PlayStation Plus Subscribers Only Have Weeks Until A Number Of Games Disappear

PlayStation Plus provides exclusive content for its players, including games, shopping discounts, and early access to some of its most popular titles. It’s a paid subscription service that adds cloud storage for saved games, so players don’t need to purchase gaming titles individually but share the opportunity to play a variety of titles, as well as the previously mentioned benefits.

There are also some added advantages that some players use to enjoy their gaming experience. If you love to play online multiplayer games on the PlayStation 4 or 5, then it’s a must-have to link up with friends for the most popular games like Call of Duty and FIFA. When it comes to playing free-to-play games, PS Plus is not required, so gamers are free to enjoy Fortnite or Apex Legends.

What is PlayStation Plus

Here is where we start to get to some of the upcoming problems. Subscribers do have the opportunity to play free games for their members. However, their game titles are usually available for a month while gamers make the most of their subscription. You see, every month, Sony releases select free games to play for their subscribers that are usually PS4 or PS5 titles, where they can be claimed by adding them to your library. Once you have added them, you can download and play the game as long as you have an active subscription.

With the games you get access to play through PlayStation Plus, you need to keep in mind that you can only play them while you pay for the monthly subscription. You don’t own the games but are kind of renting them as long as you pay. So for some, it’s great having a variety, while for those who wish to only play a few games, it’s not a dream come true. There are three different tiers for PlayStation Plus.

Different Tiers

PlayStation Plus Essential is the basic and most common. For it, you get the monthly PS5 and PS4 downloadable games as well as Exclusive discounts, cloud storage, and online multiplayer access. Next, you can get the Extra package, where you get everything from the Essential as well as a downloadable catalogue of nearly 400 games. The third tier includes the benefits of the others as well as PS3 game streaming, as well as catalogue download streaming of the PSP, PS1, and PS2, as well as time-limited game trials.

The end of May is going to be a brutal month for popular games leaving PS Plus services. They will be losing about 20 titles that also include some AAA titles like Grand Theft Auto V, VI, and GTA V. There are several others like Resistance: Fall of Man, Resistance 2, with a few old classics that have stood the test of time.

Cost or Keep

There is also the price hike problem.  For those unaware, a yearly PS Plus subscription cost rose significantly in 2023. PS Plus Essential used to be $59.99 for a year (now $79.99), PS Plus Extra used to be $99.99 a year (now $134.99), and PS Plus Premium used to be $119.99 a year (now up to a monstrous $159.99).

Things are always changing in the gaming world, which means that with all this going on with the PlayStation. What are you going to do, switch, watch, stay with what you love, or keep your ear open for more? Whatever you are going to do, keep up with what you love.
