The availability of the latest installment of the premier professional basketball simulation on Sony’s subscription service provides access to the game for subscribers. This allows individuals with a PlayStation Plus membership to download and play the title without needing to purchase it separately. This access typically extends for the duration the game remains part of the PlayStation Plus offerings.
Inclusion within the PlayStation Plus catalog presents several advantages. It introduces the title to a wider audience who may not have otherwise considered purchasing it, potentially increasing the game’s player base. For subscribers, it offers a cost-effective way to experience the game, adding value to their existing subscription. This method of distribution also aligns with the growing trend of subscription-based access to entertainment content.
