In a few months, the new PS Plus model will start, which will include trial versions of new games. Now there is a new report about which games this will involve.
What is happening with PS Plus? In the coming months the “new PS Plus” will be introduced – in Europe, the launch is planned for June 22. From then on, there will be three different models – “Essential”, “Extra”, and “Premium”.
The “Premium” package has also promoted “Game Trials for some AAA games”. Now there seems to be new information regarding this.
PS Plus Premium is supposed to require trial versions
According to a report by Game Developer, developers working on games that cost more than 33 euros must provide at least two-hour trial versions for “PS Plus Premium”. This would likely cover the majority of new AAA games.
According to the report, developers have up to three months after the game’s release on the PS Store to make such a trial version available. This should then be available to PS Plus Premium players for 12 months.
Are there exceptions? According to the report, this is only valid for new games, not for those that are already available. Additionally, this does not apply to VR games.
Furthermore, developers should also have the option to create demo versions that do not simply represent a time-limited trial version of the game that ends after two hours. This should be decided on a case-by-case basis.
Moreover, developers can still create demos or trials for all PlayStation users if they wish. Only in connection with PlayStation Plus Premium is it required.
What is PlayStation Plus Premium actually?
PlayStation Plus Premium is the most expensive of the three new PS Plus models. It costs €16.99 monthly, €49.99 quarterly, or €119.99 annually.
It offers among other things:
- All content from the “Essential” and “Premium” models, such as the monthly games. By the way, there is already a leak regarding the new PS Plus games.
