Finally, folks, PlayStation has revealed “Spartacus” and what it actually is. To me, it sounds like a pretty good deal, up to £13.49 a month from a choice of three tiers. You can see below what you get for your money, should you want to upgrade to the all-new PlayStation Plus or even stay at the standard PS+ that we all know and (mostly) love.
Game Pass better watch out!
