The new PlayStation Plus, currently planned for a June rollout, mostly mimics the tiered structure of Game Pass. PlayStation Now, Sony’s existing cloud gaming subscription, was last counted at 3.2 million subscribers, while PlayStation Plus, the subscription that grants access to online play, cloud storage, store discounts and monthly free games, has been facing stagnating growth. But it’s still essential to catching up to Xbox, whose Xbox Game Pass service now sports 25 million subscribers and is set to grow further in value once parent Microsoft’s $69 billion purchase of publishing giant Activision Blizzard closes in 2023. This wasn’t the most surprising news, as Bloomberg accurately reported on these plans in December. Sony has taken the next step in addressing competitive shortcomings at PlayStation by combining its existing PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now subscriptions into one three-tiered system maintaining the name of the former, per Sony Interactive Entertainment president and CEO Jim Ryan’s post on the company blog Tuesday.
