PS5 Sony Pulling Out PS Now Cards from UK Retailers

[cm2]

Read from Gematsu:

Leadership for United Kingdom retailer GAME sent out the following memo this week:

“Stores have until the close of day Wednesday 19, January to remove all [point of sale] and [electronic software delivery] cards from all customer-facing areas and update their digital bays in line with this week’s upcoming commercial update…”

Sony Interactive Entertainment is planning to introduce a new service that merges the existing PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now subscription plans, and potentially provides access to a library of classic PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and PSP games in addition to a catalog of PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 titles.

With the PlayStation manufacturer pulling PlayStation Now cards from store shelves in the United Kingdom, it is possible an announcement of the new service, said to be code-named “Spartacus,” is planned for the near future. According to the initial report, it is planned to launch this spring.

Didn't realize it was just for UK. But at this point why bother to get it anywhere?

Can't wait to find out more about this supposed merged service. They will have to make huge improvements to PS Now though. It doesn't come anywhere close to how good the Game Pass is at the moment.

I think Sony is gunning for Game Pass though.

Fingers crossed. Get some of their first-party games on to it at launch and it will be hugely popular.
