PlayStation has launched PS Plus, the console’s new and improved three-tiered subscription service.

The new PS Plus service was finally made available in Europe, as well as Australia and New Zealand, on June 23.

PlayStation said in a statement: “We want to thank the PlayStation community for taking this journey with us over the past decade as PlayStation Plus has evolved throughout the years.

“This is the beginning of a new era for PlayStation Plus and we are excited about the possibilities ahead. Stay tuned for our monthly announcements on future games that will be offered to PlayStation Plus members.”

Find out everything you need to know about the revamped PS Plus below.

PlayStation Plus Essential

The Essential package will give gamers access to monthly games, online multiplayer, and exclusive discounts, as well as The PlayStation Plus collection, Share Play, Game Help, and Cloud Storage.

PlayStation Plus Essential price: A one month subscription costs £6.99, a three-month subscription costs £19.99, and a 12-month subscription costs £49.99.

PlayStation Plus Extra

The Extra package includes everything in the Essential package, plus access to the game catalogue, which features hundreds of games, with new titles added regularly.

PlayStation Plus Extra price: A one month subscription costs £10.99, a three-month subscription costs £31.99, and a 12-month subscription costs £83.99.

PlayStation Plus Premium

The Premium package includes everything in the Extra package plus exclusive benefits like game trials, cloud streaming, and the Classic Catalogue.

PlayStation Plus Premium price: A one month subscription costs £13.49, a three-month subscription costs £39.99, and a 12-month subscription costs £99.99.

PlayStation Now subscribers will be migrated to the new PlayStation Plus Premium Plan, and will keep all the benefits they had previously paid for.

Gamers who were subscribed to both PlayStation Now and PlayStation Plus will now have a single membership with a recurring payment date and price.

Essential members are expected to get at least one new game every month, while Extra and Premium members may have access to more.
