Playstation Plus is available in three subscription levels at different prices and with different features.
You have the choice between PS Plus Essential, Extra and Premium.
Here you can find out what Playstation Plus Premium includes and whether the offer is worth it for you.
If you have a Playstation at home or are thinking about buying one, you’ve probably already heard that there are a number of advantages for you with PS Plus – these include, for example, new games every month. Below we take a closer look at what Playstation Plus Premium includes so you can decide if the subscription tier is worth it for your needs.
The advantages of Playstation Plus Premium
Only Playstation Plus Premium subscribers have access to the Classics catalogue. This contains hundreds of classic games from previous Playstation generations that can be played on your PS4 or PS5 console.
Also unique to Playstation Plus Premium is the Cloud Streaming feature, which allows you to stream a wide range of PS4 games from the games catalogue, as well as hundreds of PS3 and PS2 games and more from the classic catalogue, via PS5, PS4 and PC. You can save your progress on the PC in the cloud to continue playing later on a PS4 or PS5 console where you left off. In addition, the controller can be connected to your PC for the real Playstation experience.
You can also test a selection of the biggest games for a limited time. So you can decide whether you want to buy the full version after the trial period is over. All progress and trophies earned so far will then be carried over.
A common reason why gamers choose PS Plus is to take advantage of the online multiplayer mode for PS4 and PS5. If this is the only reason for you, then maybe Playstation Plus Essential or Extra is enough for you ā there are significant price differences here.
How much does Playstation Plus Premium cost?
If you want to subscribe to Playstation Plus Premium*, you can choose between different terms. For 16.99 euros per month you remain particularly flexible and have the option of canceling monthly. If you bind yourself for three months, you pay 49.99 euros. But you also have the option of taking out a subscription for twelve months at a price of 119.99 euros. Compared to the monthly cancellable tariff, you save 83.89 euros.
You remain particularly flexible with a credit card*, which gives you access to the subscription benefits without a contract period. This is always useful if you want to try out whether you like the offer. The credit card can also be given as a gift.
