“Sony Reveals Divide Among PS Plus Subscribers with 14.1 Million Users Opting for Premium Plans”

Unlike Microsoft, Sony does not want to offer games in its subscription on the day of release. It is all the more interesting to finally learn how many players are paying for the more expensive PlayStation Plus plans. So far we only knew that PS Plus has 47.4 million users (data from last month). So how are they divided?

The Japanese company reveals that up to 30% of subscribers opted for more expensive tariffs. PS Plus Extra had 6.1 million players subscribed by March 2023, while the most expensive Premium had 8 million players. In terms of total numbers, it is 13% and 17%. Together 14.1 million subscribers.

By comparison, Microsoft reported last year that Game Pass has over 25 million people. This includes not only the basic Xbox Game Pass, but also PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

It’s an interesting finding. The PS Plus Premium offering with a selection of games from the PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP eras is often described as weak, and according to comments players prefer the cheaper PS Plus Extra. Maybe they are attracted to Premium by access to demo versions. How are you?

As for the price, PS Plus Premium costs CZK 445 per month, CZK 1,300 for three months and CZK 3,120 for a year. PS Plus Extra costs CZK 365 per month, CZK 1,040 for three months and CZK 2,600 per year. The basic Essential subscription costs CZK 235 per month, CZK 650 for three months and CZK 1,560 per year. The advantages of individual tariffs are shown below.

Last time, the catalog of PS Plus Extra and Premium was expanded by 23 games. Among other things, the action platform game Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart with Czech subtitles, the latest Tomb Raider trilogy with the intrepid Lara Croft, the interesting new Humanity, survival Conan Exiles, the hacker action Watch Dogs Legion, the more horror The Evil Within 2 or Dishonored: Death of the Outside and Dishonored 2.
