Sony has given us the most detailed dates yet for the new PlayStation Plus release.
Sony has announced target launch dates for its all-new three-tier PlayStation Plus service, giving us our best idea yet of when we’ll be able to start using the service. In an update to the original announcement post on the official PlayStation Blog, Sony Interactive Entertainment President and CEO, Jim Ryan, says that they’re “making fantastic progress with our launch efforts” and that they’ll be rolling the service out “a little earlier in select markets in Asia, followed by Japan”. The post then goes on to list the updated target release dates across four regions. These show the rollout taking place over several weeks, with Asia markets excluding Japan scheduled first for late May and Europe scheduled last in late June. The schedule is as follows: Ryan also reveals that PlayStation will be expanding its cloud streaming access to Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Malta, Poland, Republic of Cyprus, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia. This will mean the cloud streaming is available in a total of 30 markets and Ryan confirms that these newly added markets will also have access to the Premium tier of PlayStation Plus at launch.
