A logo for ‘PlayStation Plus Video Pass’ was published on Sony’s official website today, along with the following description on its Polish website (now removed):

“A new benefit available for a limited time on PlayStation Plus… PS Plus Video Pass is a trial service active 22.04.21 – 22.04.22. The subscription benefit is available to PS Plus users in Poland.”

It’s not clear if the listing is describing a global or local service, but we’ve requested clarification from Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Considering the PS5 doesn't even have movie / video content available in the store, this seems odd.

Does seem weird considering what you mentioned. But maybe it was removed to make room for this service. If you want video content on PS you'll only have access through this new service.

I've always wondered why Sony hasn't leveraged their vast video/music catalog on the PS platform. Over a generation ago if was considered but rejected in favor of keeping other media and gaming separate.

Maybe it’s for all the anime they now stream, with their recent purchase of funimation and they already bought Crunchyroll a while ago.... so maybe it’s for the weebs (ie me)

Me too.

I already have a subscription to Crunchyroll and keep hoping for an announcement that rolls both services into one. There's quite a few shows I'd like to watch only available on funimation.

Hell yea Wreckfest is awesome. Was curious on the next-gen features especially with the controller. Already bought it on PC and Xbox so nice I can get it for free now.
