It looks like the new PS+ Tiers will have a gradual rollout around the end of May. PS Now will also expand from 19 countries to 30 countries.

It will be fascinating to see how many subscribers Sony can get with these new tiers. Could end up as a very profitable venture as well as building a solid foundation for a true GamePass competitor in the next decade if need be.

What would you guys like to see Sony add to the PS+ tiers over the generation?

I would like to see PS3 emulation, enhanced BC, the classic library being expanded over the years, PSVR/PS Vita titles being added, quicker turnaround for their first party games to hit the service, as well as select live service games from their first party hitting PS+ on Day One, which Sony are already doing to an extent.

Granted I already took advantage of that PS Now loophole and have Stacked Premium for the next few years.. I'd love if 1st party games came to Premium day one, or at least within the few couple of months of release. I don't play enough games on consoles to consider paying £84 for extra or £100 for a sub if they did that it'll be a LOT more enticing.

Enhanced BC would be good, as in rendering older titles in 4K (something Xbox has been doing for a good while). And maybe something like Crunchy Roll on Premium.

How much did you pay in total for PS Now?

How did it stack up with already paid PS+ months/years?

£50 a year (x3) for PS Now, which will get upgraded to PS Plus Premium - https://blog.playstation.com/2022/03/29/all-new-playstation-plus-launches-in-june-with-700-games-and-more-value-than-ever/. You could stack PS Now like with PS Plus.

They've long closed the loophole now through their website though.

Btw any mods able to change to thread title to something more default? We're heading into May and we still have an old title lol.

Haha cheers <3

I honestly think Capcom has no interest in getting acquired. At least not any time soon. They're doing so incredibly well quarter after quarter leaving the last decade of blunders mostly behind them with a lot of promise going forward. 

And with this whole "PC will be our main platform going forward" initiative Capcom is pursuing, they definitely seem to be more interested in remaining in their current position.

I think Sega, Konami, Square, and Bandai are more likely to sell and get acquired than Capcom.

Glad to see this feature rolling out this week! 

Ngl looking forward to booting up some classics come June. They might come gradually as the PS library is quite extensive.. I think they'll add the classics first and the rest later. Hoping they'll have a large selection of PS1 and PSP games for launch. I still have my PSP and PS3 though its a pain to set up and its nice to finally have it on one console to play on.

But yeah Returnal and some Syphon Filter is a good way to kick off Summer.

Nice.
