Sonycould be planning to improve itsPlayStation Plusservice by adding free movie rentals or something in a similar vein. According toVGC, a logo for a PlayStation Plus Video Pass was accidentally published on the official PlayStation website. It’s worth noting that the webpage has since been removed.

Three movies were included on the now removed webpage: Venom, Bloodshot and Zombieland: Double Tap. Per VGC, the description stated that “PS Plus Video Pass is a trial service active 22.04.21 – 22.04.22. The subscription benefit is available to PS Plus users in Poland.”

Every month, PlayStation Plus users get access tonew gamesthat they can keep forever as long as they remain subscribed to the service. It’s possible Sony is exploring expanding PS Plus by adding movies in a likewise fashion – in this case, all three movies were distributed theatrically by Sony.

It’s also worth noting that earlier this year, Sonyannouncedthat PlayStation users would not be able to buy new movies and TV shows on the PlayStation Store after August 31, 2021.

What about PlayStation Now?

PlayStation Plus offerings have been expanded over the last year, with newer and newer games offered, especially toPS5users, who have been able to grab brand-new titles like Destruction AllStars andOddworld Soulstorm.

PlayStation’s game streaming subscription service,PlayStation Now, remains in a strange place, with games likeMarvel’s Avengers offered for a limited time but players being cut off from the PS5 versions of titles, even where free upgrades are available.

As such, this latter service is frequently compared toMicrosoft’s competing serviceXbox Game Pass, which has major new third-party titles like Outriders or even Sony’s own MLB: The Show 21 being added to Xbox Game Pass.
