IT House February 27 news, there was news that Sony will launch a new PlayStation subscription service, competing with Microsoft Xbox Game Pass, the news said that the service's code name is "Spartacus Plan", foreign media VentureBeat reporter Jeff Grubb broke the news in the live broadcast that he has obtained Sony's undisclosed new PS game subscription service information.
IT House understands that according to Jeff Grubb, the Spartacus Program is divided into three different price points:
The basic version costs $10 and basically has the same content as PS Plus;
The $13 premium edition will offer 250-300 games, all downloadable on PS Now, but no streaming service.
The $16 Platinum Edition includes all of the above, with classic games, streaming services, and game demos.
In addition, one of the biggest selling points of Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass is that all Microsoft first-party games will join XGP on the day of their launch, but according to jeff Grubb's information, Sony does not seem to follow this strategy.
According to Grubb, testing of the new subscription service is planned to start "in the coming weeks." In addition to this, there may also be an announcement in March. However, the full rollout of the service will depend on PlayStation's ability to provide the service, which may require some additional fine-tuning.
