Playstation Plus

Decent month for me. Not played any of them and they all look pretty good.

Quite happy with this month's ps plus for the first time in a while - good selection

For June: God of War (2018), Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker, and Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl

I'm not usually one to complain just because the games aren't to my tastes, but this month is rather disappointing. God of War is excellent but PS5 owners have had it for 18 months already, so that inclusion is particularly disappointing.

Not sure what the other two are but I imagine everyone that wants to has played god of war by now. Pretty poor.

My ps plus ran out end of Feb and I am in two minds about renewing. I don't play much online and it may be cheaper to but the PS5 collection titles I wanted to play on the cheap as I have time to play them.

If I didn't need PS+ to play online then I wouldn't bother with it. I certainly won't be upgrading to the new subscriptions as it looks pretty poor in all honesty.

So what are everyone's thoughts on the new tiers so far? I'm still on Essential but looking through the catalogue I'm overall very impressed with what's there. Some notable omissions and a lot of filler, but lots of pleasant surprises too.

Trying to decide if Premium is worth the additional £20ish over Extra, the Classics catalogue isn't doing much for me and I'd really like a way to test the PS3 game streaming first to see how it performs in the real world. I have the ideal connection for it but I've heard it can still exhibit issues and image quality isn't as good as native.

I have a huge backlog since I’m new to PS. This is golden for me

My upgrade fee to premium was £25 something with the amount of time I had left on plus. As I was going to get ghost of Tsushima anyway at some point it was more than worth upgrading.

steve5424 · 26 Jun 2022 at 13:50

I've just gone for extra just now. May try premium later.

DIABLO · 26 Jun 2022 at 14:49

Early leak for PS Essentials (Plus) for July: Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man Of Medan, Arcadegeddon (PS5 / PS4)

Same, didn't see £20 worth of stuff in the Premium tier that I'd want to play any time soon, hopefully that changes with time but for now Extra is enough.

I'm planning to upgrade my essential to extra when Stray is added on release (Aug 19th). I was going to get it anyway so may as well try 12 months of the extra catalogue.

Sony needs to get ps3 emulation working, streaming is too laggy

darkgen · 29 Jun 2022 at 07:32

I don't get why GoW is even vaulted or offered? It's part of the PS collection which is included in PS+ subscription anyways?! Pretty poor.

You suggest it exists and that it just needs to work - it doesn't exist and never will

PS+ collection was for PS5 owners only I believe

It's a shame as I reckon the ps5 has the power for it.

I have upgraded to Extra, it was £12 for me with what i had left on the existing sub, Returnal is on Extra and i havent played that so jumped in and downloaded/playing, there are a bunch of other good stuff (to me as casual gamer) on Extra that were not part of Essential sub, so i have opted for Extra right now.....

I can see with Extra sub that there is a load of filler stuff on there, stuff that i would not download and what i wouldnt play, so will see how it pans out over the next few months and if by Nov-22 its static content i will fall back to Essential sub or cancel.

Im off work for a number of weeks so will sink my teeth into the available content so it works for me right now, time will tell though if its got legs with Sony to keep content fresh and up-to-date.

Agree with others with June GOW "free" yes its been free for PS5 for some time, i have it in the collection and i also have it on disk, no benefit to me and many others in the same boat.....
