It will apparently merge PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now into one service, with Sony apparently keeping the former’s branding while phasing out the latter. While individual PS5 exclusives are interesting, what’s more exciting is Sony’s reported plans to beat Microsoft at its own game by introducing a Game Pass-like service to PlayStation in the spring.Ĭodenamed Spartacus, the service will reportedly allow players to play a selection of classic and modern games for the cost of a monthly subscription fee. With the PS5 still flying off shelves, does Sony really have any reason to revive the hardware just yet? PS5 in 2022: A possible Game Pass rival? PS5 in 2022: Spartacus the Game Pass clone? It took between three (PS3 and PS4) and six (PS1) years for smaller versions of Sony’s consoles to appear in the past, and the first ‘Pro’ model console - the PS4 Pro - also took three years to show up. The rumor is that Sony may switch from 7nm chips to 6nm ones, which could give the theoretical PS5 revision a bit of a performance bump.īut take that with a pinch of salt as, historically, it would be unprecedented. Those hoping for such news may be interested in a report from May that suggested a revision to the hardware was coming in late 2022, possibly to deal with the ongoing chip shortages. Those who haven’t been able to get hold of a PS5 yet may wonder if they’re better holding out for a major hardware revision of some kind - a ‘Slim’ model, or even a souped up PS5 Pro edition.
