Sony has officially rebranded PlayStation Plus with 700+ games slated to hit the service in June 2022. PlayStation Plus’ new service model will provide additional benefits on top of what players are already enjoying with their current PS Plus membership.
According to Sony’s official blog, from the time of launch, the PS Plus schemes will be divided into three categories: Essential, Extra, and Premium, as it looks to cater to a variety of player needs and demands.
This was the rumored “Spartacus” subscription model that the company has been devising to compete with Xbox’s Game Pass. While the speculated name may not have stuck, the organization is now officially launching the model.
The subscription rates for each of the three models will be different, with Premium offering the highest number of benefits from the lot.
