The new PlayStation Plus service went live on Monday and offers subscribers a catalogue of several hundred new and old games to South Africans come 23 June.<\/p>\n
The service, previously known as project Spartacus, is Sony\u2019s answer to the growing popularity of Microsoft\u2019s Xbox Game Pass.<\/p>\n
However, while the two do offer similar services, PlayStation Plus does not have day one releases included in its roster of features while Game Pass does.<\/p>\n
Likewise, PlayStation Plus now offers three tiers of subscription to players.<\/p>\n
The first tier, PlayStation Plus Essential, provides two downloadable games a month, discounts, and access to online multiplayer \u2013 it will replace the old PlayStation Plus features.<\/p>\n
The next two tiers are where the key features lie as the Extra tier offers a catalogue of around 400 PS4\/5 games, and the final tier – Deluxe\/Premium – offers all the benefits of the other plans in addition to access to definitive games from the Classics Catalogue.<\/p>\n
South Africa sadly does not have access to cloud streaming for gaming yet and are therefore not offered the cloud gaming feature of Sony’s Premium package.<\/p>\n
Therefore, we have the Deluxe package instead – which is slightly cheaper and only excludes cloud gaming compared to Premium.<\/p>\n
Below you can find the prices for the three new tiers for PlayStation Plus for 1-month, 3-month and 12-month purchases respectively as well as the features offered for each.<\/p>\n
