After months of reports on the merger of PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now in a single subscription service, PlayStation has finally announced that it is doing exactly that with the launch of what PlayStation Plus still calls. As of June in specific markets, PlayStation Plus will have different levels with certain benefits associated with each: PlayStation Plus Essential, PlayStation Plus Extra and PlayStation Plus Premium.
“The new extra and premium levels represent a great evolution for PlayStation Plus,” said Jim Ryan, president and Executive Director of Sony Interactive Entertainment, as part of the announcement. “With these levels, our key focus is to ensure that the hundreds of games we offer include the best quality content that differentiates us. In the launch, we plan to include titles such as Death Stranding, God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Mortal Kombat 11 and Return. We are working in close collaboration with our imaginative PlayStation Studios developers and external partners to include some of the best game experiences available with a library that will be updated periodically. Soon more details about the games we will have in our new PlayStation Plus service “.
