Comment on PlayStation Plus price increase announced for new customers

PS+ does have higher tiers with more benefits. The mid-tier one gives access to a ton of PS4 and PS5 games, and the top tier adds older games and cloud gaming.

And even base PS+ has SharePlay. That’s got to be my most-used feature, but I never see people talk about it.

Yea, I intentionally restricted my post to the base tiers as gamepass has a similar schema since they both show similar featuresets at higher tiers.

I made a basic breakdown:

Basic

ps essentials: 11$/m

multiplayer

shareplay

save backups

discounts on store

monthly games selection valid for duration of subscription

gamepass essential: 10$/m

multiplayer

free game catalog: 123 [81 of which supported on Windows as well]

cloud gaming: 87

in game benefits in select first party games

rewards program

Mid Tier

PS Extra: 15$/m

previous tier

free game catalog: 409

ubisoft classics program

Gamepass Premium: 15$/m

previous tier

free game catalog: 572 [395 of which is supported on windows]

cloud gaming: 412

First party games promised to be on game catalog within 1 year of release (Call of Duty Excluded)

semi-priority cloud play queue

2x reward points

Best Tier

PS Premium: 18$/m

previous tier

classics catalog: 163

game trial catalog: 260

sony pictures catalog (a movie/media streaming service)

cloud streaming

Gamepass Ultimate: 23$/m

previous tier

free game catalog: 909 [587 of which are supported on windows]

cloud gaming: 555

day 1 first party releases on free game catalog (Call of Duty excluded)

Free EA Play: 182 games + select DLC

ubisoft classics: 120

fortnite crew

priority cloud gaming

4x reward points

This was just a somewhat quick list of info found online when comparing the two. I can see each tier being useful to someone, but I personally find that Sonys offerings for PS+ don’t stack to Gamepass, and that’s from someone who has been loyal sony fan since the PS1.
