Confirming speculation from yesterday after a PS3 bundle image showed its logo, Sony has announced that Resistance 3 will ship with something called PSN Pass. It’s essentially Sony’s version of the online pass we’ve seen other publishers use for their games in the past. It’ll be “game-specific” and included with first-party PS3 games that have “online capabilities.”
“We are always evaluating new programs for our online offering, and starting with Resistance 3 this September, we will be instituting a network pass program for PS3 games with online capabilities,” a spokesperson said in statement sent to IGN. “This program will be game-specific. Games that are a part of this program will include a single-use registration code that grants the account holder redeeming the code full online access for that title.
“This is an important initiative as it allows us to accelerate our commitment to enhancing premium online services across our first party game portfolio.”
