The PS5 game store has three different membership levels. I believe there are still many players who are not sure about their differences. The following is the specific content for you. Interested players must not miss it!
Specific differences:
This is reflected in the number of games that are free to play.
Basic version:
The basic version is roughly the same as the old PS+ plan. The main benefit is that you can get two or three free games every month;
Upgraded version:
The upgraded version, based on the basic version, can play an additional 400 PS4 and PS5 games;
Premium version:
The premium version, based on the benefits of the first two versions, can play a large number of classic games from PS1, PS2 and PS3.
Price content of each bracket:
The first tier is free of charge for ordinary memberships. There are 3-4 games every month. They must be collected before they are put into the library. After being collected, you can play them as long as you are a member. If you do not collect them, they will be gone if they expire. The second and third tiers are subscriptions. Games are put in and out of the library every month, which means you can play them during the library time. After they are out of the library, you can no longer play them regardless of whether you are a member or not.
The PS+ Essential version costs $10/month: almost the same as the original PS Plus.
PS+ Extra (Extra) is priced at US$13/month: PS Plus+PS Now service, players can experience the current PS Now game service, among which PlayStation 4 games are available for download, and PlayStation 3 games can currently only be played through streaming media.
PS+ Premium is priced at US$16/month: Based on the above two services, it also provides additional classic games and additional trials. Just like EA Play, you will get a complete game trial version that supports streaming. .
Upgrade related:
According to the current policies announced by Sony, all players who previously held PlayStation Plus services will automatically be converted to new PlayStation Plus basic members.
If you want to upgrade to the upgrade and premium membership plans, you need to pay the price difference to upgrade according to Sony's policy.
However, there is no optional time option for upgrading. If players have recharged membership services for several years before, they can only upgrade to the premium version by paying the full price difference.
This has also resulted in some players who have recharged their membership for many years to need to pay a one-time payment of thousands of yuan in price difference before they can upgrade.
And if the old member purchased it during the membership discount, the upgrade will also need to make up for this part of the discount money to complete.
