PlayStation Plus Essential

PlayStation Plus Essential is basically the same as the current PlayStation Plus subscription that offers two monthly games, cloud storage for game save files, exclusive discounts, and online multiplayer access. The price of PlayStation Plus Essential in India will be the same as the existing PlayStation Plus subscription.

• 3 months – Rs 1,199
• 12 months – Rs 2,999

PlayStation Plus Extra

PlayStation Plus Extra will offer all the benefits of Essential along with up to 400 downloadable PS4 and PS5 games. Since this tier has additional benefits over Essential, PlayStation Plus Extra will be priced comparatively higher. The official Indian pricing for PlayStation Plus Extra isn’t announced yet, but the speculated pricing is out. Gaming industry insider Rishi Alwani has revealed the Indian pricing for PlayStation Plus Extra and PlayStation Plus Premium through retail sources, which aren’t confirmed by Sony yet.

The 340 games will include PS3 games via cloud streaming and PlayStation, PS2, PS4, and PSP games that will be available to download and stream. Cloud streaming will be available in regions where PS Now is currently available, which unfortunately doesn’t include India. However, Sony will also offer PlayStation Plus Deluxe for select markets that don’t have access to cloud gaming.
