For months there were rumors about the new PlayStation Plus - now Sony has revealed the first details about the subscription. PS Plus and PS Now will run under one name in the future and will be available in three different tariffs. The service is already scheduled to launch in June 2022 - first in Asia and shortly thereafter in Europe.

Catalog with hundreds of games will become part of PS Plus

While the Essential membership will continue to deliver the familiar PS Plus benefits, subscribers to the Extra and Premium plans can look forward to a wide selection of games that can be downloaded or streamed on PS5 and PS4 at no additional cost. Up to 400 titles from PlayStation Studios and third-party providers are expected to be playable at launch. This includes highlights such as Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Returnal, Death Stranding and Mortal Kombat 11.

Premium model with previous PlayStation classics.

The most expensive plan on the new PS Plus will also give subscribers access to a catalog of up to 340 games from the PS1, PS2, PSP and PS3 eras. As with PS Now, the titles for PS3 can only be used via cloud streaming.

The other classics are also offered as downloads, so you don't have to be connected to the Internet all the time to play, unlike with cloud gaming. However, there was no preview of the retro library here yet. You can find out what the different rates look like on page 2!
