https://venturebeat.com/2022/02/24/playstation-plans-3-spartacus-tiers-for-as-much-as-16-per-month/

$10 a month for basic PS+

$13 a month for 2nd tier which adds basically PSNow streaming PS3 games

$16 a month adds PS1, PS2 and PSP with trophy support + 6 hour game trials on select new games

Don't know what the yearly versions of those plans will look like

Aiming for 300 games at launch and likely to be announced next month for an April release

So they are Essentially doubling the price of normal PS+. Curious if they'll be upping the timeliness of their monthly offers. Also need to see what the catalogue is and what the (most likely) timed trial is. I doubt it would be long enough to allow you to beat a shorter experience of a game.

Trophy support, but no platinum trophies I'm assuming. If there are platinums then that's me sold

Edit: Just read the article, said nothing about trophy support for classic games?

So PS+ is being replaced and made way more expensive?

I never realized that. Why would anyone pay monthly when the annual rate is half as much?

Because they only need it for one month so why pay six times as much?

while not confirmed, I listened to Grubbsnax and he thinks they'll straight up go the Game Pass route and only offer monthly to make sure you pay that full amount

I've been paying $30-35 a year for PS+ and I still feel like that's too expensive, they'll definitely lose me with any kind of price hike.

Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else.

They would be incredibly stupid not to add trophy support for PS1 games. Retroarch has had that for a couple years now through Retro achievements

Props to azuarc, the current Guru of the Decade.
