We have the report from Jason Schreiers article that Spartacus should feature PS1, PS2 and PSP games in addition to the PS3 and PS4 games Sony currently has on their subscription services, with PS5 games to come at some point post-launch. We have a rumor from Era user NateDrake that they should be aiming for about 100 PS1 titles on the service by launch with more to come later.
As it stands right now, PS Now has 851 games on the service with 405 PS4 games, 425 PS3 games and 21 PS2 games (technically PS2 games ported to PS4). On top of that there's the PS Plus Collection which features 20 titles from the PS4 gen. This is the starting point I think everyone is expecting them to build off of with Spartacus, so the question is how big do you think they're aiming to go here? Do you think we'll see every Sony published title in history eventually find itself on the service? How about PS1/PS2/PSP games from publishers who already have loads of games on PS Now? I'm going to assume Sony has a blanket contract with each publisher for those games so are we likely to see them expand that contract to cover even more legacy games?
Do you think one of the tiers will have anime/tv shows/movie content added? What sort of scale are you anticipating for the amount of games at launch and beyond?
