News & Reviews:   Playstation Plus

PlayStation Plus Premium is currently priced at USD 160 per year (about RM720), but fans fear another round of price hikes may be on the way. The concern follows comments from PlayStation executives and recent subscription trends.

If you have a PlayStation 5 and looking to save up on game sales, you might want to consider the PlayStation Plus membership promo. That's right, it's back again with up to 42% savings if you subscribe to it for a year. 

Microsoft will acquire Activision Blizzard, and it has offered a 10-year deal to Nintendo for Call of Duty. On the other hand, it's not that peaceful with Sony due to the issues mentioned in previous reports. Microsoft has also offered a similar deal to the Japanese company, but now it's discovered that an additional term might persuade Sony to sign.

Earlier this year, Sony launched new tiered plans for its PlayStation Plus subscription service and it looks like they are not as popular as the Japanese company expected. In fact, according to Sony’s latest fiscal earnings report, PlayStation Plus subscribers number have dropped by almost 2 million!

Microsoft officially launched the Xbox PC Game Pass in Southeast Asia recently. Not only did Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines get it but also Malaysia, which is super great news. But is it worth subscribing to PC Game Pass? Short answer - Heck yes. Long answer - read on below!

Just right after Microsoft announced its PC Game Pass trial for Southeast Asian countries, Sony didn't wait long to introduce a revamped PlayStation (PS) Plus plan that's coming in June 2022. The information can be a lot to take in so here's a breakdown of what each plan offers for the Malaysian market. 

Game streaming on mobile devices is something many companies are expanding into. The Microsoft Xbox Game Pass (now PC Game Pass), Nvidia GeForce Now, and Google Stadia are a few that are more commonly known. Now, Sony seems to be joining the gang with PlayStation Now.

For those unaware, Sony acquired Crunchyroll for USD 1.175 billion (~RM4.98 billion) at the end of last year. The move was recently completed, so Sony could be thinking about how to make use of the platform. One way could involve PlayStation Plus.

Video streaming isn't a new concept these days, but we still see a new platform every year. In fact, Sony recently unveiled plans to try its hand on the video-on-demand business. Leaks indicate that the new service would be called PlayStation Plus Video Pass.

Hey gamers! The Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales have just passed and I’m actually feeling my wallet to be a little lighter (or in case, empty, as I wait for my next paycheck to drop in). Oh well, I’m sure our tears would dry (temporarily) when our ordered packages come in or the intro scene of our just purchased games play on our screens. Unless you purchased Fallout 76. Then there’s no joy for you for sure.  As for me, I’m just smiling (and tearing up a little) whenever I lay my eyes on the Nvidia RTX 2070 GPU I just purchased. #PCmasterrrace!
