eurogamer.net:

Following months of unconfirmed reports, Sony has finally made its long-rumoured PlayStation Plus overhaul official.

The new service, which launches in June, combines features of both PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now into one service with three distinct subscription tiers.

The three tiers are as follows:

PlayStation Plus Essential (£6.99 monthly / £19.99 quarterly / £49.99 yearly) offers the same benefits as PlayStation Plus now, namely two monthly downloadable games, online multiplayer access, cloud storage for saved games, and extra discounts.

PlayStation Plus Extra (£10.99 monthly / £31.99 quarterly / £83.99 yearly) adds to the above a catalogue of 400 PS4 and PS5 games to download «including blockbuster hits from our PlayStation Studios catalogue and third-party partners».

PlayStation Plus Premium (£13.49 monthly / £39.99 quarterly / £99.99 yearly) goes further, with 340 additional games. PS3 games will be available to stream, while classic PS1, PS2 and PSP games will be available to stream or download. Time-limited game trials will also be included for players to try before they buy.

At launch, Death Stranding, God of War, Marvel's Spider-Man, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Mortal Kombat 11, and Returnal will be included in the Extra and Premium tiers.

From June, PlayStation Now will transition to the new-look service and no longer be available as a standalone product. Existing customers will be automatically moved to the Premium tier. Existing PlayStation Plus users will remain on the Essential tier.

The launch begins in June with a phased regional approach, starting in Asia, followed by North America, Europe and the rest of the world where PlayStation Plus is offered. Sony aims to have «most» PlayStation
