Death Stranding, Ghosts, Spiderman x2, Marvel Guardians I've got my money's worth on the Premium upgrade out the door.Monday, May 16, 2022 @ 08:14 AM
These games are always on sale cheap. Not worth itMonday, May 16, 2022 @ 08:35 AM
@AdamKaygun, says the guy with a 94% ratio of free games. Literally everything you have is free to play or PS+ games with under 1 hour played. You wouldn’t know what value was if it slapped you in the face with it’s dickMonday, May 16, 2022 @ 09:33 AM
For now I'll just stick with Essential. I already have most of the games on these lists that I'd want to play. I do hope the games chosen for Essential don't get worse like the drivel Xbox Gold seems to get nowadays.Monday, May 16, 2022 @ 09:43 AM
@darkrequiem7 that’s because Xbox are trying to minimise their gamepass losses by offering less value through games with gold.
It’s no secret that the expected yearly revenue of games offered between the services amounts to way higher than the income from subscriptions.
As more and more first party releases hit gamepass the quality of GwG games will drop.
As everyone has said, on paper, gamepass haemorrhages money. But it’s meant to entice people into the Xbox economy and then they make more from sales. However, over the past year, while the amount of players subscribing to gamepass has increased, the amount actually buying games in the ecosystem has diminished.
Essentially people buying the console as a gamepass machine for exclusives. But doing the majority of their gaming elsewhere. Which will be Xbox’s downfall, as it will continue to lose them money.Monday, May 16, 2022 @ 09:57 AM
I'll just stick with essential for now good (to me) was free in the past, or cheap now.Monday, May 16, 2022 @ 10:58 AM
I believe I was trying to say all of the games that were good to me have been given away through ps plus in the past. Hopefully the collection of older titles will improve over time.Monday, May 16, 2022 @ 01:40 PM
What worries me, and I think that will increase substancially over time, is that they will give more "bad" games in the Essential tier from now on, leaving the best games to the other tiers.
In other words, less value for what you paid for.Monday, May 16, 2022 @ 04:45 PM
Yeah I’ll just stick with essential. I only have time to play games that I REALLY want to play these days, so the ones they’re giving away with Premium that I’m interested in I have already played anyway.Tuesday, May 17, 2022 @ 12:22 PM
Seems like a good start, I'm definitely going for Premium!

Sony has revealed a load of new details on the upcoming relaunch of PlayStation Plus, including what games to expect at the Extra and Premium tiers.
Combining PlayStation Plus with PlayStation Now into one subscription, the “all-new” PlayStation Plus features three tiers of content, with PlayStation Plus Essential offering basically what players have access to now.
Meanwhile, PlayStation Plus Extra includes a downloadable library of PS4 and PS5 games, and now we've got a list of titles that will be available around the launch of the upgraded service, including some of the higher-priced PS5 games like Demon's Souls and Returnal, as well as some cult hits like Gravity Rush and Tearaway Unfolded. There's also several titles from third-party developers - you can check out the list below

Of course, there's also the higher-priced PlayStation Plus Premium tier (or Deluxe in areas without PS3 streaming), which offers a variety of classic content from the PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP. Again, Sony have revealed a few of the games to expect around launch, including classics like Ape Escape, Syphon Filter, Jumping Flash, Tekken 2, and Jak & Daxter, among others. You can see that list below, although strangely, it seems that Sony isn't offering any emulated PS2 games, instead including PS4-native remasters of those PS2 games, which might irk those that were unhappy with the quality of the remasters, and want to play the originals instead.

Finally, the PlayStation Plus Premium/Deluxe tier also offers up Time-Limited Game Trials, allowing players to download a full game and play for up to two hours, with trophies and save data carrying over if you choose to buy it. The most exciting of these is Horizon Forbidden West, but it will also launch with Cyberpunk 2077 and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands.

PlayStation Plus Essential will of course be updated with new monthly PS4 and PS5 games to claim on the first Tuesday of each month, as PlayStation Plus does already, and there will be a monthly mid-month refresh of the Game Catalogue on PlayStation Plus Extra and PlayStation Plus Premium as well.
The All-New PlayStation Plus launches in Asia on 24th May, then Japan on 2nd June, followed by North America and South America on 13th June, and finally Europe, New Zealand, and Australia on 23rd June.
