 2022 at 5:39 am PDT

      This is my question exactly. Are we really going to have to pay a subscription to download games we already purchased on PS3 and PSP. I understand the PS3 games not being downloadable, but what about the digital PS2, PS2, and PSP games I have purchased on my account?

    • MANDO31694
      March 29, 2022 at 6:00 am PDT

      THIS!!! Sony has to answer these questions. And they know what the wrong answers are. Microsoft let us download whatever was purchased on the Xbox even 10 years ago. Sony better not have us purchases Classics we already purchased before. This is probably why they were shutting down the PS Store on the PS3. And no physical backwards compatibility is a huge slap like Will Smith

  • milesdei_krs
    March 29, 2022 at 5:35 am PDT

    so my ps now ends in october, and i have no ps plus, does this mean i’ll have psplus premium until october? im so confused

    • ViperHD
      March 29, 2022 at 5:42 am PDT

      That’s how I read it. PSNow members definitely get a great deal based on their existing subscription.
      Though afterwards, they will see their cost double, which sucks. I suspect a lot of PSNow members will now quickly extend their subscription before this kicks in.

  • macwade_99
    March 29, 2022 at 5:35 am PDT

    While I don’t like subscriptions (I have a Google Drive file tracking the dozen or so digital subscriptions I have), this seems like a good value. I might go for the top tier as I sold my PS3 console recently. I hope Sony credits customers who have pre-paid their PS Plus memberships months into the future. I might have 18 months remining on my PS Plus account.

    • MartyLives
      March 29, 2022 at 12:18 pm PDT

      Sorry, but there is no comparison between streaming a PS3 game and playing it locally. It’s like night and day. There is even lag when you navigate the main menu, forget about actually playing the game. I guess my fiber connection just isn’t fast enough.

  • JohnnyX
    March 29, 2022 at 5:37 am PDT

    So if the service allows for downloadable PSP, PS1, and PS2 games, Does that mean we will be able to access our digital purchases for those games? Or will we be forced to pay for access to them even though we purchased them digitally on our account? I am currently unable to access any classic games I purchased digitally on PS3 and PSP

  • Sreenadh
    March 29, 2022 at 5:38 am PDT

    • Maximum-90
      March 29, 2022 at 7:53 am PDT

      Looks like you will have premium until 2026 and then it will downgrade to essentials from 2026 to 2032. If these tiers even exist that far into the future…

    • steeler192
      March 29, 2022 at 7:56 am PDT

    “Offers cloud streaming access”
    If this is the same service as PS Now streaming, it’s not good enough.
    The input lag is very bad on PS3 games via cloud streaming, and is basically unplayable.
    The only way is offer to download all games locally and play them via software emulation.
    Sure the PS3 is pretty hard to emulate, but if Sony really wanted to invest in this service, it IS possible.

    Very disappointing that they didn’t drop the cloud streaming and made everything downloadable, as a certain competitor.

  • HotNFresh
    March 29, 2022 at 5:39 am PDT

    💯 PlayStation Now service is only useful for people that have never played a PlayStation Exclusive in their life (Xbox gamer, sports gamer, cod gamer). If you have every or most of the PlayStation exclusives it’s almost completely pointless. Most are single player games that are 15hrs long.

    It’s not like Xbox GamePass where you get Brand New Triple AAA Games Day 1 of release for 1st and 3rd party games. I see zero point for Playstation Now service for me or the serious PlayStation gamer.

    Hang on a second. PS+ and PSNow today both cost $60 a year.
    Yet, when this launches, PS+ is converted to the $60 PS+ Essential, while PSNow is converted to the $120 PS+ Premium.
    That doesn’t seem to make much sense to me.

    • ShaukDotDJ
      March 29, 2022 at 9:41 am PDT

      I think it’s a concession that since PSnow “only” will no longer be an alacarte option, and will become more expensive as it’s permanently saddled with ps+, they are offering that segment a better deal.

  • genkaku1990
    March 29, 2022 at 5:39 am PDT

    so… basically all the old games that I’ve bought (box or digital) I cannot play on my ps5 but, by paying more I can download or stream them as part of the new PS + tiers? sorry, but no… I’ll stick to the basic Plus for online play and still use my older consoles when I feel like it. More like Playstation Minus

    • MANDO31694
      March 29, 2022 at 6:05 am PDT

      It’s not all of them. Only a selected amount. This Sony not even trying with backwards compatibility.

    • JohnnyX
      March 29, 2022 at 6:21 am PDT

      Yea, really disappointing. I see no reason why you would not be able to download a game you purchased digitally if its being offered for download with this service. HUGE slap in the face. So essentially you will have to pay a subscription to access games you have purchased on PS3 or PSP.
      I understand PS3 games not being able to be downloaded, but what about my PS1, PS2, and PSP games I purchased on my account?

  • CosmoWolf_
    March 29, 2022 at 5:40 am PDT

    Simply combining plus and now and then charging extra is ridiculous.
    And what happens to people who have stacks or both subs?
    I have 2 years of Plus and a year of Now, so this better not be merged into essential.

    • Maximum-90
      March 29, 2022 at 7:58 am PDT

      You will get a year of premium and then it will downgrade to a second year of essentials. Hopefully they change the current plan as I have 2 or more years of PS+ left, and I’m assuming the essentials games will become crap in the future as they throw the better games into the middle tier.

  • tav7623
    March 29, 2022 at 5:40 am PDT

    Now the question is since they’re bringing in streaming/downloadable PS1 & PS2 games with the Premium Tier are they finally going to make it so people who have/had purchased digital PS1 & PS2 games on the PS3 PSN store can download & play these games they paid for on the PS4/PS5?

    • JohnnyX
      March 29, 2022 at 6:23 am PDT

      This is the question the most loyal PS fans are asking. Sony needs to answer this ASAP. No reason why I can’t access the same game your offering for download with a service if I purchased that same game digitally before on the same account I am still using.

  • UnicTunic
    March 29, 2022 at 5:40 am PDT

  • Strathmore
    March 29, 2022 at 5:41 am PDT

    What a profoundly uninspired offering from PlayStation. How disappointing that, after all the time of witnessing Xbox Game Pass absolutely slaying it with gamers, Jim Ryan and company thinks THIS is the best service they could muster. The value proposition is just not there for me.

    Xbox offers day one titles, in addition to a catalogue of legacy titles. PlayStation is offering demos & legacy titles, in addition to a catalogue of titles. This is almost as bad an offering as Nintendo Online. What a miss, PlayStation.

    Glad you’re not doing day and date exclusives on this; we all know thats not sustainable and could hurt the quality.

    As for me, I already have a big enough backlog so I will stick with essential ps plus. Don’t need to pay more to feel like I have an infinite number of games which I’ll never have time to see to completion.

    Thanks for the option, though. Some people will want to do this to themselves.

    Sorry not for me. I like current games on PS5 that show the capabilities of new hardware. I don’t want to pay for old games that I have little or no interest in. If the fee included playing the latest releases then that’s different.

    March 29, 2022 at 5:42 am PDT

    Guys it’s 80$ less than ultimate people like to cry like babies ps3 is hard to emulate if it’s not perfect they won’t put it. One thing is why ps1 is not on the list? I imagine they could also add vita later one .

      “A catalog of beloved classic games available in both streaming and download options from the original PlayStation, PS2 and PSP generations”
      It’s easy to miss because it doesn’t say “PS1” but “original Playstation” instead. So PS1 is part of it as well.

    Can we buy PS1/2/PSP games individually? instead of subscribing to the highest tier, i mean.

    My PS Plus will expire in 2025, can I upgrade to PlayStation Plus Extra for only 40$ ?

    “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.***”

    Why isn’t “PS3” included in this list?

      The bulletpoints are very awkwardly worded.
      Easy answer is because it talks about PS3 streaming two lines above that point.
      What they’re basically trying to say is “Hey no matter what region, you can download PS1, PS2, PSP and PS4 games, BUT if you happen to live in a place where PS Now is available, with PS+ Premium you could also stream those.” while PS3 is the outlier as it can only be streamed and not downloaded.

    I would rather be able to BUY PS1, PS2, and PSP games than have them tied to a subscription. I would like to play them anytime than have to pay monthly to play old games like PS Classics on PS3.

    Can we get some clarification for the base tier? This article says that it will be unchanged but clearly we’re losing a PS+ game per month. We’re currently getting 3 a month while this says it’s dropping to 2. I hope it’s a typo or explained at a later date.

    Sounds interesting. Could you please make the “Deluxe” service available for everybody else too? Streamming of PS3 games has too many issues.

    No Vita? Literally every console including PSP is included but not Vita? What gives?

    If I upgrade to the PlayStation Plus Premium, will PlayStation automatically convert the new expiration date to reflect what I’ve already paid for?

    For example, Premium is $119.99 yearly and Essential is $59.99 yearly, let’s say I had 4 years remaining of Essential with an expiration of 03/29/26 and I converted to Premium, my new automatically updated expiration date would be 03/29/24, CORRECT?

    It’s pretty pathetic that ya still can’t get PS3 games to run natively on anything.

      It’s disappointing, yes. 😥 At least I still have my old 40 GB PS3. I played Burnout Paradise for a few hours yesterday. (With a cheap SSD in it… [I’ll probably put whatever is cheaper between a good SSD or a good HDD once it dies])

    I dont comment much, but this offer is bad. First of all, instead of expanding your streaming capabilities, you created a separate deluxe version, which you say will be cheaper, which will probably end up in 5-10 eur savings. The tiers are still to expensive, plus was already too expensive and now its the basic version, unless you are counting on discounted prices.

    And I dont get it why are u locking ps1,ps2,ps3 behind the most expensive tiers,of which the latter I cant even access,because “Now” is not supported in my country.

    You’re trying to be both Nintendo and Microsoft at the same time and it just sucks!

    Para quem quer jogar os jogos do PS1, PS2 e PSP, poderam compra-los e joga-los sem esta na assinatura ?
    Para quem já tem o psplus podera ter um desconto ao fazer o upgrade ou será a preço cheio ?

    sound like can not buy old games just under subscription & is there any graphics improvement or fps boost

    • Bowi_QC

      Buy to play on what? A PS4? A PS5? I’m genuinely curious because I only own a PS4 (and a PS3) with no plan to ever buy a PS5. I’ll look into the Premium tier for PC.

    So you’re locking PS1, PS2 and PSP games behind the most expensive tier with no option to buy the titles separately? F you, Sony.
