While we learned 24 hours ago the arrival of Shadow Warrior 3 on PlayStation Now in day one on the day of its release (March 1, 2022), new leaks come to reinforce the famous Spartacus project from Sony Interactive Entertainment, the response to Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass. If it was Jason Schreier who threw his way into the pond last December, it is the turn of journalist Jeff Grubb (who officiates at GamesBeat) to bring water to the mill by revealing that the announcement of this new subscription service is about to be announced. Better, the prices that will be deployed by Sony Interactive Entertainment have even leaked, suggesting 3 formulas according to user needs. There is the standard subscription at $10 per month, which is called “Essential”, which corresponds to the PlayStation Plus formula that we already know and which gives access to free games each month and access online games. Then there is the “Extra” subscription offered at $13 per month and which would give access to the PlayStation Now catalog, which means games available for download. Finally, remains the “Premium” formula sold for $16 per month and which gives access to the entire PlayStation Now catalog, accessible for download but also for streaming. This Premium access will also allow you to take advantage of time-limited bonuses, but also old titles from previous consoles. It is not prohibited for the SVOD film system, also called PlayStation Plus Pass and tested in Poland for several months, to enrich the ultimate subscription.

Finally, know to conclude that Jeff Grubb has heard that a facelift for the user interface of the PlayStation Store is in progress in order to properly launch this Project Spartacus which will enter the final testing phase. Suffice to say that the announcement would therefore be imminent.
