Yesterday, we reported that Sony is preparing to introduce a new videogame subscription service for the PlayStation this week. Now, the company has officially announced this service, revealing that it is a fusion between the PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now and retains the PlayStation Plus name.

Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) states that the new subscription service will be made available in three tiers. The first is the PlayStation Plus Essential, which is basically the service in its current state and provides users with at least 2 free games every month along with access to multiplayer.

The next tier dubbed the PlayStation Plus Extra will provide players with a catalog of 400 downloadable games including blockbuster hits from the PlayStation Studios catalog and third-party partners.

The PlayStation Plus Premium subscription provides all the benefits from the Essential and Extra tiers and adds up to 340 additional games including PS3 games available via cloud streaming and beloved classic games available in both streaming and download options from the original PlayStation, PS2, and PSP generations. This tier will also offer time-limited game trials so so customers can try select games before they buy. It would be interesting to see if this service will also be made available for new titles so users can try them before they buy.

At launch, Sony plans to include titles such as Death Stranding, God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Mortal Kombat 11, and Returnal.

Sony has also assured that most PlayStation Network territories will have the new PlayStation Plus service by the end of the first half of 2022. SIE has also revealed the prices of their subscription service for various territories like the US, Europe, UK, and Japan which you can check out on their official blog post.
