PlayStation Australia have announced that the enhanced PlayStation Plus offerings are now available in Australia, meaning gamers who want more from their PlayStation consoles, or fans of the history of PlayStation, can now enjoy games from across the years.

While the service is live in most countries around the world now, having rolled out over the past few weeks, not all the games are the same in each region. So just be aware that a game that is part of the American line-up may not be here just yet.

“The global launch of the all-new PlayStation Plus represents a massive evolution of our game subscription service offering, and we are pleased that fans worldwide can now enjoy hundreds of fantastic games available in the PlayStation Plus catalogue,” said Jim Ryan, President and CEO, Sony Interactive Entertainment. “The high calibre of content is what sets PlayStation Plus apart, and the service will continue to grow with new monthly game offerings that include some of our most celebrated titles on PlayStation platforms. We are truly grateful for the passionate support of our PlayStation community over the years.”

The new PlayStation Plus comes in three flavours, if you don’t want to upgrade from the plan you have had for years, then you don’t have to, but that plan will now be called PlayStation Plus Essential. Here is the breakdown of the three tiers, including their monthly, quarterly and yearly prices, as provided by PlayStation.
