The new PS Plus is generating discontent among Asian players for several problems
The renovated PS4 and PS5 PlayStation Plus will premiere around June 22 in Europe, offering their players three different offers, allowing them to access more or less exclusive content. But in some Asian countries, the new formula is available since last Monday, so we already have the feedback of those players. A concrete group has shown discontent with a very clear situation.
The new PlayStation Plus
As of June 22, users can choose between three different PS Plus offers:
PlayStation Plus Essentials * (Two downloadable games every month, exclusive discounts, cloud storage to save games and access to the online multiplayer mode) PlayStation Plus Extra (Benefits of PS Plus Essentials, access to a catalog of around 400 of the best PS4 and PS5 games) PlayStation Plus Premium (Benefits of PS Plus Essentials and Extra, more than 340 additional games, including the PS2, PSP and PS3 classics, test versions for a limited time)
For players with a classic PS Plus subscription (therefore, equivalent to PlayStation Plus Essentials), it is possible Update , that is, change to a more expensive version, but offers access to more content. Subscribers who wish to update to a more expensive subscription must pay the difference. So far everything good.
The supply offer
The problematic, according to the testimony of a Reddit user located in Asia, are the subscription updates purchased in promotion. It is well known that, sometimes, PlayStation organizes promotional periods during which the Subscription of PS Plus is exhausted and, therefore, is much cheaper. In Reddit, @AndyPPBB reports that players who bought the PS Plus subscription on offer and wish to update to a higher subscription must pay an additional sum.
For example, if a user paid for a subscription that was worth € 100 al-25% (€ 75), he will have to pay € 25 more if he wants to update to a higher level subscription.
Indignant, many players shared their discontent in the networks, saying that it was inadmissible to make promotions and then collect the difference. However, Legally, PlayStation is not to blame . It is very possible that they ask for compensation, because it is an update and, therefore, another type of subscription.
Other problems...
The PlayStation players community in Asia has also reported some problems with this new subscription. According to them, if a player has a classic annual subscription, it will be impossible to update, not only for a period of only one month, but during the entire duration of the subscription.
In addition, the number of games in the catalog of extra and premium versions is disappointing. According to them, we would be far from the more than 400 games announced by Sony .
Of course, we will have to be patient , because the new PlayStation Plus will arrive in Europe within a month. Will PlayStation teams have worked on the "problems" reported by the community at this time? We will leave doubts on June 22!
