Last year, Sony Interactive Entertainment revealed the new PlayStation Plus service which blended PS Now’s cloud streaming and has multiple tiers for players to choose from. There’s PlayStation Essential, PlayStation Plus Extra, and PlayStation Plus Premium. Essential includes two monthly downloadable games, exclusive discounts, cloud storage for saved games, and online multiplayer access. Extra adds a catalog of up to 400 PS5 and PS4 games. Premium adds up to 340 additional games including PS3 games available via cloud streaming and a catalog of beloved classic games available in both streaming and download options from the original PlayStation, PS2, and PSP generations.  At the time, PS Plus Essential cost $9.99 monthly, $24.99 quarterly, $59.99 yearly; PS Plus Extra cost $14.99 monthly, $39.99 quarterly, $59.99 yearly; and PS Plus Premium cost $17.99 monthly, $39.99 quarterly, and $99.99 yearly. Today, SIE has announced new pricing changes for the 12-month subscription plans.
