![]() ![]() PlayStation Now 12-Month Subscription $59.99 (US PSN Store) Thankfully, all is not lost! Deals savante Wario64 managed to scrounge up a 12-month PS Now link for the web store of the PSN Store that’s at $59.99! This means that you can buy a year’s membership of PS Now, and you’ll automatically transition to PS Plus Premium in June for “free.” Here’s a current screenshot of the PlayStation Store PS Now subscription page where you can see that the 12-month subscription offer has been pulled, and the only ones left are the seven-day free trial, and subscribing to it for $9.99 every month. Unfortunately, Sony pulled the 12-month PlayStation Now subscription package on the PlayStation Store. In case you didn’t know, all existing PlayStation Now customers will migrate to PlayStation Plus Premium with no increase to their current subscription fees. While PlayStation Plus Premium is priced at $119 a year, you can get it today at half off at just $59.99 by subscribing to PlayStation Now for 12 months! For PC players this all just looks muddled, and a worse deal than ever before.In case you didn’t know, Sony announced a new tier system for PlayStation Plus last week with PS Plus Premium, PS Plus Extra. For Sony there have been positive signs-finally porting God of War was a very welcome move-but those are hard to square with the new PlayStation Plus. Now the consoles are almost becoming optional hardware, particularly in the case of Xbox, and these industry giants are gradually working out what their future on PC will look like.įor Microsoft and Xbox Game Pass, it looks bright. It is a strange time to be a PC gamer, because the consoles always used to be 'over there' somehow, distinct in what they offered and with little PC crossover. That said, at least it was its own service-now it feels like PC streaming of PlayStation games is just being rolled into a wider category, and Sony's decided it wants to put the screws to PC gamers. PS Now always felt like a slightly odd fit on PC, and you could sense from the product's lack of polish that it wasn't seen as any sort of a priority. The PC side of the service has become even more of an afterthought than usual. But limiting the PC audience to Premium and effectively doubling the price of streaming PlayStation games on PC comes across like a statement. Part of that is making its console the most attractive place to play PlayStation games. ![]() It is understandable that PlayStation, a brand built upon its own bespoke hardware, wants to keep the biggest chunk of its business on that hardware. $120 a year, when I think of how else that could be spent on PC, is not attractive. But we're talking PC here, an ecosystem with endless dirt-cheap games and a variety of competitive subscription offerings, and one where the allure of old PS3, PS2 and PSP games is perhaps not quite so shining. I mean… if you're exclusively a PlayStation player, that is no doubt a decent deal. If you wanted to play devil's advocate for Sony, the only real argument is how much more the Premium sub offers than the current PS Now subscription: over 700 games, all the benefits of the lower tiers, and a game trial system for any games not included. But, at the same time it remains the only way to play Bloodborne on PC. PS Now always felt a bit more half-hearted on PC than it did on console (thanks largely to a terrible desktop app). It even recently created a Playstation PC label. Of course it has to take care of its bread-and-butter console audience, but in recent years has been more open to the opportunities for PlayStation games on PC. ![]()
