So, if you’re brand new to the world of PlayStation. Like Xbox cloud gaming, there’s a subscription model to play online. And with Playstation, there’s a tier system.
And the best things in life are indeed free…and the second best things are expensive…well the good news is Sony’s subscription… isn’t too expensive. And you’ll have to run the numbers to see if it’s worth it.
So in order to truly make the PS Portal genuinely usable as a standalone alone without a PS5, you’ll need to subscribe…and also subscribe to the PlayStation Plus… wait for it… plus subscription. Which will set you back around £13.50. So you could sign up for a year or sort pay as you go and switch the subscription off from time to time when you’re not going to use it.
You have to weigh the pros and cons here and the value you’ll get from signing up if you don’t already have PlayStation Premium Plus. In a year, it’ll cost you £119. But in return, you get unlimited playtime and can even finally join your Playstation friends online to play co-op games.
