Rumours about a “PSN Pass” have been circling the internet for the last few days and now Sony have made it official. It’s real, it launches in September and will work in much the same way as the EA game pass.

“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,” Sony said.

“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.”

This means that should you buy a pre-owned copy of Resistance 3 you will also need to pay for a code to play the game online.
