Sony PlayStation Plus When Will The New PS Plus Be Released

(CTN News) – Earlier this year, Sony announced that it would combine PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now into a new PlayStation Plus service with three tiers. Sony has announced the launch date of the new PlayStation Plus service for several regions, although the service has not yet been launched.

Sony plans to launch the game for Asian markets on May 23, 2022, according to the official PlayStation blog. On top of that, the new PlayStation Plus will be available in Japan on June 1, 2022. Additionally, the American and European markets will launch on June 13 and 22, respectively. While these might not be the final launch dates since Sony has used the prefix ‘targeting’ with all of them.

Sony is hoping that the new PlayStation Plus will increase its user base and attract more paying customers. The service will offer them a number of benefits, including free monthly games, cloud storage, and a lot of older games. Pricing will also differ depending on the region. Below is a list of benefits and pricing.
