It’s hard to believe that it was about 12 years ago when we first introduced the PlayStation Plus to the world, as one of the first games offered to Wipeout HD PlayStation Plus members. The PlayStation Plus product has evolved over the years with over 1,000 games offered to members worldwide. We’ve regularly improved our offerings to provide an attractive package to the 47 million members who are part of today’s service. And just eight years ago we launched the PlayStation Now as an open beta and since then we’ve seen it mature to a full service that has been enjoyed by over 3 million users in select markets.
As of today, we are taking our services one step further. I’m delighted to be joining our PlayStation community in Asia to welcome the new three-tier facility offer from PlayStation Plus. The rollout starts today in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand and will be followed by Japan next week. Markets in North and South America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand are set to open next month.
This is an exciting time for us as we begin to bring our awesome game catalog * to PlayStation gamers worldwide. Keeping high-caliber games in service is our priority, and we are delighted to launch some of the most popular titles, including Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, NBA 2K22, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Returns for Extra and Premium. We also have favorite classics like Ape Escape, Super Stardust Portable, Siphon filters, and Tekken 2 and more – these iconic games will look great when you play on PS5 and PS4. Our game catalog will be refreshed over time with more exciting titles, and I can’t wait for everyone to experience it.
It’s been an incredible journey to get to where we are today, and I’m really proud of the many teams across SIE who have worked tirelessly to transform our service offerings to add value and flexibility to our customers. Collectively, our teams put you, the gamer, at the front and center in our decision to create this compelling game subscription.
To the PlayStation community, thank you for joining us on this journey and celebrating this new era of network game subscription services. Cheers.
