Welcome to January, 2025, folks. As the new year begins, so too do the monthly updates from Sony about the line-up of games coming to PlayStation Plus’ various tiers. We’ve got the first one of those in 2025, with three core games that are (mostly) quite good.
]]>The May lineup for the PlayStation Plus game catalog has been announced, and it sees the return of Red Dead Redemption 2 along with new releases to the service.
]]>Hello there, a whole bunch of games are set to leave Playstation Plus next month. There are 25 of them, to be exact, and some pretty big names are on that list. A smorgasbord of Final Fantasy titles, for example. Though, that's not what you should be most concerned about. Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 is leaving too, and to be honest, I don't think the service will ever recover from that.
]]>This month, PlayStation Plus members can dive into the ocean with Dave the Diver and explore mystical realms in Tales of Kenzera: Zau. Plus, more games are coming to PlayStation as part of the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium Game Catalog.
]]>Get ready for a fun month with PlayStation Plus this March.
]]>Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus monthly games for March, and the group contains a racing title, a martial arts romp, some stealthy horror, and plenty of sci-fi action.
]]>February’s lineup for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium features plenty of must-play titles.
]]>Sony has announced the game lineup for PlayStation Plus in February.
]]>There’s been a lot of chatter recently with regards to subscription services and their potential to eventually become the dominant force model-wise in the games industry. However, it looks like the current data on offer doesn’t indicate that a dystopian future like that coming to fruition is anything like a foregone conclusion.
]]>Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium games for January.
]]>More titles are joining the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on December 19, and this next batch is headlined by GTA 5.
]]>Quite a few games are leaving PlayStation Plus this month and in January - 20 to be exact.
]]>Quick bit of news for you: Sony is offering folks without a PlayStation Plus subscription to jump into multiplayer for free this weekend.
]]>A new month means new PlayStation Plus monthly games are coming to subscribers.
]]>One of the more niche selling points of the more expensive, mid-tier of PlayStation Plus: Premium, is the ability to browse game trials. These work pretty much as you'd expect, letting you try out a game for a certain number of hours for free.
]]>Teardown has been in early access since we were still taking covid seriously, and has enjoyed a lively development period with constant updates and a very active community on Steam. This is great for console players, because it has now launched on PS5 and Xbox Series with all the refinements, quality of life options, and mission content that the PC now enjoys. Check the video below to see how it runs on PlayStation in 60fps performance mode: quality and 120fps modes are available, and all of them have raytracing enabled by default (it's a special voxel type of raytracing that is baked into the game's custom engine, and it looks incredible).
]]>PlaySation Plus games for November have been announced for Extra and Premium members, and there are nine main entries and five classics to be had.
]]>A recent rating for the PSP version of Disney Pixar's Up on PS5 and PS5 was recently spotted, seemingly suggesting it's coming to PlayStation's Classics Catalogue.
]]>Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus games for November.
]]>PlayStation Plus games for October have been confirmed by Sony after the contents leaked earlier this week. A launch date for PS5 cloud streaming was also announced by Sony.
]]>The list of games leaving PlayStation Plus in October 2023 has surfaced, and there are 16 in total.
]]>Sony has announced the games coming to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members in September.
]]>The September lineup of PlayStation Plus games for the Premium and Extra tiers has leaked.
]]>In case you missed it, PlayStation Plus is getting a price increase. This comes at a time when everyone - all across the world - is being a bit more careful with how they spend their money. Everything is getting more expensive across the board - but with this bump in cost, is Sony's service still worth it?
]]>PlayStation Plus subscribers are getting a new selection of free games in September right on schedule. However, the staring PS5 game at the forefront of this month's selection is Saints Row - a critically mauled reboot that didn't exactly blow people away when it first released. At least, not in the ways people hoped.
]]>Have you heard about Sea of Stars? The gorgeous little indie game – a knowing throwback of an RPG, peppered with all the modern quality of life updates you'd expect from a 2023 release – has been slowly broiling over in certain parts of the internet for a while.
]]>Nine games will soon be pulled from the PlayStation Plus Extra service.
]]>Sony has announced the batch of games PlayStation Plus users with an Extra or Premium subscription can download and play in August.
]]>Back in June, it was announced Sony was testing cloud streaming on PS5, and now, some console owners have reported receiving an invite to the preview.
]]>PlayStation Plus has a killer line-up of free games this August, available for free across all tiers of subscribers. PGA Tour 2K23, wonderful PlayStation exclusive Dreams and the excellent Death's Door will all be downloadable starting August 1.
]]>PlayStation Plus’s catalogue of games is undergoing a few changes this month; we’ll be in receipt of 18 new games, including some great shooters, but we’ll also be losing ten games.
]]>Sony has revealed the PlayStation Plus game catalog for July 2023.
]]>While we already know that the likes of Far Cry 6, Inscription, and more will be arriving on PlayStation Plus in due course, PS Plus subscribers will be bidding farewell to some stellar games during July. Meaning that unless you cough up some cash or find a different service to play them via, now is your last chance to give these games a go.
]]>Sony has announced a new batch of games joining the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog next week.
]]>Sony is currently testing cloud streaming PS5 games for PlayStation Plus Premium members.
]]>Sony has announced the three games PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers will get in June.
]]>Have you ever wondered what would happen if you woke up one morning to find out that you were a dog? That you were burdened with leading the human race through a maze of nonsense, directing them all towards some unknowable, glorious purpose. Humanity dares to ask that question and, as one of the headline games of May’s PlayStation Plus offering (which also includes Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart), it’s perhaps one of the most essential and generous titles I’ve had the pleasure of playing via the service all year.
]]>Sony has confirmed PlayStation Plus monthly games for May, after the titles leaked early this morning.
]]>Right about on schedule, the leaker who has been bringing us news of the free monthly PlayStation Plus Essential games for a while now has returned to provide details of May's line-up.
]]>Roll up, roll up, it’s everyone’s favourite post-apocalyptic gameshow: Meet Your Maker! Have we got a treat for you in today’s episode! First up, it’s everyone’s favourite nameless player – you – taking on one of the most devastating and unrelenting gauntlets we’ve ever seen. Will our contestant be able to overcome this latest challenge; we’ve seen them rise up through the ranks of all the Normal outposts, graduate from the Dangerous level, and now they’re ready to take on the Brutal.
]]>Three new PS Plus Essential PS4 and PS5 games have been revealed for April, becoming downloadable as part of the service's monthly game rotation starting April 4.
]]>A haul of 17 new games are making their way to PS Plus, following a cheaky tease during the recent State of Play. This includes a whopping 14 new additions to the Games Catalogue for PS Plus Extra subscribers, and three beloved classics to the PS Plus Premium Classics Collection.
]]>Nine games are leaving PS Plus this month, never to return to the service again! As such, if you've got a PS Plus Extra subscription, you should redeem these games as soon as possible, before they're taken away.
]]>The PS Plus games catalogue is getting a lot of new games in March, including Ghostwire Tokyo, Immortals: Fenyx Rising, and Tchia.
]]>It’s safe to say that this console generation has gotten off to a slow start. As both a PlayStation, and Xbox owner, I am hard-pressed to really say anything on Series X/S or PS5 is an absolute, cold-hard ‘must buy’ system seller. Halo Infinite was a bit of a wet wipe in the end, and I’m just not that into all the over-the-shoulder, hide-in-the-grass cinematic stuff that Sony exclusives like to peddle. I don’t think the new God of Wars are that good, really. Xbox, too, needs something more than Forza to show off what its machine can do.
]]>A fresh lineup of PS Plus games for February has just been released, meaning those with an Extra or Premium tier subscription are now able to download over a dozen excellent new games to the home console.
]]>Sony is hosting a Festival of Play for PlayStation Plus members and it kicks off today.
]]>Sony has confirmed Horizon Forbidden West, Borderlands 3, Scarlet Nexus and Resident Evil 7 are coming to the PlayStation Plus games catalogue, after news leaked earlier today.
]]>A year or so back, I just wasn’t vibing with Tunic - and that's putting it kindly. The reality was that I simply wasn’t enjoying it, at all. I’d seen the praise, heard the GOTY chat – even from our own Dom – and yet there I was, tapping buttons on my Steam Deck wondering how on earth people loved such an irritating, obtuse, time-waster of a game. I’d decided Tunic, a darling of Xbox Game Pass (and now PlayStation Plus) no less, wasn’t for me. I uninstalled it twice, simply being unable to get into this claimed-to-be modern classic. It was added to the pile of games I like to call "beyond me," on top of multiple Souls games, looter shooters, and the three editions of Madden I'd bought over the years.
]]>A lot of good games released in 2022; Elden Ring, Tunic, Pentiment, Grounded, The Callisto Protocol, Horizon: Forbidden West… the list goes on. Despite the disparate genres, the varying budgets, the different philosophies of the development studios, all of those games had one thing in common: they’re stressful.
]]>Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus monthly games for February.
]]>The PlayStation Plus Collection is being removed from the service in May 2023, leaving PS5 users only two months to download the included-games before they’re no longer available free of charge.
]]>February's PlayStation Plus Essential games have leaked, offering some arcadey skateboarding, gang warfare, and more.
]]>If you wanted to see whether The Last of Us Part 1 was a worthwhile remake, and you're a PS Plus Premium member, you can try its two hour trial right now.
]]>There is a massive selection of brilliant games available on PlayStation Plus, for both those with the trusty PlayStation 4 or a brand new PlayStation 5.
]]>Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus games for January 2023, all of which will be available Tuesday, January 17.
]]>Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. God of War: Ragnarok. The Last of Us: Part I. Returnal, Horizon: Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, Demon’s Souls. It’s been a weird launch period for a new generation of consoles, but Sony has a solid little raft of killer exclusives under its belt at the moment.
]]>PS Plus has an impressive number of games available to paying subscribers, especially for those busting our their wallet for PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium. However, with multiple game libraries available to subscribers, it can be hard to keep track of what’s available.
]]>PlayStation Plus is one of the best ways to try out an exciting variety of games for a relatively low cost these days. A steady stream of monthly games come with all PS Plus tiers, but additional features and perks come with pricier PlayStation Plus packages. We've picked out the best PS Plus games and the listed out all the PS Plus games, but what's the deal with all the t iers?
]]>PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers have a nice gift ready for them to kick off the new year, as Jedi: fallen Order, Fallout 76, and Axiom Verge 2 are all available to download as part of the January PS Plus line-up right now.
]]>PlayStation has revealed the roster of new games that'll be added to its PS Plus line-up next week, and it’s packed full of tantalising titles to sink your teeth into this Christmas. So, what’s arriving on December 20?
]]>Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus games for December 2022, confirming yesterday's leak.
]]>Look, if I were you, I’d be dubious of that headline, too. But I am going to go even further here, now, in the opening paragraph, now that you’ve clicked and I’ve got your attention. Mass Effect isn’t just the best RPG series of all time – I think it’s also some of the best sci-fi of all time.
]]>If you've been keeping an eye on the very messy (and very public) fight that's going on between Sony and Microsoft at the moment, then the fact that Xbox Game Pass subscribers are way ahead of PS Plus tier subscribers will not surprise you.
]]>The PS Plus Essential games for December may have been leaked. If the claims from Dealabs, the hosting platform for this alleged line-up, are true, the featured games next month would be:
]]>Do you think Sony's new PlayStation Plus setup is decent? Do you think splitting the tiers into Essential, Extra, and Premium was a wise move from the Sony tacticians? Well, your thoughts aside, it seems the public reaction to the new subscription service hasn't quite made the impact Sony hoped it would.
]]>Xbox Game Pass regularly gets new games, but its catalogue of titles is now so large that it’s easy to miss or forget about games that have been on the service for a long time. If you’re like me, you’ll put games onto your ‘play later’ list, a digital pile of shame that you know full-well will see titles leave before you get the chance to sample them. That’s fine. It’s what Game Pass is: an ever-changing all-you-can eat buffet. You know the pizza is always going to be there, but the Moroccan spiced lamb might need to be gobbled up before it’s replaced.
]]>Sony has announced games coming to PlayStation Plus game catalog in November.
]]>Sony's PlayStation Plus relaunch has been an interesting experiment so far. Some people are massively in favour of the newly updated service, which boasts classic PlayStation games as well as new titles (sometimes). But there's also a contingent of people that are miffed by the updates - that think it could, definitely, offer better value for money. Especially in the more expensive tiers.
]]>The PS Plus November games for November have been leaked again on Dealabs, with the leaker claiming that Nioh 2, Heavenly Bodies, and the LEGO Harry Potter collection taking the stage as the month’s free games.
]]>It is quite difficult, in general, to find a game that truly makes me uncomfortable. There are plenty of horror games that I've played that make me squirm in the moment, but it's a rarity that something leaves me with an unending wave of a feeling that can only be described as 'what the f**k.' There is one title, though, that comes back to me with that feeling more regularly than I would like; the seminal Inside, and its ending that just won't leave me alone.
]]>Sony has announced October’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup, and it's a bumper crop.
]]>Earlier this week, we finally got an insight into just how much Microsoft earns from its Xbox Game Pass service thanks to some data coming out of Brazil's Administrative Council for Economic Defense (or CADE, if you're fancy). Per figures gleaned from the data, it was revealed that Xbox Game Pass generated $2.9 billion from consoles in 2021 (not including Xbox Game Pass for PC).
]]>We are roughly a month away from God of War: Ragnarok, and that means every PlayStation gamer and their grandma is either replaying the God of War saga – or they're planning to. And that might (and should) include the PSP games. Because they objectively kick ass.
]]>Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus monthly games lineup for October, and the games are Hot Wheels Unleashed, Injustice 2, and Superhot.
]]>I have just finished Deathloop on Xbox Game Pass. You may have already seen that I quite liked it – it’s stylish, sassy, compelling, and brings you into its world with little faff. It’s a lean experience; nowhere near as complex and unwieldy as the Dishonored series. And it takes you nowhere near long to complete, either. I think I wrapped up the Colt/Julianna storyline in a nice, easy 20 hours. Time enough to chew on it, digest the bits I enjoyed, and move on (Beacon Pines, I’m coming for you next).
]]>Deathloop is now, finally, a multiplatform title. After a year of timed exclusivity to the PS5 (a deal infamously struck prior to Microsoft’s acquisition of its studio) it’s now out on Xbox Series S/X, but perhaps more importantly, it’s now available on subscription services – both Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra – so it has never been easier or cheaper to experience this underappreciated gem of a game.
]]>Sony has confirmedSeptember’s PlayStation Plus games which leaked earlier thanks to the usual sources over at Dealabs. Looks like Billbil Kun was right as Need For Speed Heat, TOEM, and Granblue Fantasy Vs will be available to download for those who pay for a PlayStation + subscription.
]]>Earlier this week, we heard about the next batch of games coming to bulk out the PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium tiers on Sony’s newly dressed-up subscription service. At first glance, it’s not a bad offering – for owners of PS Plus Extra, you'll be able to pick up three different Yakuza titles (including the best one, Yakuza 0) – but beyond that, there are some glaring issues with this month’s rollout.
]]>The next batch of games being added to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium has been revealed by Sony.
]]>This November, the PS5 will celebrate its second birthday. Despite some first party bangers – Returnal, I'm looking at you – so far, Sony’s machine’s got off to less of a running start and more of an agonising crawl. It’s a problem that Microsoft’s new boxes aren’t immune to either, but cunningly, Xbox has pulled a rabbit out of a hat. The name of its new floppy-eared friend? Game Pass. While Microsoft has been quietly collecting studios and Sony releases a steady stream of exclusives, by Year Two, there’s one clear winner of this console generation: Game Pass.
]]>It's that time of the month again, and the roster of free games coming to PS Plus in August once again leaked before Sony could make the announcement.
]]>Look, I'm not saying PlayStation Plus is bad value. Especially not this month: it's pretty smashing, actually. As well as compelling cat simulator, Stray, we've got Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, Marvel’s Avengers, five Assassin’s Creed titles, and two Saints Row titles coming in hot.
]]>Dino Crisis, Ridge Racer 2, and Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny may be heading to PlayStation Plus Premium users if information previously posted on the Italian PlayStation Blog is any indication.
]]>Sony has revealed the inaugural lineup of games for PlayStation Plus, which will be available to play for Extra and Premium members starting July 19.
]]>Either way, now that we've had official confirmation from Sony about what to expect from July (which is typically one of the quieter periods of the gaming year), we've been mulling it over and we've come to a conclusion – this really is a fairly good month for the subscription service. Especially as the PS Plus Essentials package acts as something of an advert for PS Premium and the other tiers, at this point.
]]>Sony has confirmed the PlayStation Plus leak from earlier in the week, officially announcing the next batch of free games coming to subscribers at the Essential tier, i.e., the most basic.
]]>Sony has announced the PlayStation Plus games for June, and the offerings confirm the leak from earlier this week.
]]>Another month, another PlayStation Plus monthly games leak, this time for the month of June, this time favouring the fighting game fan.
]]>Sony has announced that PlayStation Plus Premium will not support DLC and add-on content when streaming a title.
]]>In a world where people can't help but compare Xbox to PlayStation, PSN to Xbox Live, Game Pass to whatever PS Plus Premium will end up being, it's hard to stay objective about the numbers. But, per a new report from the PlayStation parent company, it's fair to say that Sony is, indeed, raking it in.
]]>The first batch of games have been confirmed for the "all-new" PlayStation Plus, with some big headliners like Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut.
]]>My family wasn’t particularly well off when I was a kid. I picked up my PlayStation from an uncle that had gotten bored of Tomb Raider and its sequels, and most of my games were inherited from family friends that ‘grew out of’ Digimon, or ‘didn’t have the patience’ for Final Fantasy. Shame on them. In a small village somewhere on the outskirts of the UK’s grey, drizzly hinterlands (read: Derby), I relied on games to entertain myself. But there wasn’t a steady stream of them available.
]]>Looks like some of the retro games coming to PlayStation Plus Premium have leaked ahead of an official announcement.
]]>Sony has officially announced its May 2022 PlayStation Plus line-up – and it's a good one. As ever, the actual line-up leaked a little while ago, but now that we've had official confirmation from Sony about what to expect, we've been mulling it over and we've come to a conclusion – this really is a pretty good month for the subscription service.
]]>Sony has confirmed that those that are currently subscribed to PlayStation Now will be upgraded to PlayStation Plus Premium when it launches, but some users are reporting issues with prepaid cards and stacking subscriptions.
]]>Sony has announced its free offerings for PlayStation Plus members in May.
]]>A new report states that going forward, Sony will require some developers to create time-limited demos for any game that costs consumers $34/€33/￥4000 or higher.
]]>Right on schedule, the line-up for May's free PlayStation Plus games has leaked. This has been a common occurrence for the last several months, and the information this time comes from the same reliable source.
]]>Sony has announced launch dates for its revamped PlayStation Plus service.
