The majority of classic games that are available as part of the PlayStation Plus Premium and Deluxe subscriptions in select regions will be getting NTSC options in the near future, Sony confirmed today.
With a new message shared on Twitter, the European division of the Japanese company confirmed that these NTSC options are being rolled out in Asia, Europe, Middle East, India, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Given how PAL versions run at 50 Hz, and the NTSC ones at 60 Hz, the game that will get the option will run at a higher framerate.
We’re planning to roll out NTSC options for a majority of classic games offered on the PlayStation Plus Premium and Deluxe plan in Asia, Europe, Middle East, India, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand regions. More PlayStation Plus info: https://t.co/KkPZyUdUd7
