All-new PlayStation Plus launches in June with 700+ games and more value than ever

[bikeman223]

Just noticed that Vita titles aren't in the mix at all. Admittedly it's not a large backlog but you'd think they try and find a way to include them.

If this was supposed to be competition for xbox's game pass, its a fucking joke.

 

At this point, Sony isn't a clown, its the whole circus.

Give us the list of these 700 games, Sony. You had time to count them, now let us see the content.

[JavaNext]

Its mostly as expected, the only good thing that can come out of this is if they start adding more games to the previous generations line-up and improve streaming quality. Also a bit surprised trophy support wasnt added to older titles.

 Whatever the case, Im sticking to the base plan, still have my older consoles if I need them.

This is what I wanna know. I'm happy to pay a sub for a few months here and there during periods I know I'll have more free time to play and try out some games I wouldn't have otherwise bought. It's what I do with my Xbox/Game Pass.

Love seeing all the people seething over this when it's on them for believing every hyped up rumor. This was always going to be a rebranding of Now with extras, nothing more.

Sony isn't really able to blow money to the extent that Microsoft does either, and that includes making things as cheap as some people expect them to.

 

I'm disappointed over the PS3 games, but I'd assume it just isn't worth the money given how - relatively speaking - few people would actually benefit from them running natively.

Vita games would've also been nice, even if just the ones that were compatible with the PlayStation TV, but I suppose they could always add them somewhere down the line.

 

Mostly curious about what PS1, PS2, and PSP games will be offered, and if any of them will have trophy support.

I do wish that we could just buy them instead, but at least there's other stuff included and they offer multiple billing options unlike Nintendo's NSO + Expansion Pack nonsense.

What's your problem with it exactly? 

[JourneySilvers]

Is there a reason that ps3 games are only cloud based and not downloadable? 

 

Also is the legacy content locked to this service, or would we be able to purchase them individually...? I know it's a long shot, but I'd prefer to buy what I want instead of paying a recurring service fee.

Terrible deal, streaming only for those legacy titles just ruins it.

 

Also, 2 free games now instead of 3. Thanks a lot Sony

Just open the PS Now app, that's the games they are talking about.

I've been saying for ages that I would pay for a service that bundles PS+ and Now together and at 83.99 its also a little bit cheaper, so I think i'll upgrade. I'm not too interested in the older games, so this suits me fine.

I think you are giving Sony too much credit here. Quite a tone deaf move of them.

[cy1999aek_maik]

So if every Ps Now subscription will translate to a ps plus premium subscription does that mean if I buy a year of ps now for 50£ right now, I will get the 100£ ps + premium for 50£ off on a year? Did Sony just scam themselves by announcing this?

Your PS4/PS5 can't run the ps3 code natively, obviously. 

 

Pretty nice deal. Nothing really changes for the current subscribers, which is good. Plus added benefit of gamepass-like service for extra money. Maybe I'll grab the Extra deal for 3 months if the library of games will interest me.

I still have Plus for probably another 6 years and my Now is going to expire in June. I'm curious if to be able to upgrade to Plus Extra I will have to pay the difference between the Tiers, which is an extra $40

 

That's not that bad, will wait for what those 400 titles are and will decide based on that. I expect it's going to be a majority of the current PS Now listing but will still wait. Whether it's 700 or 400 I don't really care if they up the numbers with trash games.

Where you gonna buy it from? I can't find anywhere. 

[ShadowReplicant]

After today's monthly games reveal, I think I'll be going for the "PlayStation Plus Unsubscribed" tier.

According to an article published by german GamesPro it will remain a 2+1 system (the PS5 game is seen as a bonus)

It still appears for me here https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/ps-now/

Will keep rolling along with the base plan and Gamefly.  Think I paid $180/year for my 2 game plan on a promo which I think is more than fair, and my gaming budget excel would agree lol.  Plus you don't have to guess if 3rd parties will be a part of the plan.  It doesn't even say if 1st party games will be included outside a possible demo.

 

Gamefly also works with Nintendo games, of which very few are worth the full $60 these days.

Price, way to expensive for 70% of games we have probably already been given through plus. We're talking double the price of plus to get the most out of it. 

 

As an Australian it's about goddamn time we get cloud streaming, its been literally years and we're still waiting and according to the article we're still getting screwed over.

[NewDust]

Any word on how they are going to handle the transition for current Plus and Now subscribers? Hoping for a Game Pass style transition, but preparing to be disappointed.

I opened the app but don't see it? Which tab is it under? 

 

EDIT: Disregard read your response incorrectly.

Honestly? This doesn't sounds much like Gamepass, or even equivalent, or better. Gamepass is amazing because of all the new releases that are on there. This just seems like old games from PS Now streaming. If I wanted that, I would have gotten PS Now. I was really hoping for something like Gamepass, to play new games on. Meh.
