SONY PLAYSTATION PLUS SUBSCRIPTION NETWORK DOWNLOAD
The revamped Sony service combines the current PlayStation Plus, which has 48 million subscribers and offers online gaming and only a few free games each month, with PlayStation Now, which has 3.2 million users and a library of games to download and stream. Sony is widely seen as leading in the console war, selling 17 million PlayStation 5 (PS5) units even as chip shortages hit production, but has been under pressure to respond to the growth of Netflix-style game subscription services. “There will be more from PlayStation Studios, and all of the major publishers will be represented,” Ryan said. The service will not include new releases, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan told Reuters, but users can still find big-budget titles such as “Returnal” and “God of War”. Sony said its expanded PlayStation Plus service will offer hundreds of games, including recent hits such as “Spider-Man: Miles Morales,” for a flat monthly fee when it launches in the United States, Europe and Japan in June. Sony Group’s revamp of its PlayStation subscription service is a major step toward levelling the playing field with Microsoft’s rival Game Pass, although holding back new releases may dampen enthusiasm, analysts say.
