Basrawi News Encyclopedia – I wrote: Nermin Salem Sony plans early next week to announce a new subscription service in video games for the PlayStation platform, currently known as Spartacus, which is its response to Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass, according to Bloomberg Agency, which was published by the portal website Arab Technical News.
Previous reports suggest that Spartacus could be a combination of Sony’s two existing subscription services, PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now.
Bloomberg says that the company wants to launch the service that includes popular and recent games, but may not include the upcoming game God of War: Ragnarok. The service is expected to have three different levels, offering different games at different prices.
The first level is expected to be very similar to the current PlayStation Plus subscription. Later levels add PlayStation 4 and 5 games, as well as access to extended trials and the ability to stream games online.
Previous reports also said that the top tier could include a library of classic games from systems like PlayStation 2 and PSP, and Sony currently has two subscription services:
• PlayStation Plus: Gives access to multiplayer games, some discounts, and some free games per month.
• PlayStation Now: Allows you to play selected list of PS4, PS3 and PS2 games either via cloud or download (options available depend on the selected game).
Sony unveils PlayStation subscription next week It can be hard to compare these services with Xbox Game Pass, which has more than 25 million subscribers and lets you play Xbox and flagship PC games on launch day — most of which are published by Microsoft — side by side. With a list of third-party games.
Sony and Spartacus seem to be looking to give PlayStation users a service they can be excited about, but reports make it seem like it’s relying more on the massive old PlayStation slate, rather than today’s new successes.
It’s also not clear how much that might cost, and PlayStation Now and PlayStation Plus currently cost $60 per year each when purchasing an annual subscription, or $120 combined.
This is the same price as a standard Game Pass subscription, and slightly lower than Game Pass Ultimate.
As a result, Sony has plenty of wiggle room when it comes to pricing. There is also the issue of transfer, where you can buy a PlayStation Plus subscription for several months or even years.
It is not known how the company deals with users who do not sign up for a monthly subscription. And it appears that Spartacus may have an equivalent level.
But there may be price changes that should be taken into account. The PlayStation platform has outpaced the Xbox platform in recent years. But Sony lags behind Microsoft’s efforts in the streaming market.
