Players may worry that, with the increase in content being offered, the price will increase as well. That’s not necessarily the case, however. It all depends on how much of an investment the player is willing to put in.
RELATED: Is PS Plus Premium Worth the Price?
The new PlayStation Plus has three subscription tiers. Each one costs more than the last, but each one offers a greater variety of games and features.
PlayStation Plus Essentials
Monthly Price: $9. 99 / €8. 99 / £6. 99 / ¥850 Quarterly Price: $24. 99 / €24. 99 / £19. 99 / ¥2150 Yearly Price: $59. 99 / €59. 99 / £49. 99 / ¥5143
Playstation Plus Essentials is the baseline subscription and offers the same services as the old PlayStation Plus. Players get access to online play, cloud storage support, and a rotating set of monthly free games. Those uninterested in the new features should stick here.
PlayStation Plus Extra
Monthly Price: $14. 99 / €13. 99 / £10. 99 / ¥1,300 Quarterly Price: $39. 99 / €39. 99 / £31. 99 / ¥3,600 Yearly Price: $99. 99 / €99. 99 / £83. 99 / ¥8,600
PlayStation Plus Extra offers everything that the Essential Tier offers, plus streaming access to, at the time of writing, around 400 PS4 and PS5 games. While none of them are new releases, the games on offer include AAA titles like God of War and Death Stranding.
PlayStation Plus Premium
Monthly Price: $17. 99 / €16. 99 / £13. 49 / ¥1,550 Quarterly Price: $49. 99 / €49. 99 / £39. 99 / ¥4,300 Yearly Price: $119. 99 / €119. 99 / £99. 99 / ¥10,250
PlayStation Plus Premium, as the title suggests, is the most expensive but most expansive tier. Alongside the perks offered in Essential and Extra, Premium offers, at the time of writing, around 340 games from the PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP.
As a bonus feature, PlayStation Premium offers a trial system, allowing players to demo major titles before buying.
People who were already subscribed to the defunct PlayStation Now shouldn’t worry about having to re-subscribe. Players who haven’t canceled their PlayStation Now subscriptions will have their membership upgraded to PlayStation Plus Premium automatically.
