Comment on PlayStation Plus price increase announced for new customers
Pika@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoYea, 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
- ps essentials: 11$/m
- Mid Tier
- PS Extra: 15$/m
- previous tier
- free game catalog: 409
- ubisoft classics program
- Gamepass Premium: 15$/m
- previous tier
- free game catalog: 572 [395 of which is supported on windows]
- cloud gaming: 412
- First party games promised to be on game catalog within 1 year of release (Call of Duty Excluded)
- semi-priority cloud play queue
- 2x reward points
- PS Extra: 15$/m
- Best Tier
- PS Premium: 18$/m
- previous tier
- classics catalog: 163
- game trial catalog: 260

- cloud streaming
- Gamepass Ultimate: 23$/m
- previous tier
- free game catalog: 909 [587 of which are supported on windows]
- cloud gaming: 555
- day 1 first party releases on free game catalog (Call of Duty excluded)
- Free EA Play: 182 games + select DLC
- ubisoft classics: 120
- fortnite crew
- priority cloud gaming
- 4x reward points
- PS Premium: 18$/m
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.

sony’s classic catalogue is such a huge disappointment. i shouldnt have to keep a ps2 to play its games in the year 2026. maybe ill get it on my xbox 🤣
