The PlayStation 5's PS Plus Collection, which grants subscribers access to a range of great titles at no extra cost, won't be disappearing when the service transitions to its new three-tier system in June. The added bonus will become part of PS Plus Essential, which is the base offering that all current PS Plus members will be automatically converted to in the summer. Sony confirmed its plans to keep the list of 20 PS4 titles to IGN.
This means the base PS Plus Essential tier includes the usual free PS5, PS4 games on a monthly basis, cloud storage for saves, access to online multiplayer, exclusive discounts, and now the PS Plus Collection. While Sony already spelt its inclusion out to us in its blog post earlier today, it's always nice to have official confirmation. "There are no changes for existing PlayStation Plus members in this tier," the company said.
Should you choose to upgrade your membership to PS Plus Extra, you'll then gain access to "a catalog of up to 400 of the most enjoyable PS4 and PS5 games". At the time of writing, God of War is the only game that overlaps between the PS Plus Collection and what's confirmed for the launch line-up of PS Plus Extra. You'll also be able to download the likes of Returnal, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Death Stranding.

This is a good move!
Sidenote: I hate the name “essential” for the base version. Essential sounds like it’s an embellished version. When I first read the headline I thought ‘man they’re removing it from the base model?’ Should’ve been called standard instead (yes this is a dumb complaint and yes I like about 90% of this I’m just nitpicking)
@Deoxyr1bose I get what you’re saying but I think of it like when they did the Platinum and Essentials line of games for digital and physical copies with special art for boxes.
It just sorta means like if you’re not on this level, its your loss cause look at what you can get, look at the incredible offering.
i'm kind of surprised , i thought these games were only going to stick around for a little while. but it doesn't seem like they are getting rid of them.
Good to know! Desperately trying to finesse a 12-Month USA PS Now Sub so I can just hop on the Premium train for less, but those things disappeared FAST. Might have to settle for Essential if I can’t find one…
They could get rid of every game in the collection and just leave Persona 5, and it would still be a top-tier games collection. 😍
That's a relief! I'm sure some people were worried about this.
So they're saying that the ew playstation plus will have returnal free to download?? If that's the case I might as well sell my physical copy of it lol
