Sony is confident in its current PlayStation Plus strategy, and has no plans to change it right now.
Speaking with Eurogamer sister site GamesIndustry.biz, PlayStation’s head of subscriptions Nick Maguire said putting games on to the service “a bit later in the life cycle” is working for Sony. Therefore, this will “continue to be [its] strategy moving forward.”
“We’re happy with our strategy,” Maguire told the publication. “Putting games in a bit later in the life cycle has meant that we can reach more customers 12, 18, 24 months after they have released.”
Maguire commented the company has seen its customers get excited about these games’ arrival on the subscription service, even though they are not day one releases.
“For us, that’s working,” the Sony exec explained. “Occasionally, there will be an opportunity to invest in a day-and-date like Stray and we will jump on those when they come in. But for us, letting those [first-party] games go out to the platform outside the service first… that’s working and that will continue to be our strategy moving forward.”
