Playstation Plus discussion thread - Part deux

Revoker88

Can't say I'm surprised, it is Sony.

I'm sure most people who have a console awhile have the games claimed anyway but it was handy for people who only just got the console.

Example being my niece, got a PS5 for Christmas and was delighted when I told her there were games she could play with PS+ as she only got one game with the console plus a game I gave her. Meant she had plenty to play while building up her game collection.

For fellow thickos like myself;

1) go to PlayStation store (not plus)

2) right bumper for ‘Collections’

3) scroll down to ‘The PS Plus Collection’

4) scroll all the way right to ‘View All’

5) go through and make sure all 19 are added to library. Should all say ‘Purchased’ or ‘In Library’ - unsure why there’s a difference

People who only recently got a PS5 can still add them to their Library and play them after the 9th as long as they have an active Plus sub. I'm surprised it was on this long tbh.

Yeah I seem to remember when the PS5 came out it was expected by people that the Plus Collection was only a temporary thing.

So lasted longer than I expected.

I'm struggling to find this on the mobile app. Anyone able to direct me. This is what I see in benefits below the subscription tab. I'm not seeing those games.

Last time I looked at PS Plus Collection was on the console. Have never seen it in the app.

You can only get access the collection through your PS5 and not the app. It's a bonus only for people that have that console.

I think the difference is In Library games are installed, Purchased are not

This news about the Plus collection reminded me of something that I’ve often wondered; what happens to the games you’ve redeemed through Plus if your subscription lapses (let’s say for one year) and then you re subscribe?

Do you regain the licenses for everything when you sign back up or is it all lost for good?

Official line is that if you let the subscription lapse, you could potentially lose all access to all games you've managed to get before, even if you resubscribe.

In practice, I've a vague recollection of someone losing access to one game after restarting a subscription but the rest were still there.

Good to know, sounds like it isn’t worth the risk of finding out.

I had no idea they were available and I must have it about six months now, so reading here this morning was a nice surprise.

Same here, got a PS5 at Christmas but wasn’t aware of this collection so happy days. :)

Playing through The Last Of Us from this collection again every Monday along with the TV show at the moment so still getting some use out of it.

No you don't lose them,

I've let my subscription lapse several times on playstation and still show stuff from PS3 library even on there...

I hate direct debits so always cancel my subscription soon as I add it to my account

Bought mine about two weeks ago. Got an email today. Was confused what this was about. Came here and you've saved my brain. This is a class bit of news. Really helpful!

They're usually accurate with the leaks.

Forbidden West is a huge game to get added. I wonder if this means other PS exclusives will show up here after a year

Iinm the only Sony PS5 games older than a year not on Extra are Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection.

Horizon FW has DLC coming in April, so it's probably just to boost players for it.

Wossack

From the screenshot, is Horizon going to be premium only?

Looks like it in the image but that would go against what Sony stated would be in the tiers.

Better not be, from my recollection of seeing what each package offered, the only difference between premium/extra was you got access to the classic catalogue, and the game trials thingy, which is just a demo run of a game from my understanding. So id doubt they will start messing around with what extra gets.. it'd be pretty lame of them to do that..

Also am i mistaken or did they already just have RE7 in the catalogue? As its in my library and i never bought that as i have it on PC 😁

martyos121

I’d say Horizon will be Extra, Premium is usually only reserved for remakes and classics.

It might even be on Essential though. They’ll want to get as many eyes on HFW as possible too with the new VR kit dropping soon, which happens to feature a new Horizon game. Sony are wise enough, anytime they give something decent on Plus, there’s always a link somewhere to a new software or hardware release.

RE7 is in the plus collection for PS5.

JimBurnley

Games confirmed now. Several others too, including Forgotten City (an absolute gem) and the fairly recent The Quarry. Also some flight sim Ace Combat 7, not sure if that's any good or not.

Resident Evil 7 is excellent.

Zero-Cool

Oh my God, The Forgotten City, ye absolute lucky bastards who haven't played that yet! Also, the Quarry is excellent, I had such a great time with that but missed the good ending so will give it another go. Ace Combat 7, name rings a bell....

Penn

The Forgotten City is absolutely terrific. I went in blind knowing pretty much nothing about it bar watching one trailer, but it completely hooked me in. Such an amazing experience.
