Endless indies, PlayStation Classics, epic adventures, gravel churning racing and stealthy shooters are all free to play on PlayStation Plus.
A few years back now PlayStation split up their subscription service, PlayStation Plus, in to differing levels.
If you’re a casual gamer, the lower monthly subscription called ‘Essentials’ may be the one for you. This gets you monthly games, online multiplayer, and exclusive discounts at a low monthly price. Or ramp up your PlayStation gaming with two more options offering up an expansive virtual play buffet. ‘Extra’ adds a game catalog of downloadable PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 titles.
A ‘Deluxe’ aka ‘Premium’ 12 month subscription includes all the benefits of ‘Essential’ and ‘Extra’, plus a catalog of classic games from older PlayStation consoles (PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP) and game trials. If you live in a region that does not have cloud streaming, ‘Premium’ is listed as ‘Deluxe’.
PlayStation Plus does a couple of other things too.
Get yourself online and battle against other like-minded players. Secondly, your precious game data and game saves upload to the cloud, saving storage space on your console.
This is especially great if you change or upgrade your console, say a PS4 to PS5 or to a PS5 Pro.
No need for timely external hard drive backups.
The games catalogue on offer is vast and varied catering to every genre. PlayStation are also releasing some the their old catalogue with an ever growing Classic library. All free to play for the length of your subscription.
Is a PlayStation Plus sub worth it?
It sure is. The subscription service unleashes the power of PlayStation, expands your game library for the duration of your subscription and it gets you social as you race, fight or team up with the players around the world.
