If you currently enjoy PlayStation Plus with your Vita or PS3 and would like to see it on Sony’s next-gen console, don’t worry - the service promises to play a major role in the future of the PS4 as well.

Jim Ryan, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment., recently spoke with the PlayStation Blog concerning the PS4.  One of the topics discussed was PlayStation Plus and the role it would play, if any, with the upcoming console.  “We definitely see [PlayStation Plus] as a core part of the way forward,” said Ryan.  “We’re not yet in a position to disclose our plans for the future of PlayStation Plus but there will definitely be a prominent role to play for it in the PlayStation 4 landscape.”

At this time, a one-year subscription to PlayStation Plus costs $50.  In return, subscribers get access to the service’s Instant Game Collection, discounts, automatic updates, demos, and more on the Vita and PS3.  While Sony has not released any details on how PlayStation Plus will tie in with the PS4, they did say that they are considering offering the service in various subscription levels.

As for the PS3 and its future, Ryan said to expect much more from the console.  “I'd point to the software line-up on PS3 that we have coming up--God of War: Ascension next month, The Last of Us, which is looking great, and Beyond later in the year. And there's other stuff yet to be announced which is highly significant too," he said. "There's a lot coming on PS3 and it's going to be very important to us for some time yet.”
