While Paramount+ – which you can try out thanks to a seven day free trial – will also be getting blockbuster hit Top Gun Maverick added to its streaming library at a later date.

Top Gun: Maverick teased in trailer starring Tom Cruise

As always though, pricing doesn’t give the full picture of how good value for money a service is.

Paramount+ is launching with the new Scream film included in its library, which only was in cinemas months ago.

While Top Gun Maverick – which has been a huge box office hit at the cinemas – will be available to stream for Paramount+ members at no extra charge, which is a huge incentive to sign up.

An exact release date for Top Gun Maverick on Paramount+ hasn’t been confirmed yet, but it’s thought the new Tom Cruise vehicle could be available to stream around July time.

If you’re interested in signing up to Paramount+ there will be multiple ways to watch films and boxsets on the service.

You can of course head to the official Paramount+ website but you’ll also be able to access Paramount+ as a Prime Video channel or download the official iOS or Android app.

Paramount+ will also be available for Sky Q and Sky Glass and it will also be available via Google, Amazon Fire, Roku and Samsung platforms. More platforms will be announced in the coming months.

In total Paramount+ will be launching with more than 8,000 hours worth of content.
