We’re only weeks away from the arrival of Sony’s revamped PlayStation Plus subscription in the U.S., and now we finally know some of the games inbound.
In a post on its PlayStation Blog, Sony revealed at least some of the games that will be included as part of PlayStation Plus once its new subscription tiers launch in June 2022, and the lists (yes, lists) are pretty extensive. As a recap, the Essentials plan is basically the same PS Plus service you may already be familiar with; it includes the same perks, including a rotating selection of free game downloads each month, PSN discounts, multiplayer access, and cloud saves. The Extra plan adds a catalog of up to 400 or so downloadable PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 games to everything in Essentials. The top-tier Premium (Deluxe in regions that don’t support cloud streaming) plan includes all of the perks from Essentials and Extra plus support for streaming PlayStation 3 games, streaming and downloadable PlayStation 2 and PSP games, timed full game trials, and PlayStation Now-style game streaming for an assortment of original PlayStation, PS2, PSP, and PS4 games. June’s PS Plus freebies bound for all of the upcoming tiers are still being left ambiguous for the time being, but the starting lineup of available PS4 and PS5 titles for Extra and Premium (or Deluxe) subscribers is still pretty substantial. PS Plus Extra and Premium (or Deluxe) members will have access to a lot of games from third-party companies as well as PlayStation-owned properties. Legendary Fromsoft adventures like „Bloodborne“ and the recent PS5 remake of „Demon’s Souls“ are at the top of the list, along with other favorites like Metroid-y roguelike „Returnal“, 2018’s „God of War“, fan favorite open-world comic adaptations „Marvel’s Spider-Man“ and the „Miles Morales“ spin-off, and even cult favorites like „Medieval“ — and that’s just the stuff Sony is attached to.
