PlayStation Spartacus, or Project Spartacus, the codename for PlayStation’s answer to Xbox Game Pass, will reportedly be released next week according to a new report from Bloomberg. Sony has been preparing for the arrival of this subscription service for a long time, but it seems that they are ready to unveil PlayStation Spartacus, or “PlayStation Infinite” (or whatever it’s going to be called), very soon.
As suspected from numerous earlier reports, PlayStation Spartacus will combine both PlayStation Now and PlayStation Plus. Available for PS4 and PS5, the subscription service will have three tiers, apparently called Essential ($10/month), Extra ($13/month), and Premium ($16/month), according to Jeff Grubb on his show on Giant Bomb.
Sony has finally revealed its Xbox Game Pass competitor, an "all-new PlayStation Plus" that brings together the existing PS Plus and PS Now into a three-tier subscription service that includes up to 700 games and access to retro games at the top tier. It will open for some markets in June and roll out worldwide regionally after that.
Sony's upcoming overhaul of the PlayStation Plus subscription service may sound a bit like Xbox Game Pass, but there's one important distinction: first-party exclusive games will not be added to PlayStation Plus on the day they release (at least not yet).
Talking to GamesIndustry.biz, PlayStation boss Jim Ryan said: "[In terms of] putting our own games into this service, or any of our services, upon their release... as you well know, this is not a road that we've gone down in the past. And it's not a road that we're going to go down with this new service. We feel if we were to do that with the games that we make at PlayStation Studios, that virtuous cycle will be broken. The level of investment that we need to make in our studios would not be possible, and we think the knock-on effect on the quality of the games that we make would not be something that gamers want."
