Sony confirms new PlayStation Plus release dates for the US and Europe
(Pocket-lint) — Sony plans to launch its new PlayStation Plus tiers in the Americas in June, the company announced Friday. It will roll them out first in Asia on 23 May 2022, although Japan has a 1 June release date. The Americas are up next on 13 June, and then a Europe launch is set for 22 June. That means, by end of June, the new PlayStation Plus tiers will be available widely.
Sony first announced the new tiers in March. At the time, it confirmed an all-new structure was coming for its PlayStation Plus subscription service. The new service will have three tiers, in the form of PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium, each costing slightly more than the last but offering an expanded roster of features.
The new tiers also signal the end of PlayStation Now, which offers a collection of PS4, PS3, and PS2 that you can install or stream on a PS5, PS4, or PC. Sony said PlayStation Now will be folded into the top tier of PlayStation Plus to maintain its offer of game streaming, and existing users will transition across between membership types.
