A new PS5 PlayStation Plus Premium console bundle may have leaked

Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) could be gearing up to launch a new PlayStation 5 console bundle.

Twitter user @Zuby_Tech, who previously outed another PS5 bundle before its official release, published a pair of images on Monday claiming to show an upcoming PlayStation Plus bundle.

If genuine, the images below seemingly reveal that Sony’s planning to release a PS5 console bundled with 24 months of PlayStation Plus Premium.

Last month, SIE boss Jim Ryan said 30% of PlayStation Plus users subscribe to the service’s more expensive Premium and Extra tiers, which were introduced last summer.

As of March 2023, Premium subscribers totalled eight million (17% of total subs) and Extra subscribers numbered 6.1 million (13% of total subs), with the remaining 33.3 million (70% of total subs) signed up to the Essential tier.

Sony announced last week that it’s testing cloud streaming for PS5 games, a feature which will be offered to PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers when it launches.

It will include PS5 games from the PlayStation Plus Game Catalogue and Game Trials, plus supported digital PS5 titles that players own.

Sony recently confirmed June’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalogue and Classics titles.

Launching this week, the former include Far Cry 6, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, Tacoma and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, while the latter include Killzone: Liberation, Worms and Herc’s Adventures.
