It'll debut in some markets in Asia before expanding to North America, Europe and other territories where PlayStation Plus is available. The new-look PS Plus will start rolling out in June. Around 75 percent of PS Now members are also PS Plus subscribers, but the other quarter will need to pay more if they only want to, for instance, stream some PlayStation games to their PC.

The vast majority of those (more than 48 million) are PS Plus members that Sony is hoping will upgrade to a higher tier.

Between PS Plus and PS Now, Sony has more than 50 million subscribers. This is a huge move for Sony as it tries to get players more invested in its platforms. "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." "We feel if we were to do that with the games that we make at PlayStation Studios, that virtuous cycle will be broken," Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan told in an interview. One thing you definitely won't get anytime soon, no matter which tier you subscribe to, is first-party PlayStation games on the day they're released. Notably, at least in the US, the annual price is $60 less than Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members pay for a year of access to that service. PlayStation Plus Premium costs $18 per month $50 per quarter and $120 per year in the US €17 per month, €50 per quarter and €120 per year in Europe £13.50 per month, £40 per quarter and £100 per year in the UK and ¥1,550 per month, ¥4,300 per quarter and ¥10,250 per year in Japan. Xbox Cloud Gaming is available on mobile devices in many regions. At least for the time being, you won't be able to stream PlayStation games natively on phones or tablets (though there's always the Remote Play option).

The cloud gaming option will work on PS4 and PS5 consoles as well as PC. Those who subscribe to that service, which is called PlayStation Plus Deluxe, will be able to download and play PS1, PS2 and PSP titles and have access to the game trials as well as the Essential and Extra perks. In the meantime, those in markets without cloud streaming will get access to a cheaper version of Premium. Sony plans to bring cloud streaming to more regions at a later date. Those are the US, Canada, Japan, UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden. Premium subscribers will be able to stream PS1, PS2 and PSP games, as well as PS4 titles on the Extra tier, but only in markets where PS Now is currently available. Here's where things get a little a more complex. Time-limited game trials will also be available on this tier. A bunch of PS1, PS2 and PSP games will be available to stream or download, meaning that Sony is using on-console emulation.

You'll get access to another 340 or so games, including PS3 titles you can stream via the cloud. You'll get access to everything in the Essential and Extra tiers, of course, and this is where the PS Now aspect really comes into play. At the top end is PlayStation Plus Premium.
