Sony Is preparing a competing service for the Xbox Game Pass for its PlayStation. This is no longer a secret. If VentureBeat’s GamesBeat is to be trusted, it could have three plans at $ 10, $ 13 and $ 16 a month. Bloomberg first announced in December the presence of an all-in-one game service subscription codenamed Spartacus. According to several documents, the Spartacus PlayStation Now and PlayStation Plus will be offered in conjunction with the PS4 and PS5. This brings up the new report Additional information.
New details about the Xbox Game Pass competitor according to Sony
Sony has baptized three offers of its Spartacus service as follows: Essential, Extra and Premium. The first is no more or less than the PlayStation Plus in its current form. It costs $ 10 per month and provides access to games each month to add to its library. In the meantime, the extra offer costs $ 13, and includes access to these monthly games and a list of hundreds of games to download. This table may be similar to PS Now’s table.

Finally, the premium plan comes with $ 16 per month, access to PS Now streaming features and a list of classic games as well as the first two benefits. Additionally, subscribers will have access to the “Game Tests” feature, which will download and play new PS games before they are released. If it’s similar to what EA offers, you can play the game for a few hours before its official release.
At this point, no one knows if Sony will add any specifications to its service. Jim Ryan, President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, said some time ago that it would not be possible to place titles that cost hundreds of millions of dollars to create as a subscription service. That being said, Microsoft bought Bethesda and Activision moved to buy Blizzard. Game technology adds captions from both developers to its Xbox Game Pass. So Sony should make its subscription as attractive as possible.
Spartacus will enter the testing phase in the coming weeks. GameSpeed also mentions that Sony will officially reveal all the details in March. To be continued!
