PlayStation's Shuhei Yoshida has reiterated Sony’s commitment to releasing its games as premium titles first, before appearing on PS Plus later.

discussed the expansion of the PlayStation Plus service and how the company views adding new titles to the service at launch.

“The new PS Plus has tiers and essentially it’s like the old PS Plus, we still release two or three new games every month, and a new tier, Extra, has a catalogue of hundreds of games for people to play. For Extra, our approach [is] we like to help the publishers [with] lifecycle management.

He added: “Some people might have missed these games when they came out and it’s a great chance to play and generate word-of-mouth or if there’s DLC or a sequel going, we can help elevate interest to a broader audience about the franchise. So we are encouraging publishers to make use of these services in managing the lifecycle of each title.”

Honestly, quality over quantity any time!

Commitment 😆🤦

That's why I will never subscribe

So Sony's Premium service doesn't get premium games? its not exactly premium then. this sends the wrong message.

So, PlayStation, why would I purchase PS+? I mean, it's not like I'm paying an excessively unreasonable 70 bucks for a video game, so I guess I'm waiting anyway.

remember their motto? 'greatness awaits' well, I'll wait until they're on pc and modded with VR mode. thanks, enjoy the indie VR minigames...

I think any remakes or remasters should at least go day and date for the plus.

So then what was Stray? That was day n date.

📉📉📉📉📉

PayStation

a traditional release that has been going on for years.....now they call it 'premium' 🤣🤣 poor ponies who believe any nonsense

Same Game: First = Pay Then = Pay After that = Pay Next Gen = Pay

The right way to do game's 👌🏾keep it up Sony PlayStation

for a quick sec i read this as shu has retired

Fxxk subscription 👍

The problem is most games tend to fall in price after release so once a game hits the bargain bin, renting the game seems silly.

I will just wait for them to hit Ps Plus because IM NOT PAYING $70 FOR VIDEO GAMES

if Playstation and Nintendo are charging normally for new games and they have first party triple A games this year, and Microsoft is doing the opposite and has zero triple A first party games this year, I'm gonna go with Nintendo and sony's model.

I don't mind this so long as 1st party titles are added PS+ indefinitely & not only for a couple months.

Humm not convinced. I mean they only said this 5 times, maybe if they say it one more time .. 🙃

As it should be

Good.

Makes sense and I’m all for it. Developers first so they can make their money and not give in the cheap ass gamers.

Well if they appear on ps plus later I will just wait, with day one updates and fixes, prob be a better version than launch day games

That's why PS is going to go by the drain. Sony's old way of thinking it won't last long. Sony's first titles are beginning to appear on PC.

'We want to charge our fanboys $70 first'

It's fine.

Great news for Sony fans as they love - 🔵Paying £70 a game 🔵Defending Sony 🔵Hating subscription services

Sony PS playing dirty, limiting Xbox versions of games. The most powerful console is being held back on performance Sony pays for exclusive content on 3rd party games but blocks any possible exclusive content on other platforms

L

In other words…

It’s cool that’s their business 😁

It's a formula that works for them as gamepass is a formula that works for xbox

Sony is committed to being less consumer friendly. Got it.

SavageKingx30 The Best way to do it.

It’s wild to me how Gamepass has broken the brain of so many gamers by now, games were never free before and they shouldn’t be if you want quality over quantity. If everything became a subscription service there would be no incentive to deliver quality experiences in gaming.

Ant this is a good thing! Sony games worth every penny 👌

This is great and all, they can follow their idea of how they wanna manage their business but... why screw gamepass over the fear of games las cod 1st day on gamepass along the way?

That's what we want to hear yosp

Keep it up please, 🙏

Exactly why sony playstation and Nintendo will always be the best

Games shouldn't be classes as premium products. They should absolutely not be only for the rich. You should be able to game no matter your economic situation. Video games should never have a high barrier to entry. It's just classim

Nothing wrong with that. The gaming space is more than large enough to accommodate subscription services and this model.

F*ck PlayShit

Will wait for them to release on ps plus then

Xbox Game Pass is Dangerous Threat for the Video Game Industry According to Xbox creator.

Makes sense

Stafield, redfall, avowed, perfect dark etc are premium titles lol.

Good

What a slimy business

Sony new business model reiterated as: Suck'em up good first, then suck'em up more Because u know, for the payer.

Awesome

Soon it’ll turn to day one release. 😂😂😂😂

Good.

Sony just doesn’t learn🤣🤣

Sony - 'We would like to do day and date but since Jim Ryan opened his big mouth and said it's not good for the industry we will have to launch them 3-6 months later to save face'

Yes, Mr shuhei completely agrees. Quality has its price. No matter which product is. Whether it's a car, shoes or anything else. Love, dedication, diligence and innovation must be rewarded and respected. This is the only way to develop and risk to make new things happen.

so 70 dollars games

Meanwhile on Xbox 'You want to play this new game? Sure here you go. What's that? You want to play it on PC also? Sure, just download and off you go. Hmm? You want cross progression? Sure..we can fix that..here you go' Over at PlayStation 'That'll be $70~$100'

Yoshida confirmed that PS Plus 'Premium' is not Premium! It is actually, PS+ 'Inadequate' as 18$/m for old games. No PC subscription. Cross-save doesn't exist for most games. BC is locked behind a paywall. I recommend if you can get PS+ Extra on a deal, try that one instead.

Same as they do for pc games basically

So they gonna make u pay and then release it 3 to 6 months later wtf? They might as well go with the gamepass model and just get the subscriptions that will make more money than trying to hope u sell 15 to 20 million games and fyi most games don't do those numbers

That's why PS Plus will never be as good as Game Pass, the greatest value in gaming. If they want to compete Sony should put more games like Stray Day1 on PS Plus.

Like movies
