The company divided access into three distinct categories to cater to different player profiles. The change is now in effect in all territories compatible with the service.

The new model completely replaces previous marketing options. Usuários with active contracts will undergo automatic migration to the updated structure. The adaptation reflects the current demand for flexibility in interactive media consumption.
Basic Plano guarantees online access and rotating catalog
The new architecture’s entry package is named Essential. The plan works as the main gateway to the company’s ecosystem and costs R$43.90 per month on Brasil. Subscription frees up connection to servers for multiplayer matches. Esta network release represents a mandatory technical requirement for the functioning of most modern competitive titles.
Subscribers in this basic category receive access to a rotating library. The catalog has more than 50 works selected by the platform’s curators. The selection mixes independent productions with commercial successes already established in the industry. The offer seeks to maintain user interest with periodic content changes.
A difference at this level is the release of cloud technology for the games included in this smaller list. The feature allows you to run software on cell phones, tablets and smart televisions without dedicated equipment. The plan also doubles the score obtained in the digital store’s rewards program. The mechanics encourage daily engagement and facilitate the acquisition of future expansions.
Categoria intermediary unifies platforms and expands collection

Consumers choose between downloading files locally or accessing content via the internet. The company guarantees the permanence of classic franchises developed by its internal studios permanently.

Projetos from large allied conglomerates also joins the list of simultaneous debuts. The tactic reduces the acquisition cost for the most engaged audience.

Fim from testing phase consolidates remote transmission technology
The business restructuring comes alongside the cloud gaming system’s official exit from its long period of public testing. The company’s global server infrastructure has undergone severe hardware upgrades. Engineers have been optimizing network routes over the past few months. The goal is to deliver high-resolution video transmissions with almost imperceptible command delay.

The advancement of this technology supports the brand’s expansion plan in emerging markets. Nestas regions, the high price of consoles keeps casual consumers away. Eliminating the hardware barrier makes it easier for new customers to enter.
The streaming tool gained unprecedented capacity at the top level. The system now authorizes the remote execution of games purchased individually by the user. The function operates even if the title is not part of the subscription’s rotating catalog. The change turns any screen with a broadband connection into an advanced processing terminal.
