Even though Sony has yet to announce any official details about the highly anticipated PS5, PlayStation fans are hoping that the next-gen console will arrive in 2019. While this might seem like a far stretch since Sony doesn’t even want to mention PS5, a brand-new leak is leading us to believe that PS5 might actually be announced sooner than expected. The new leak comes from a European developer who reported to “Segment Next” that Sony is working on a revamped premium PS Plus subscription service that will be exclusive to PS5.
PS Plus Premium for PS5
According to the European developer who is claiming to have worked for Sony, the Japanese based tech giant is planning to launch a special PS Plus Premium subscription service that will be exclusive to PS5. From what we can tell, the new subscription service is going to give PS5 players access to lots of features such has guaranteed early access to new games and even a private server for the player.
While the PS Plus Premium subscription service might sound great, we have to note that it doesn’t look like the “average” gamer is going to benefit that much from it. The only thing that could make it worth its money, assuming that it will also feature a premium price tag, would be to give subscribers access to even more monthly AAA free games.
2019 Release Date
PS5 is probably not going to make a surprise appearance during this year’s E3 gaming event. However, the all-new PS Plus Premium subscription service might do. Announcing the new service would be the best and simplest way for Sony to get fans hyped up about PS5 without showing off the console’s unique features and powerful hardware specs. Since we are talking about PS5, we need to note that the only feature that we know the next-gen console is going to feature is a Backwards Compatibility program for older games.
