Compete with Xbox Game Pass, Sony Announces Playstation Plus which will be Released in June!
Last Tuesday (29/3), Sony announced one of their latest breakthroughs. In order to compete with Xbox Game Pass, the Japanese company completely overhauled the Playstation Plus subscription system they already had.
Playstation Plus itself is a subscription service, which must be owned by Playstation console users to be able to play games online on line. Without this service, you can only play the games you own for free offline.
The first option is service Playstation Plus Essentials. It’s the same kind of option, as what’s currently being offered on Playstation Plus. This service provides access to play on lineoption to activate cloud saveexclusive discounts, as well as two games that you can download for free.
Then for the second option, named Playstation Plus Extra. This type of service provides the same benefits as before, but there are some additions. Among them are 400 game titles that you can play for free, whether they are made by Sony or from other game developers.
Lastly, they offer services Playstation Plus Premium. This service is Sony’s flagship type of service, which is expected to match the popularity of Xbox Game Pass.
Not only does it provide the advantages of the previous two services, Sony provides several other benefits that you can get. For example, there are 340 additional game titles from previous consoles owned by Sony such as PS1, PS2, and PSP. In addition, various kinds of game titles released for the Playstation 3, can also be played online cloud streaming.
Sony has also announced prices for each type of service. But the price announced by Sony is still in foreign currency, and has not used the price in Rupiah.
Meanwhile, Microsoft itself has just released the official price for their Xbox Game Pass service in Rupiah. Previously, we had to pay using a foreign currency to be able to enjoy this service.
Microsoft provides a very cheap price, which is Rp. 1500 for the first month. This price is specifically for people who have never subscribed to Xbox Game Pass before. For the following months, Microsoft set a price of Rp. 50 thousand per month.
It is worth waiting for what price will be priced by Sony for these three services when they are officially released in Indonesia.
