The new PlayStation Plus is a patched up membership service that consolidates Sony’s past PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now offerings to provide gamers with hundreds of games for a monthly fee. With the success and openness that Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass has given, it was inevitable that PlayStation would try something almost identical.
There are three levels: Essential, Extra and Premium. The first is just another name for what PlayStation Plus presented previously, which was a little month to month choice of games on top of essential online benefits. Extra adds a gigantic game list, giving gamers access to around 400 PS4 and PS5 games. The most costly level is Premium. It incorporates everything from the past levels alongside PS3 game streaming and access to choose PlayStation legacy content from its PS1, PS2 and PSP catalog. Time-limted game trials are accessible as well.
Here is a summary of every level’s cost:
• Essential: $9.99 monthly/$59.99 yearly
• Extra: $14.99 monthly/$99.99 yearly
• Premium: $17.99 monthly/$119.99 yearly
Whether New PlayStation Plus is worth relies on what you look for from it. Would you like to play the newest and hottest games? Or would you like to play more established titles? Do you like indie games or Japanese ones?
The new PlayStation Plus offers a lot of games and elements for the price. However the Premium level actually needs some sorting through. Unless you care about the classics, most gamers will be fine with the Essential or Extra.
