PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium are Sony's take on Xbox's Game Pass
as it looks to take on Microsoft's all-conquering Game Pass. The company is keeping the PlayStation Plus branding as it combines PS Plus and PlayStation Now into a three-tier service, but don't expect Sony to add new PS4 or PS5 games on their release day. The two new tiers will go live in June.PlayStation Plus Essential is the lowest tier and it's effectively the same as the current version of PS Plus.
The Extra tier costs $15 per month; $40 per quarter and $100 per year in the US; €14 per month, €40 per quarter and €100 per year in Europe; £11 per month, £32 per quarter and £84 per year in the UK; and ¥1,300 per month, ¥3,600 per quarter and ¥8,600 per year in Japan.At the top end is PlayStation Plus Deluxe. You'll get access to everything in the Essential and Extra tiers, of course, and this is where the PS Now aspect really comes into play.
Here's where things get a little a more complex. Deluxe subscribers will be able to stream PS1, PS2 and PSP games, as well as PS4 titles on the Extra tier, but only in markets where PS Now is currently available: the US, Canada, Japan, UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden.
