Sony Is Set To Unveil Microsoft Games Pass Competitor ‘Spartacus’ For PlayStation

With the immense popularity of Microsoft’s Game Pass service, some other company is bound to want to break off a piece of the pie. Around 25 million Game Pass subscribers are currently enjoying a rotating lineup of free games from various video game developers on PC and Xbox and Sony wants in on the action. In fact, Sony is planning to introduce a similar platform as early as next week according to Bloomberg’s sources.

The service, codenamed Spartacus, will combine the perks of PlayStation Now and PlayStation Plus and will launch with an initial lineup of popular games from recent years. Subscriptions will be offered in multiple tiers which will grant subscribers free and unlimited access to new and classic PlayStation games. The highest tier will include access to demos and will allow users to stream games as shown in documents leaked by the anonymous sources.

There’s not much information on Spartacus as of yet, but if the sources are correct we should be expecting an official announcement from Sony sooner rather than later.
