20 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Coming Next Week

Premium being sh*t on again it seems. Why are the Kingdom Heart remaster games in Extra?!

No... I just bought one game yesterday: What remains of Edith Finch. So far I almost don't buy any games because I am afraid of that happening.. And then this...

So PS Plus Deluxe subscribers get nothing this month? Thanks, Sony!

So countries with no PS3 streaming available get absolutely nothing for the "premium" tier this month?

@Bentleyma Premium continues to have poor value. Never gonna upgrade from Extra at this point.

Extra is great, that’s what i went with. Premium is pretty *****!! So many classic games yet they give us hardly any at all!! Think there’s one game i’d be interested in on premium at the mo!! I went with extra thinkin i’ll upgrade when they add more games to premium. Lookin like that’s gonna be a few years. Maybe when PS6 is in stores!!

Would have been excited for KH if I didn't own all the games already xD
And same for Ratchet & Clank if they weren't streaming. I'll just stick to playing them on PS3.
Surely Sony could have at least thrown in the PSP or PS2 R&C Size Matters on top to have one proper download game for "Premium" tier

When are they going to give us Mario Kart 8 Deluxe? It’s sold about 50 million copies over the years. It’s time Sony stopped screwing us over and put it in the premium tier.

Extra seems neat but I find it really funny when the UK regulation board said that no Microsoft games were on other streaming services when PS+ has Deathloop and now Skyrim.

Extra's a good month but Premium and Deluxe are still a joke given the focus is again on PS3 streaming rather than PS1/PS2/PSP stuff that you can play natively on your PS4/PS5.

Premium continues to impress I see.🤣

Premium destroys Extra this time. Can't wait to play through all the Ratchet and Clank games again!

None these for me, pretty much played all R&C games. It's a good job Ragnarok is today and Callisto next month along with my never ending spoiled for choice massive backlog and of course Extra is very satisfying as a whole

Extra is pretty awful aswell if I was honest. Seems to be getting worse each month after a nice start with Stray. Don't think I will renew next month as the value is not there for me personally

Premium is a joke at this point — I feel like an idiot for thinking Sony was stockpiling a bunch of PS1, PS2, and PSP games for Premium. It's becoming abundantly clear that they've got next to nothing lined up.

Extra, meanwhile, continues to impress. Makes Premium look even worse! And as comments above have pointed out, Sony doesn't even seem to know if remasters belong on Extra or Premium. It's starting to make less and less sense.

Meh..not too excited even for Extra..

Oh well.

Tha majority of the Extra games I already have this time, like the awesome Kingdom Hearts series. But it's another very strong offering, and it's good to see that Square isn't shy to give games now. they refrained a lot in the old Ps Plus.

If anyone hasn't played What Remains of Edith Finch, now is the perfect time.

Those Extra tier additions are pretty damn good. Playstation have been consistent with the excellent Extra offerings, but man, premium needs to go.

The Premium tier is straight trash. Sony should just drop it already if it's not going to take it seriously.

The Garden Between looks like a nice little game. Might look at Onee Chanbara Origin too.

Have the VR version of Skyrim which is infinitely better simply because it’s in VR, so will skip that.

Tried, but couldn’t get in to KH games or Oddworld.

Nor do I really like shooters outside of VR any more.

Don’t have premium as streaming sucks.

So, one interesting game and one maybe. Not too bad to be honest. Worth the money I paid anyway.

Not blown away by Premium thus far, it has to be said. Come on Sony, give me Vib Ribbon with full Spotify integration. You know it makes sense.

***SIGH*** …….. Still no RESISTANCE: Fall Of Man or RESISTANCE: Retribution (w/ trophies). Maybe one day.

@ShogunRok. Thats why i dont subscribed to it.its horrible.no ps1 and ps2 games.and ps3 games is streaming.come on sony.about adding parasites eve.maximo.scarface the world is yours.legend of dragoon.black.grand theft auto liberty city stories.grand theft auto vice city stories.etc.word up son

I don’t like it when they go all out on a particular franchise. One month it was Assassin’s Creed, another Dragon Quest, and now Kingdom hearts. If you’re not interested in that particular franchise it means a big chunk of that month’s games hold no interest for you.

Some good games but worthless for me again this month

@Nightcrawler71 I agree their needs to be more variety and less of a theme, but I have a suspicion that Sony is getting these in a bundle for cheaper. Thats why they do this.

As for Premium the only hope I have is they are holding off the PS1, PSP, and PS2 games because they are integrating trophies and that takes a few months per game. But honestly that's probably not the reason and they just don't care.

I literally just bought all of those KH games...sad days.

Oh well, atleast I have the beautiful physical cases

Sony been adding so many square enix games lately. Hmm

Pretty pants lineup. Not interested in paying a sub to access games that have been available for years. Once I finish Ghost of Tsushima (which is excellent) I'm gonna let my sub run out.

Sony must sign these contractors years in advance to be able to get Skyrim.

It seems like Sony want to drop Premium to give gamers a reason not to subscribe to it at this rate.

Every month people keep thinking that Sony is going to add PS1/PS2 games and I feel like we all knew that they were only going to add them sparingly because I feel like they could care less about those games and are more so focused on PS4/PS5 and even PS3 since that's what people mainly want.

I could see them adding certain classics if they were getting remakes in the near future though but for some of these classic games/series that's a longshot.

I have the highest tier just to see how the streaming is(It's not that good lol) and I have never once thought about playing the classics except Rogue Galaxy(Already owned it). Might just be me but people might need to realize that the classics are going to pop up every once in a while for the people that want to play really really old games on current gen. It's not a major priority for Sony to focus on those games.

God, what a bunch of shovelware for premium 5 R&C games disgusting, sony doing everything they can to lose premium members, certainly going the right way about it

im liking this months lineup, but agree with premium being mismanaged. they need to get ridge racer and dino crisis on it, people want emulated ps1 classes, not ps3 streaming stuff, which doesn't play well!

@SoulChimera I know, right! And we should be getting Breath of the Wild at this point too! Come on, Sony! 😉

@Mysterio I know it won’t lessen the sting of spending the money, but WRoEF really is great and perhaps knowing you helped support a small well-made title will ease things some. One of my favorite PS4 games, to be honest.

At first sight looks like the weakest month in a while for extra, but there is What Remains of Edith Finch, which I have been willing to play for a while. Considering that this is a GOW Ragnarok and Scarlet/Violet month, having a nice short game like that is more than enough for me this time

Premium is just plain awful at this point, you would have liked to imagine that Sony would have had plenty of PS1/2 games lined up but that is seemingly not the case and they have no idea what games should be in each tier. At this point just scrap premium as they clearly don't have a clue

@Mysterio annoyances aside (I do feel your pain as that really bugs me) it’s a cracking little game. Well more of a cracking little walking simulator but great nonetheless. I recently got a month of GamePass to play it again after hearing great podcast on it. Enjoy.

Ooo swapping Greedfall (a game I would have played) for Skyrim (a game I would have bought) I can take that, as I'm one of the few RPG/open world lovers who is yet to play Skyrim, and I couldn't work out whether to buy the anniversary edition or just the PS5 updated special edition, so this solves that for me.

And as usual Extra good, premium bad. Day one, it was obvious. Which is why my console will still say "update to premium for £10 more" if I want any trials or streaming, I would, but as of yet I think it was just a tier to lure people to wanting the best sounding version when Extra had all the real value. Sure you get the upgrade fees worth if you are already extra converting to premium, but if you bought premium for a year as its own service, or for classics, you were shafted quite badly.

A quick Skyrim question should I play this on PS5, PS4 pro, or just buy it and play it on a good PC/laptop? Is it a good console game, and which console is it best on? Are the PS5 optimisations worth it etc?

Right, downgrade to Extra happening right now.

I'm going to save money and cancel premium for at least a month.

@ZeD I don’t see what’s wrong with Extra getting Kingdom Hearts. Anything added to any tier is a good thing, Premium should just be getting more. Instead of thinking “Premium should have gotten Kingdom Hearts, not extra!” we should be thinking “I’m glad the Extra and Premium tiers are getting Kingdom Hearts, but Premium should also have some classics added on top of that.”

Going through the list saying to myself "Got it, don't care, got it, got it, this one was already free for PS5 for essential users..." it is funny when I can stay on the lowest tier and still have more to play than extra and premium combined

A bit surprised they added Skyrim Special Edition. Given it now lives under Xbox Games Studios, and many think Xbox sees PSNExtra as a competitor, it’s surprising and refreshing that they are actually willing to allow games be added to the Sony subscription service.

Just like all the other services.
I don’t want to play old games, I played the ones I wanted to back in the day.
Thankfully we have a good few top end AAA new games to buy and play.

PS1 & PS2 games on Premium has just become a sad joke at this point.

@Shstrick I don’t see the issue. I think it’s cool but Sony promoted Premium to have a collection of classic games including any remasters. And with how terrible Premium currently is, they could have added them. They did the same with Vice City.

@ZeD ah maybe I misunderstood what you were saying. I definitely agree they need to add some serious value to Premium in terms of downloadable games.

I’m okay with the streaming PS3 games personally since I never had a PS3, but I’d much prefer them to be downloadable.

So many PS1, 2, and PSP games they could be adding. I have to imagine they’re just sitting on them waiting for a rainy day. In my opinion the rainy day is coming. They need to get some value added before the 1 Year anniversary of the PS+ revamp or people will be canceling en masse.

I'll jump into Skyrim again and give The Division 2 another run. Those Kingdom Hearts games can get in the bin, though.

What Remains of Edith Finch will always be a great addition, even though it's been on plus before.
Division 2 and Chorus are great games as well. Good month

@jrt87
Game pass could be better if they actually release some top end AAA 😂
I get your point, it is what the top tier Sony service should do, day one releases.

@jrt87
Maybe when Xbox start releasing games gamepass will be better.
We always hear that ps+ is worse cause Sony isnt dropping day one games but right now neither is Xbox and that is the truth.

Premium is ridiculous

Very cool, I wanted to check out Kingdom Hearts at some point.
The Ratchet games in premium are great for me personally but I can see how it could be disappointing, especially to those who had access to PS Now in their regions (aka not me).

@Neverwild that's not the truth at all. They release day 1 games all the time on gamepass, just not many by Microsoft this year. But next month they have got High on Life and Gungrave gore on my wishlist and they are both day 1 releases

@Sakai
But those arent Xbox games.
Xbox day one is what xbox fans and Microsoft has been bragging for years but still not much to come.

Going to try to get through greed fall. Managed to finish all the Mafia games I wanted to play.

@Neverwild people enjoy the day one games on gamepass, irrelevant of who makes them. Sure the xbox studio games are nice, but so are all the countless other day 1 games they get like the show. Its why people who use both services say they do not really compare at all and gamepass is generally regarded as far superior

@SoulChimera What a jerk comment.

This is enough. I’m dropping down to Extra as soon as I get home.

Like every other premium member I have given them their chance. And Sony screwed it up.

I can’t stream games. PS3 does nothing for me because of that. I was hoping to get a semi-decent library of PS1 and PS2 games. Stuff like Legend of Dragoon, Megaman Legends 2, and maybe Timesplitters 2.

But nope. They decided to half ass it. So I’m downgrading.

@Ravix

PC version is by far the best version of Skyrim to play.

@Sakai
Yet ps+ sucks cause no day one Sony game but gamepass is good without Xbox day one.
But only Xbox has bragging about day one games.

@Neverwild ps plus gets no Sony day one or third party day 1. Whereas gamepass gets day 1 third party releases and day 1 first party releases

@Sakai
Sony has got a few day one third party games since ps5.
Only one company has bragged about day one but still cant release any.
Doesnt matter how much you try to protect them since it is the truth.

@Neverwild I honestly have no idea what you are even talking about now

@Nightcrawler71 I prefer it that way because usually I like just one game from the franchise, so if it's left out, it sucks. Plus, it's not like we don't have have backlogs anyway. We're not limited to playing only the new month's additions.

These prices are in USD
Playstation+ Essential – 59.99/year
Playstation+ Extra – 99.99/year – this is 40 bucks more than Essential
Playstation+ Premium – 119.99/Year – This is 20 bucks more than Extra

So here is the real deal when it comes to the Premium sub:

People are literally paying 20 bucks more to get over 300 additional games plus cloud streaming for PS2,3 and select PS4 games. Also Premium is the only tier that gets Demos now. You can even stream with a PC for some games.

Stop thinking of this as the ultimate “way back machine” where all your beloved franchise favorites come together for your personal digital collection. Premium is not failing it literally only cost 20 bucks per year and as far as can be seen people are getting way more than 20 bucks worth of content per year with this tier.

Another solid month for Extra. I never did end up buying Chorus but have wanted to play it, so I'll definitely check it out for free after I'm done with the onslaught of games from now through the next several months. I never did buy Skyrim for PlayStation (I played the Special Edition on my Xbox One X), so that's another I may play if I have the time. All of the Kingdom Hearts games is nice, but I have my doubts I'll ever have the time.

I upgraded to Extra a couple weeks ago because there were like 8 games from my wishlist on it and so far I've been very happy. There are lots of little games I want to try but would likely never get around to buying, and this month is no different with The Gardens Between. Might check out Chorus too.

Despite the customary rage at the top tier getting very little, there are some good games here!

I wanted to try the latest Kingdom Hearts and What Remains… but i would almost certainly never buy either. Ultimately, a few games id like to try - I think that’s pretty good going.

@Sakai

I think what he is trying to say is that XBOX says that all first-party games come day and date to their paid service but XBOX has not had any first-party games come to the service all year.

Playstation does not have first-party games come to their service as a rule.

This makes them equal to each other when it comes to first-party games coming to the service.

XBOX can brag all they want bottom line is that their service is just as problematic as everyone thinks the Playstation service is.

And there is just as much complaining in the Xbox community about their service as we have amongst the PlayStation folks.

This is a pretty awesome month for me. Being able to play Kingdom Hearts games easier since they’re downloads instead of my discs will be great! Pretty stoked for the R&C games too

@grapetrap that is some impressive mental gymnastics lol

Wasn’t Greedfall PS4 offered as a PS Plus game before the restructure? And then they eventually let you upgrade it to the PS5 version? Am I dreaming that at this point?

Not bad at all as far as I'm concerned.

I have a theory that the Premium tier is actually a placeholder for live services and their percs. I draw that from the fact that big Jim said that to him a subscription is for live services.

I'll try skyrim for the ps5 at some point and i'll will grab chorus as i so nearly bought it cheap in a sale last week..but to be honest gotham knights and now god of war are going to be taking up all my spare time..

Great month for me, really pleased

@beebs720 It's true, but also It was a game of the extra tier. They remove the game of the extra tier, but You can keep it if it was claimed before like all the games of the essencial tier.

Premium is literally useless in South Africa. No PS1/PS2 Titles anymore so I'm glad I stopped my subscription few months ago.

I think its useless everywhere? I upgraded my old PS plus account to Premium when the service went live to try it out only cost about £26 for roughly 6 month, no idea why it was only, anyway I have just down graded to Extra, my sub renews 1st Jan, unless they suddenly drop a load of PS1 and PS2 games on to the service I will not be going back anytime soon.

I will literally never have time to get through kingdom hearts from the beginning, so won't even start, but this month is a bit of a belter by looks.

@grapetrap Exactly what I’m saying all the time. What do people actually expect to get for 20 euros (in my case)? I’ve enjoyed the hell out of the two Arkham games and for me that already justified my investment for the whole year. Everything from now on is a bonus.

@Sakai

Not sure if that was a compliment or a condemnation, but, to continue with your metaphor, I did stick the landing.

@Darude84

Have you noticed nobody is arguing my point either? At this point, I think complaining about whatever Playstation has going on is really just a meme. It just reminds me of when all the toxic Ricks out there were beating up Mcdonald's employees for Szechuan sauce.

@OrtadragoonX cheers! Any specific benefits or quality of life improvements to playing on Desktop or a gaming laptop for Skyrim that you can note? Is it better with Keyboard and mouse for instance, or is it more about the mod scene?

@Ravix

It’s all about the Mod scene. At this point Skyrim on PC is almost a different game entirely thanks to graphics and gameplay mods. It plays way better than the original release.

@OrtadragoonX nice. I might wait and play on a decent gaming laptop then. Might play a little on PS5 too. I've seen those videos of insane graphics, but people are only showing slow walks around, so i'm imagining there needs to be some balance to get it to actually function as a game still on the graphics mod side of things? Otherwise they would be showing of the insane graphics in intense gameplay sections 😶

Chorus is a good one for Extra because some people end up loving it, but it gets very frustrating very fast if you can't control the ship freakin perfectly. Wish I hadn't bought it.

@Nekomichu Thank you for clarifying!

@Th3solution @Ico1977 Yeah, you are right. It feels slightly bad, but if it is a great game. I rather spend a couple of bucks on that, than 60 on a Ubisoft game. In that case, it would be much worse.
