The three tiers of the Xbox Game Pass will cost $10, $13 and $16 a month, according to GamesBeat. The all-in-one game subscription service was first reported in December. The perks offered by PS Now and PS Plus would likely be merged with the perks offered by the PS4 and the PS5. The new report gives us more information about the service.
The first tier of Sony's new tiers is called PS Plus and is currently in its current form. It will cost $10, but it will give you access to games every month that you can add to your library. The Extra tier will cost $13 and include access to the monthly games, as well as a game catalogue with hundreds of older games that you can download. That catalog could be the same as PS Now.
The Premium tier will cost you $16 a month and will include perks such as access to PS Now and a library of classic games. It will give you access to a feature called game trials that will allow you to download and play new PS games before their release. You can only play a title before its official launch for a set number of hours.
It is not clear if Sony will add new first-party exclusives to the service when it becomes available. Jim Ryan, the president and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, previously said that it wasn't sustainable to put new releases that cost hundreds of millions to develop in a subscription service. Microsoft has recently begun the process of acquiring the company, as well as buying the company that was previously known as Bethesda. Sony will have to think of ways to make Spartacus more appealing after the tech giant added both titles to the Game Pass.
The testing phase for Spartacus is about to start. The details of the subscription service could be revealed by Microsoft in March.
