> Sony to Unveil PlayStation Subscription as Soon as Next Week
> By Jason Schreier and Takashi Mochizuki
> (Bloomberg) -- Sony Group Corp. is preparing to introduce a new video game subscription service for the PlayStation as early as next week, said people familiar with the plans.
> The service, which has been in development under the codename Spartacus, is Sony's answer to Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox Game Pass, a sort of Netflix for video games that has amassed more than 25 million subscribers. Sony's will debut with a splashy lineup of hit games from recent years, said the people, who requested anonymity because the plans are private.
> Sony's new service will combine two of its current offerings, PlayStation Now and PlayStation Plus. Customers will be able to choose from multiple tiers offering catalogs of modern games and classics from older PlayStation eras.
> Documents obtained by Bloomberg last year showed the most expensive tier will also give players access to extended demos and the ability to stream games over the internet. A spokesperson for Sony didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

three brand new subscriptions just hit today. good lord

I already pay for PS+. I paid for the PS5 and I paid for the extra storage. so that's essentially $800 just for the console alone. I'm not paying another subscription.

This is rumored to replace PS+. Or at least bring new tiers to it.

if it’s gonna solely be a streaming game service (PS now) lumped in with PS+ then pass…would be cool if the games are downloadable tho…guess I’ll find out next week

better be an option to convert existing PS+ to whatever this new shyt is.

I'll take a Plus/Now hybrid as long as the pricing makes sense.

Does this mean Sony will have a gaming event next week where they’ll announce this?
