When the tiered subscription service launches, PlayStation Now will no longer be offered as a standalone service, and existing customers will migrate to PlayStation Plus Premium with no increase to their current subscription fees at launch.

The service will launch with titles such as Death Stranding, God of War (2018), Marvel’s Spider-Man, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Mortal Kombat 11, and Returnal.

“We’re working closely with our imaginative developers from PlayStation Studios and third-party partners to include some of the best gaming experiences available with a library that will be regularly refreshed,” said Sony Interactive Entertainment president and CEO Jim Ryan.

In the June timeframe, the new service will launch first in several markets in Asia, followed by North America, Europe, and the rest of the world where PlayStation Plus is offered.

“We aim to have most PlayStation Network territories live with our new PlayStation Plus game subscription service by the end of the first half of 2022,” Ryan said. “We also plan to expand our cloud streaming benefit to additional markets, and will provide more details at a later date.”

Further information will be announced closer to launch.
