'All-New PlayStation Plus' Subscription Tiers Explained - IGN Daily Fix

On today's IGN The Fix: Games,

Sony has finally announced its revision of its PlayStation Plus subscription service, effectively combining PS Plus and PS Now, alongside adding premium tiers that look likely to compete with Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass. With the new PlayStation Plus Premium and PlayStation Plus Extra, subscribers will be able to download or stream hundreds of PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 games including 340 games from PS3, PS2, PS1 and PSP.

Sony's PlayStation Plus subscription service will not add first-party exclusive games to PlayStation Plus on the day they release (at least not yet). PlayStation boss Jim Ryan says in the short term brand new games from the likes of Naughty Dog, Insomniac, or Guerrilla would not arrive on the service on day one launch. Currently, Xbox Game Pass offers day one launch access via Xbox Game Pass though SONY PlayStation Jim Ryan says SONY's stance could change very quickly.

Amazon has confirmed it will have PS5 Digital stock on Wednesday, March 30, 2022 for Prime members only, and stock will be available from 8AM PT / 11AM ET. Narz Breaks down how to prepare to increase your chance of snagging a PS5!

Visual explanations of the tiers would have been a better explanation for viewers.

[boltywolty]

They definitely missed the trick of going with the bronze/silver/gold naming of the tiers, following the trophies.

[filipesilva]

My biggest problem is that ps plus offerings will be really rubbish from now on because they want to sell the higher tier…

[Iocker]

ive got 5 years of ps plus already, if they do me dirty the way Nintendo did with the expansion pass ill be upset

[VIIJ]

Gotta work hard for all those subscriptions. Netflix, Disney+, Spotify, Game Pass or PS Premium, o365, etc

[duplicitouskendoll]

Who remembers when you bought a console and had 100% of it's features from the very start, then you bought a game and had 100% of the game right from the first time you play it?

[OneTrueShadow]

Should have been like trophy tier PS Platinum/Gold/Bronze would have been better

[shaneoraph]

Fingers crossed for Def Jam Vendetta and DJ Fight For New York! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

[wylerXL]

her explanation of the new ps plus tier makes me even more confused. can we just have a simple graph instead?

[nomad]

Sounds overly complicated, expensive, and underwhelming.

[bhuvangunessee]

A 2€/month multiplayer only tier would have been nice. Too bad.

[VitaEx]

How will downloaded ps1 games work ? Do you have to be online to play them Dan you keep them if your service ends ?

[badaboom]

If they get the Simpson’s hit and run I’ll get the subscription just for that lol been wanting to play that game for years

[Andy-wonderbat]

Will any of these be added for ps4/ps5 Australian gamers? Someone clearly explain these for me please

[TheBigMurk]

can you play the PS Now games on PC though? like with Xbox Gamepass Ultimate

[anthonyelliott]

I'd rather just keep it the way it is

[Malicos]

How do we know if we have a playstation plus or an xbox gold?

[clipzz]

When is the new ps now coming and what games will be expected?

[xjwolfxgaming]

If it's going to convert your plus to premium I'm definitely getting atleast 5 years of ps plus

[supportoftech]

Okay so is the PlayStation extra going to be like all the downloadable games free or like you now have the option to but them?
