That includes three free games to download (per month), cloud storage for saves, and online multiplayer access. Sony’s PS Plus Essential tier is functionally the same as what PS Plus subscribers currently receive - for the same price. But for the sake of simplicity, we’ll be using converted prices in the comparison.

It works out slightly cheaper for us than paying a converted US price.

However…Ī quick note: Localised pricing isn’t available for Sony’s new subscriptions but they should (hopefully) fall in line with the current local pricing of PlayStation Plus, at least for the cheapest tier. But that… doesn’t mean too much for South African gamers, since Now isn’t available here. Current PS Now subscribers will be migrated over to PS Plus Premium while staying at their current price of $10, at least at launch. PS Now will be incorporated into PS Plus and ceases as a standalone service after June. From June 2022, PS Plus is expanding, offering three differently priced tiers. If you missed the announcement, Sony revealed changes coming to the currently offered PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now services. Sony’s newly-announced PlayStation Now subscription service is cool and all, but what does it mean for South African gamers? Is it worth getting over (or as well as) Xbox Game Pass? Allow us to help you get there.
