If Sony Interactive Entertainment were to bring the PlayStation Now cloud gaming service to Malaysia and the other countries that do not have it, the PS Plus Deluxe plan will likely be replaced with the Premium plan, and we will see a small price increase as well. No word yet on whether that it’s in the plans for now but we will report more on this as soon as information becomes available so stay tuned.

Pokdepinion: This is certainly a healthy upgrade that will allow the service to compete against the Xbox Game Pass in a better way. Personally, I feel like it could do better, but it’s a good start at least. Hopefully, we’ll see more games being added so everyone can enjoy more games anytime they’re subscribed.
