It will allow PlayStation fans to pay a monthly fee to access a library of new and old games. This is the same strategy that Xbox employs for its popular Game Pass subscription service.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the project materials, the planned service would be separated into three categories. The first contains all of the benefits of PlayStation Plus, which is required for online gaming and includes a monthly selection of free games. A higher tier, similar to Game Pass, gives you access to the whole game library, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/playstation-xbox-game-pass-competitor-spartacus-ps2-ps5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a third tier<\/a> gives you access to extended demonstrations, game streaming, and a larger selection of PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP games.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Xbox Game Pass Competitor Just LEAKED - PlayStation Game Pass, Back Compat Support, &amp; MORE!\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OtLYd8n1dNM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Launching a new service to add older games to the library is big news, given the demand for backward compatibility among PlayStation fans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The new service, which will unite Sony&#8217;s two subscription services PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now \u2014 a cloud service that allows users to stream games directly to their consoles \u2014 is set to arrive in spring 2022.
