The subscription service PlayStation Plus is experiencing its biggest change yet on June 23. There will then be 3 offers with PS Plus for PS4 and PS5 – Essential, Extra, and Premium. What you should know about it is shown on MeinMMO.
Original message: What happens with PS Plus? On June 23, the subscription service will change radically. Instead of a single offer, you can complete PS Plus in 3 different tiers – each higher tier costs a little more but also brings more services:
- PS Plus Essential
- Basic offer
- PS Plus Extra
- Game Pass with many games for PS4/PS5
- PS Plus Premium
- Additional streaming package
The most important information regarding the content of the packages and what you should consider with your current subscription, we compile for you in a brief overview. You can also take a look at our video on the topic:

With ‘Essential’, you get the usual PS Plus subscription, as you already know it. The other subscriptions provide you with more services than the basic version. Which subscription is suitable for you can be read here:
What happens to my old subscription? If your normal PS Plus subscription is for example still valid for 6 months, your service will be transformed to ‘PS Plus Essential’.
You will receive an email with information about the new subscription, but you don’t need to consider anything further and can continue to collect the games from June in your library.
Players with a subscription to the streaming service PS Now fall into the ‘PS Plus Premium’ category. Your service offering improves with the transition.
If you land in the new services in the Essential subscription but want to upgrade to a higher subscription, that is possible. However, you will then need to extend your entire remaining subscription period – if you still have 6 months of subscription, you must extend those 6 months to Extra or Premium.
Which games are included in the subscriptions? The list for the German market has not yet been published. In Asia and North America, however, the new services are already online – here you can find the list for the USA (via videogameschronicle.com).
As soon as the German games are known or the service goes online, you will find more information about it on MeinMMO.
