Ever since the reveal, release, and success of Xbox Game Pass, many within the gaming community have been wondering if PlayStation will be offering something similar. Today, Bloomberg reports that PlayStation is planning something similar and it is targeted to be released next Spring. According to the report, this new subscription offering blends PlayStation Now and PS Plus.

SCOOP: Sony is planning a new subscription service, code-named Spartacus, to take on Xbox Game Pass. It’s being pitched as a three-tier service that will merge PlayStation Now with PlayStation Plus. Highest tier could include PS1/PS2/PSP games https://t.co/rz5tC3ExcR

Code-named Spartacus, the subscription will allow PlayStation owners access to a catalog of modern and classic games for a monthly fee. According to sources, it will be available on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. When it launches, Spartacus will merge PS Plus and PlayStation Now. PlayStation Plus is Sony’s equivalent to Xbox Live. It provides access and is required for most online multiplayer games and offers free monthly titles. PlayStation Now is Sony’s streaming service and allows players to stream or download older games. Right now, it’s Sony’s closest thing to Xbox Game Pass, offering a selection of games to stream or download for a monthly fee. Bloomberg believes that Sony will retain the PlayStation Plus branding but phase out PlayStation Now.

This new service, expected in the spring, will likely retain the “PlayStation Plus” branding. Don’t expect Sony to include its big new games day one like Game Pass does, but the expectation is a stronger offering than PlayStation Now

Documentation reveals that the service will have three tiers. The first tier includes existing PlayStation Plus benefits. The second tier offers a large catalog of PlayStation 4 and, in the future, PlayStation 5 games. The third tier would add extended demos, game streaming, and a library of classic PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and PSP games.
