PlayStation Plus has 48 million subscribers, new record high

[Gizmo_Duck]

PS Plus is growing again. Had dipped earlier in the year, but its now the highest its ever been.

Now at 48.0 million up from 47.4 million year over year. Previous peak was 3 quarters prior at 47.6 million.

Sony will probably try to get to 50 million soon enough with their revamp coming this year.

Unsurprisingly, revenue from network services is at an all time high for SIE.

There's also 111 million monthly active users.



Good numbers for Spartacus once it launches

It’s what we do.

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Yeah, wouldn't surprise me if the speculation about Spartacus just being called PS+ with different tiers ends up coming to fruition

What are the margins on PS+? Isn't that almost $2.9 billion in revenue annually at $60 per?

Hardware = 24%
Digital games, add ons + Subscriptions = 66%
Other includes PC game revenue.

Psnow/psplus and whatever else is 3,670B

PS Plus will continue to exist, Spartacus will be another tier up (or two tiers).

It will all be rolled into one thing, so those 48m and 2m+ from ps now all get rolled into the one service. It’s all gonna be ps plus

If everyone paid $60 then PS+ brings in $2.8 billion in revenue. The question is how much does it cost Sony to generate that $2.8 billion? I didn't believe that PS+ was a major profit generator for them I figured they ran it at a bit under what it cost them. Also seems to suggest PS Now isn't much of a revenue generator at all in comparison. Probably just shy of a billion.

Looked at the statement on the investor relation page and it doesn't give a breakdown like that.

 

[Koba St]

Add PSNow subscribers and it’s at 50m, twice more than gamepass. Even though @winb83 will tell you Sony are behind Microsoft in gaming subscriptions

Plenty of business will gladly tell you how much revenue something generates but not tell you how much that revenue cost them to generate.

Other countries money is worth more than a dollar too, esp in the revenue driving countries.

PS Now was at 3.2 million a year ago.

3.67 billion from plus and now is more than I thought. A program that would give you both is something alotta people would cop too. Should have had this done years ago.
