As we close out the PlayStation 4 generation, it looks like PlayStation Plus is hitting new heights as it finally starts to offer up the sort of games its subscribers have always wanted. Proof of that can be found over on the official PlayStation Twitter account, which saw the service receive its most-liked tweet of all time -- beating out last month's reveal by a few thousand.
The announcement that Shadow of the Colossus and Sonic Forces will be heading to PlayStation Plus next month is sitting on 21,100 likes at the time of writing, alongside 4,600 retweets. ResetEra member ArmGunar has now crunched the numbers to work out that this is the most engagement a PS Plus announcement tweet has ever received, overtaking the reveal that Bioshock: The Collection and The Sims 4 would be heading to the service by nearly 3,000 likes. That gap is, of course, only going to grow wider.
Other interesting takeaways include the announcement that Steep and Portal Knights would be heading to the service garnered the least amount of likes over the past year, sitting at just 2,100. That is closely followed by The Surge and Conan Exiles on 2,700.
Of course, this isn't conclusive evidence that more people are happy than ever with the current PlayStation Plus line-up, but it certainly suggests that subscribers are satisfied with the thought of adding an absolute classic and Shadow of the Colossus to their library.

@M1359 I always like stories like yours. Games hold special memories for different people.
I guess as the service gains more subscribers, these kind of announcements are going to get more social media engagement. Makes sense.
I mean... was it a good month? Sure! Worthy of the most likes the service has every gotten? Eh.
Maybe its Russian bots?
@M1359 @Deadlyblack I still remember playing bloodborne each early morning with my daughter asleep on my chest. She is 5 now. Wow!
@M1359 can’t believe it’s that old tbh. I played it from 2-3am until dawn after late shifts at the pub I worked in*, shortly before leaving home. Happy memories!
*when I didn’t get lucky, that is
Remastered ps2 game and the sonic game that nobody wants to play. What a poo mind!
I’m loving these remake/remasters we’re getting as they are generally games I missed or I’d gladly play through again.
@get2sammyb Combine that with more people opening Twitter accounts also and it's pretty much a foregone conclusion...
Struggling to see how this is a great month. Played SOTC the first time it was free on ps plus and Sonic forces just very good... Dont get how it's good value when the 'good' game has been on before and the argument that it's great for new subscribers doesnt wash with someone who's been with plus from the start. Rant over 😘
@Saucymonk remade*
Likes on a tweet is somehow passing for news now?
@Shigurui The Playstation scene is so dead right now it is probably either this or nothing tbh.
@DonJorginho - Yeah, it might matter to someone I suppose. Who that someone is though I couldn't even hazard a guess.
@Shigurui - God knows who, but more power to them, I am expecting a story about the Dualshock 5 wireless charging patent soon, I love the guys at Push but they seem to get late to news about PS5 like this controller story that has been out for at least 7 hours, but will be the first to talk about likes on a Twitter post or a TikTok account.
Maybe I am just over-analysing this, still love all the team at PS.
I'd be happier if I hadn't bought SOTC a few weeks ago but that's not Sony's fault
