![]() ![]() There’s an emphasis on PS3 games, with 29 available to stream, and relatively few titles from earlier eras. However, Sony’s initial lineup of old-school games feels thin, even though they’re a crucial feature of the Premium tier. Most of the games on Sony’s list are from the PS4 and PS5 generations, which is good news for Extra subscribers. ![]() That last game is included in the list as part of a deal to offer a few dozen Ubisoft+ Classics games to Extra and Premium subscribers. Sony confirmed just over 100 titles heading to PS Plus Extra and Premium, including Demon’s Souls, Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut, Horizon Zero Dawn, The Last of Us Remastered, Gravity Rush Remastered, The Last Guardian, Tokyo Jungle, Ico, Tekken 2, Asura’s Wrath, Ape Escape and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Streaming will work on PS4, PS5 and PC, while native cloud gaming on mobile devices isn’t possible on Sony’s network. Note that cloud play is only available in territories where PS Now is already live. This adds about 700 games from the PS Now library to Premium, complete with the ability to play a selection of PS3 titles from the cloud, and stream or download lower-tier games from original PlayStation, PS2, PSP and PS4 eras. This is also where streaming comes into play: Sony is folding its existing cloud service, PlayStation Now, into the new Plus ecosystem, but only at its most expensive level. The final option, PS Plus Premium, costs $18 a month or $120 a year, and adds up to 340 games from the original PlayStation, PS2, PSP, PS3 and PS4 eras. PS Plus Extra costs $15 a month or $100 a year, and provides everything in the Essential tier plus a library of up to 400 downloadable PS4 and PS5 games. PS Plus Essential costs $10 a month or $60 a year, and it’s basically the Plus we know now, offering two games to download each month, access to online multiplayer features, cloud storage and discounts. Sony’s subscription service is segmented into three parts, with different games and features available depending on how much you pay. Now that we know which games will be included in each tier - PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra and Premium - it’s easier to directly compare Sony’s service with that of its biggest competitor, Xbox Game Pass from Microsoft. The new PlayStation Plus has three tiers, each at a discrete price point and offering varying levels of goodies, and it’s all set to go live on June 13th in the Americas.

The browser extension is only available for Firefox. While not mentioned, it is likely that the ability to buy PSP games will cease to work when the Store is retired officially by Sony.įans have criticized Sony for its plans to remove older PlayStation version Store access, mainly because it would have the result that some games and add-ons would no longer be available, as they may have been released digitally only, and because it would prevent gamers from purchasing add-ons for already purchased games.
