It could even be part of the response to Xbox Game Pass mentioned late last year, when SIE President Jim Ryan asked if Sony had a plan to counter Game Pass by saying, "There is actually news to come, but just not today. If the pass works as suggested, it could be seen as a way for Sony to add value to its PS Plus service, especially in the context of Xbox Game Pass' success. The wording also suggests that this could be a region-specific trial of the new pass in Poland. Given the timing mentioned, it may be that the announcement went live ahead of its official announcement tomorrow. It's possible that Sony plans to use its own movie portfolio to add value to its PS Plus subscription benefits.

The subscription benefit is available to PS Plus users in Poland.” Spotted by VGC, the PlayStation Poland website added – and then quickly removed – a banner that showed off the apparent service, accompanied by text that, when translated, reads: "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. According to a new interview on Polish tech site Spiders Web (via VGC) with Sony Interactive. Sony has seemingly accidentally released information about an unannounced PlayStation Plus Video Pass, which could add movie and TV content to the existing PS Plus subscription service. PlayStation Plus Video Pass is official, but its only going live as a test in Poland for now. The Polish test will allow Sony to see which titles are most-watched, and how often the app's used by PS Plus subscribers. Maguire didn't give a set idea of when or if the service would be extended to other regions. Maguire says new titles will be added to that list every three months, and no change to PS Plus' price in Poland will be made. Speaking to Spider's Web, Sony's Nick Maguire explains that the pass comes in the form of a PS4/PS5 app, which initially allows PS Plus subscribers to watch 21 movies and TV, including Venom, Baby Driver, and all 6 seasons of Community (full list below).
