August 2025's PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Available to Download Now

„Capcom finally gives us the classics“

I‘m generally interested: Who in fact determines which games become available on PS Plus? Is it the willingness to pay from SIE? Or is (in this example) Capcom holding back their titles due to strategic reasons, now releasing them to building up hype for Requiem?

Either way, getting games into PS Plus looks like a huge permanent negotiation to me.

Spider-man REMASTERED 😎 uhh uhh UHH here we gooo 🤪🤪🤪

I can confirm that both Resident Evil 2 and 3 are free if you have bought the older PS3/PSP/Vita versions in the past.

I can finally play the Spider-man DLC! Really stoked.

@belmont Does it have trophies?

Resi 2 and 3 are better titles to me than the twisted metal games, which I found to be very unplayable now, even if I loved them back in the PS1 days, whereas I imagine even with tank controls the Resi games have probably held up somewhat better.

@PuppetMaster No trophies, at least in the PS4 version that I tried.

@Max_the_German It seems that third party publishers, except Capcom and Namco to an extent, do not care for this service. Others prefer to sell their retro games on all digital modern platforms as it is more obvious I guess.

Sword of the Sea & Spidey for me.

Slightly off-topic but not completely!...(help please if you can):

Star Wars Jedi Survivor left the service today. I like the game but haven't completed it. I'd like to buy the game but the system insists I already own it (which I do not). Tried deleting and purchase but that doesn't work. Contacted PlayStation support who suggest I must let my subscription lapse in order to be able to buy the game. Slight problem....I'm subscribed until November 2026!!

Is there another way?

....help please!

Got Resi 2 as I bought it on the Vita. I've never played the old Resi 3, is it worth it?

Almost bought Spiderman remastered in last sale. That, with RE2 and Nemesis, makes up for a great month for me!

@DonkeyFantasy - thank you. I've tried both (App & website) but still no joy. Good call on emailing EA. I've even had two online 'chats' with PS Agents to ask them to remove the PS+ licence from my a/c but they have been unable to action. Seems ridiculous and this issue must affect thousands, not just me.

How big is the Mortal Kombat 1 download size?

Good month for me some games I was a look at added them to my list and get on with them

I downloaded 2 and added 1 game to my library this month. It's been a very very long time since I've done this

@Feffster Assuming you have the ps5 disc version. Have you considered a hard copy? They're pretty cheap right now

@Feffster what I've done in the past is clicked on the games on my homepage, selected view product or whatever it says and I was directed to psn with the option to purchase. Been a while though, don't know if it still works.
But yeah anyway, such a dumb oversight by Sony or they cynically want people permanently tied to subs.

@Stino69 - thanks for your suggestion but unfortunately I have PS5Pro (without a DVD drive). I do have the option to play on XSX but that means starting over and I’d also like to play on the best console version (PS5pro).

@Michael2008ish - thanks Michael. Yes, that option works for some titles (I recently bought God of War 2018 that way, despite it being on PS Plus)….but sadly there’s no suitable option for Jedi Survivor. It insists I ‘own’ the Standard or Deluxe versions and there’s no option to buy them. The only purchase option I can get to is for the “cross-gen bundle edition”….but that’s for Jedi Fallen order AND Jedi Survivor (I don’t need/want Fallen Order as well). Also, that version is currently £79.99; so obviously it doesn’t make sense to buy it when Jedi Survivor is often priced @ £13.99.

@Feffster How annoying. In a recent sale that bundle was on sale for about £12ish. I bought it. It'll be on sale again at that price no doubt, I suggest you put it on your wishlist and you'll be notified when its on sale again.

@Michael2008ish - I’ll do that. Thanks 👍

There's three games on there I will maybe get round to, Unicorn, Atelier and maybe EDF (never played any). The rest don't interest me. I own Spiderman remastered, wasn't a fan.

Get me on EDF6, so hard to find players 😀 PSN is my user name.

@Feffster I'm having the exact same problem with Disco Elysium, which is still on the service I think. It's very strange.

Not much help, but you're not alone!

Sword of the Sea is a great day one to have access to in Extra. A fun, short game. These are the types of titles it makes sense to select for inclusion for launch, not 70-hour behemoths. I also downloaded PS5 Spider-man having played the PS4 original aeons ago and enjoying the visual upgrade.

@Gremio108 - thanks mate and sorry to hear you’ve also got problems. I managed to track down a telephone number for Sony PlayStation in the U.K.- 020 3538 2665. They have looked at the issue and have promised to get back to me with a solution (I now also have a case number, so hopefully it’ll be easier to go back to them on this if needed). It does seem ridiculous - I can’t be the only person who wants to buy this title and now can’t (because it was previously on PS Plus). In the meantime I’m downloading the XSX version on Gamepass, but would ideally prefer to pay and play for the PS5Pro version as I’ve started a game there and it looks superb on that system.

@Feffster cheers yeah it's not the end of the world, plenty of other stuff to play but it is a bit annoying. Let me know how you get on

@Gremio108 - good news….issue now resolved. I had an email from PlayStation Support this morning and they have removed the conflicting licence that was attaching to the game. I now have the option to purchase. The bad news is that it’s no longer on sale, but I’ve added it to my Wishlist and will buy the next time it is back on sale.

I got nowhere with the online chat ‘bots’ - if anyone else finds themselves with a similar issue I suggest you give Sony U.K. a ring on the number in my above post.

@Feffster That was quick work, glad you've got it sorted. I'll keep that number handy, cheers
