PS5 Will Offer 'PS Plus Premium', Says Nonsensical Rumour

Maybe they are doing xbox live silver vs gold or something where Plus is free and Plus Plus would have the features of plus plus plus plus features and cost money like Plus does now... Plus it's all a rumor....combined that plus how little sense a plus plus would make, it's probably all plus sized nonsense.

I do think Sony will restructure PS Plus in some way once the PS5 launches, but this ain't it.

LEAK ALERT!! The next console is called the Play and it's a premium service to unlock the 'station 5'

oh man.

first he picks the most obvious release dates for the ps5 (march/november 2020) and than claims that he is making a launch game but does not know the exact release date of the ps5?

is he even trying?

A "PlayStation Plus Now" be a good idea combining Plus and Now together, for a reasonable price

PushSquare:
'To put it bluntly, the post is nonsense. The anonymous source claims that the PS5 is launching in either March or November 2020. '

Ummmm non sense indeed....

Seriously though that ps+ premium may not be that crasy. Xbox s planning something similar.

The PS5 will also stimulate the part of the brain called "Shatner's Bassoon".

Not gonna lie, Ive kind of hoped for a higher tier Plus service for a while now. Like packaging services together at discounted price is what I was hoping for. Something like Plus Premium at 24.99 a month gets you access to plus, ps now, and maybe a few movie rentals a month or something.

I could see it. They've already gimped PS+ to where it's basically just PS4 games and online, maybe on PS5 it will only be online and sales and you'll need Premium to get the games.

I do like the name. Everything else sounds Bogus.

@Futureshark Love a Brass Eye reference...

I wouldnt be surprised if a NOW/PLUS bundle package came out for Ps5. The alpha bs seems just that- bs. If this is where the industry is gonna go you can kiss a fully finished game goodbye completely.

I’d like a PS+ Minus - allowing me to play online for a lower price, without having to pay extra for the right to loan games I either already own or have no interest in playing.

Sony do like money...

Not that much nonsense if you think about it, pretty sure the powers that be over at sony will have at least discussed something like this and while the possible release dates seem a bit vague the march 2020 is quite likely because it's inside the current financial year which ties in with what Japanese business analysts have been suggesting.

Ps plus premium

Ps4 games plus....

Vita and Ps3 games - £10 per month.

@Sinton I want that service too! I'm good with just paying for online, they can keep those "free" games.

"...and then you'll get access to alpha builds, and beta builds, and then your own private server, and then it'll talk to you, and then it'll play PC games, and then it'll give you free stuff when you play, and then it'll do all my homework for me, and my Dad could totally beat your Dad in a fight, so there."

Increase the price and offer a better service. Humble bundle offer great games every month for around £9 puts the ps plus service to shame. Model it on that

PS Plus Plus!

(Have to write something else as minimum character limit, how stupid PS)

The price of ps+ goes up some more yay . Why not make it 100 and be done with it lol
The thing is games are so so big these days. That you play one game for ages and then move on to another and have to adjust to different control scheme's.
These things ( "xbox pass" ) for example are for people that play one game for 2 days then move on to another and want the latest and greatest.
But say a hardcore gamer gets though 15 games a year how can ( unlimited games !!! ) benefit them.

I think ( Know ) ps+ is better than xbox gold though its very barebones on xbox and the sales stick it's a bit ( nintendo ) all the crappy games or over priced sale games all the games people don't want ( That you could get on disc cheaper ). No matter what though i remember the good old days of the ps3 and multi player being free because people spent enough on games as things where and that more than covered the cost games sales and accessories.

@hotukdeals That is more then double so i hope they give a better deal. 😁

@Luna-Harmony Only 15 games a year thats not so much.

@Flaming_Kaiser Depends if they are big AAA games and if someone is going for all the trophies or not. I said 15 to cover trophies and if the game is massive like the division ( Things to do ) Red dead for example.

@Luna-Harmony I stay away from liveservice games i like too finish stuff. So i can have a lot off different experiences. And i just dont have the time plus liveservice feels like a chore.

Idk man if this is true then it’ll feel like Sony has a Paytreon... & this is like thier 2nd tier... I can see if this is true unless the features given are just “I NEEDS THIS IN MY LIFE” level of yes... I can see backlash cus you’re charging even moar... for more fluff that is cool/desireable but may be too much for the consumer... or just annoying/too greedy, we know Sony is a corporation that in the end cares for that green stuff but ya don’t wanna be too greedy about it...

But hey this could be BS & some are gonna overreact... I can see it either way...

i'd be more interested in a cheaper option that includes only multiplayer and the save game storage. i almost never download the monthly games, and wouldn't care if i didn't have them, and almost never buy digital, so probably wouldn't miss the discounts either, and ps now is of zero interest to me no matter what content is on it.

Premium PS Plus

is cheaper (PSPlus + PSNow Subscription) package

I'd like the current PS+ to be the premium and a version without the Free games and sales discounts to be a cheaper option.

Until Sony says it, It's not true!
Even at Sony more things will be talked about that will not make it to the finial console than do. After that anything can be changed right up to they start production.

"it's great but we need to write an article anyway, so yeah..."

It's a good article about bad gossip.

@Dodoo
PS++

(I agree, the character limit is crap)

PS+ I think will become a tiered premium service

Tier 1 (bronze?) access to Ps3/vita games for legacy console owners (might include ps4)

Tier 2 (silver) as above Online gameplay and new monthly games

Tier 3 (gold) as above with access to alpha's - beta's etc

Tier 4 (platinum) above and PS now

Lower the cost of ps+ for legacy console owners will keep them 'subscribed' so they can still access there ps3 IGC games

Everyone is looking to netflix as the template for future gaming (a streaming service) - and am sure that sony has noticed that Netflix is not a single price-point

I could see Sony looking for the possibility to launch a service that allows private servers. The rest of the PS Plus Premium stuff I cant say anything about.

Sony could decide the launch (March or November) depending on when certain launch games will be ready. Is the possibility that weird?

TLOU2 as a launch title makes sense. Naughty Dog is probably preparing both versions simultaneously anyways.

Wonder if Cyberpunk 2077 will be the same.

Erm.. am i the only one who thinks that most AAA games these days offer this new "feature" already on release - now?

Pay up front, beta test post release (or even alpha test in some cases - mentioning no names...) then hope issues get fixes maybe some time in the future

@kenzomi pc, yeah.
Consoles, i hope not.

Console games are about ease of use.
Last couple of PlayStation's games that comes to my mind are came fully finished and polished games: horizon, god of war, spiderman..
We didn't even have to pay upfront. We just buy the finished products in all its glory.

And i sure hope that trend continues.
I don't need to be bothered beta testing every games that're coming out.
