New PlayStation Plus India prices revealed: Tiers, date, upgrade path, and more

Sony’s Gaming division, PlayStation, has established itself as the market leader ever since the first PS1 console launched more than two decades ago. With strong first-party developers like Sony Santa Monica, Guerrilla Games, and Insomniac Games, the brand has established itself as one of the biggest developers and publishers.

Sony India has officially unveiled the new pricing for PlayStation Plus in the country. While India will be missing out on the full feature set of PlayStation Plus Premium due to the lack of cloud gaming, it will have access to the stripped-down PlayStation Plus Deluxe.

With the Xbox Game Pass introduction, the industry witnessed a new form of video game accessibility. It is a subscription-based service that brings a library of excellent titles for a fixed monthly price.

While with a subscription service, players do not have ownership of their games, it encourages them to try new genres and play various games. Both Ubisoft with the Ubisoft + and Electronic Arts with the EA Play have found success.

Following a series of rumors and speculations, Sony has officially announced a revamped plan for PlayStation Plus.

Instead of providing only multiplayer access and a couple of free games every month, it will be adopting a model not too distinct from Xbox’s Game Pass, with access to a massive library of games, including those from previous generations.

While it should be mentioned that, unlike Xbox’s Game Pass, it won’t include new games on day 1.

Unfortunately, unlike North American and European regions, India does not have access to PS Now. It is a streaming service where players can enjoy selective titles directly streaming. This is especially painful considering the PS3 library is limited to cloud streaming
