If you're a fan of the PS4 streaming, you might be interested to learn that the "interact" feature is already available in some games.
Shuhei Yoshida chats with FINAL FANTASY XVI Producer Naoki Yoshida.
Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Humanity, Watch Dogs: Legion, Dishonored 2, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, and more.
Today we’re happy to reveal the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog for May 2023. All games will be available on Tuesday May 16. Let’s dive in.
Holy crap, R&C Rift Apart is a huge score for those who haven't played it! It was so good.
i agree though I don't have a ps5 but i will activate this when the prices get out of apple range.
Well lets hope its soon, because you never know when the game will leave psplus.
I don't think it is fair to compare the PS5 to apple prices since an iphone hasn't been at $499 since the original iphone launched.
One thing I can say at your benefit though is that in gaming then longer you wait to buy, the better the deal, though if you wait too long your backlog will get out of control.
Rift Apart is the best chill game I've played this gen.
System seller on PS Plus is a huge win.
I think you can redeem over your phone, no? When you get a PS5 you will have games.
A huge score for those of us that didn't just buy it literally one day ago and it's on the way now :'(
But I guess it's good to own it, as well! And I don't think I want to get PlayStation Plus right now, so it's not a huge loss. But it is still a little saddening.
I got my PS5 today, actually! Been wanting to play Rift Apart for so long. And I played Astro's Playroom at a friend's house, and that was when I was like, "I NEED THIS." Such a fun little game with so many wonderful references to Playstation stuff!
Anyways.
You could just re-sell your copy that is coming in the mail. But it's up to you. Rift Apart is so damn good. It blew my mind how good it looks and plays.
I hope you love it, dude. Nothing beats a shiny new console, and the PS5 is 👌 May I recommend Returnal, challenging but not Soulsborne-level challenging, and extremely good making use of those new haptics you're going to be playing around with.
Hey I'm a relatively new PS5 owner here, but how does this new PS Plus system work? So if I go in at the Premium level for a month, it would mean I can play Horizon 2 and Ratchet & Clank just like that, right?
Yea, you don't even need to sub Premium if those are the 2 games you're after, they're included on PS Plus Extra.
Premium just adds the legacy library of PS1, PS2, PS3 titles that are on the service.
Played and platinumed Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart at launch. Loved it so much. 9/10
Am I going to download and play Bus Simulator 21? You bet :-D
Was just thinking I wish Bus Simulator was PSVR 2 compatible. Imagine looking over your shoulder at the passengers you pick up? Haha
*turns head around while driving*
"Shut the Fk up back there!!!! You want me to crash the bus?!?!?!?!!"
Yeah apparently it's compatible with a fair few wheels. Game has been out a while.
Yeah the vr experience on playstation continues to be crap compared to pc sadly.
Bus sim 21 vr on pc
https://www.youtube.com/wat...
And do do that well its on pc duh crap $700 console should do vr on alot more than select titles
PS VR2 is actually really awesome man. I have one. It's only new, so maybe I will wait for Bus Simulator 21 to get a VR update then. Judging by that video, the game looks fun in VR
Will definitely download Bus Simulator as well.
My son will surely have a blast with it.
I think this news has reunited two long lost brothers, OtterX and potatoseal 🤣.

Well technically the best deal remains by far EPIC games free offering since well it's free but aside that it's a hell of deal :)
Its funny, a few months ago this would have got so many down votes but it probably is now, the Extra/Deluxe service is flourishing. Even a day one game this month is added
@phillyDonJawn that's games added, not total. PS sub has more games on it than Gamepass but keep reaching 😂
@ PhillyDon, lol there are something like 534 games on PS Plus Extra right now. That is not including PS Plus Premium
Seriously didn’t even realise how good the PS offering was.
I’m on the highest tier but the only things I gravitate toward are the two monthly games.
It was only recently that I found how to properly browse the PS+ section on the dashboard and there’s a ridiculous amount of high quality content on there.
I own a good amount of them either physical or digital but still a great selection.
Yup. Ps extra is cheaper than gamepass ultimate as well...until those quality Xbox 1st party start actually kicking in ps+ is the most affordable and highest quality service.
I'll be trying out legion and humanity for sure.
So how does it work? Are these all available now? Or is it a rotation system? I literally only got my PS5 today and am a bit of a newb of this console generation.
These are all available right now I'm pretty sure. But I will post the actual lists of games. You will know in advance if anything was to be taken off this list too. A good time in advance.
PS Plus Essential (lowest price) - is the normal PS Plus and you get games every month. Here are the games for this month...
https://www.pushsquare.com/...
PS Plus Extra (mid price) - Is same as essential, BUT has all these extra games from this list, except for the PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP games, (there aren't that many). More releasing every month. Here is all the games from PS Plus Extra
https://www.pushsquare.com/...
PS Plus Premium - same as essential and extra. But has all the PS1 and PS2 and PS3 and PSP games. More games releasing every month. Here is the list of games from this one...
https://www.pushsquare.com/...
Glad you got a PS5. It's a good investment. So much to play and so much to come. Have fun man
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Is fantastic, I can't recommend it highly enough.
Even though you have never heard of it it went on to sell well over a million copies.
If even one person reads this and plays it and has half as much fun as I did I'll be super happy.
PlayStation boss Shuehei Yoshida wants the gaming industry to continue to chase its creative dreams.
"Got that one right, Shu!"
Kind of ironic when Sony is focused on GaaS like never before.
Companies evolve overtime. Sony has implemented themselves in the single player space relatively well. Now they can expand further by doing more all while still giving us single player experiences. Obviously Shu is speaking on GaaS games being the main dominance of the gaming space and if that’s the future then that indeed sucks.
You can have that mindset all while still creating some GaaS titles.
Absolutely! Man all the freaking gaas games theyve been releasing...wait. Not a single one.
kinda ironic when it comes to xbox you xboys can even defeat einstein in explation why its good, when it comes to ps you guys became dumb and dumber..
How so? They're only after one or two good GaaS games, they're throwing crap at the wall until something sticks, alot of those games in development are going to languish and die shortly after release. They're still predominately focused on their core strategy of great single player games (look at the previous interview where they admit they cancel alot of games).
God why do Xbox gamers always love the thought of PlayStation being as crappy as Xbox.?
"Like never before" regarding GaaS is like saying "PS3 is a console that launched with HDD space like never before": it's a very low bar to clear because there isn't much precedent.
I happen to agree with Shu here. I don't think being a GaaS title is a scarlet letter, but I can't think of any live service games that have been great at launch either. Naughty Dog is looking likely break that trend. I'd say two love service titles at a time is the sweet spot. I suspect people can only deal with a limited number of live service games contemporaneously.
Lmaooo
People always criticize Sony because 90% of their exclusives are single player games. People say they are too expensive because of low replay value.
And you wanna pretend like Sony is focusing on Gaas? Their biggest games aren't Gaas unlike MICROSOFT.
How are Sony focused on GaaS?
They own Bungie and have Destiny but the majority of their titles are far from GaaS.
Why, if you are such a die hard Xbot, do you rush to comment on Sony related articles?
@obscure
Are you ok now we was worried about your mental health state when you disappeared for almost a week from bashing PlayStation articles.
Is the word DENIED still triggering you?
I haven’t read the article as my spam blocker always red flags that site and I don’t t want to risk it so a general comment it is 🤦🏿
We all know live services game and quality rarely goes together but some of them are fun to play
@Obscure, Sony is starting from a place of zero which requires a big initial investment to establish themselves in the live services market.
It's very much the opposite, Shu said this damn well knowing Sony is going hard on GaaS. This is Shu confirming that Single player games won't be effected at all despite them going into Live service.
Except they aren't really- they have what may be a live service game from Haven studios and firewalk studios, they have another from a second party dev and an fps game with multiplayer focus by deviation games, they counted Gt7 as a live service game but really it's not much different to how recent GT titles were treated, they have the last of us factions, a Horizon multiplayer game in production at guerilla alongside horizon 3, a new ip from Bungie. The rest of their studios seem to be hard at work on traditional singleplayer games that may also have a multiplayer mode or may not. So their live service titles are mostly in development from either new teams setup at existing studios or from acquisitions they have made which really just replace the capabilities they once had through Sony Online Entertainment until they sold it half a decade ago. Only I'd argue their new capabilities in this space would appear to be better and have higher quality talent than it did back then.
Shu I agree but right now Sony themselves are working on more than 5 live service games
He never said they were not working on any. He said, he doesn't want to see Gaming's Future dominated by live-Service Games. Sony currently has 25 games in development. 10 being live service games, with the other mostly likely being single player games and that is honestly a very good balance
I agree I just hope their live service games are not simple money grabs and try to do some good interesting things
"and that is honestly a very good balance"
The issue is, whether people want to admit it or not because it's Sony, but once a company gets a taste of that money GaaS games make the chances of them going money crazy becomes super higher
I know what you'll probably say
"bu bu but Sony wouldn't do that"
NO COMPANY is immune, even the best can fall and I really don't want to see that happen here.
The fact people will completely blow that off and pretend it's not even a possibility is worrying to me because that's how we end up shits creek.
They might be fine...they might go too far but at the moment I don't think it's a bad thing at all to be sceptical with the shit this industry has gone through in the past 10 years alone.
The thing is most of those 10 games won't even be viable, out of the 10 that actually get released, probably only 1 or 2 will make the big bucks worth continuing support. I think Sony even knows that, look at all the other GaaS games that release and die shortly after. Personally I'm okay with that because I don't want the market dominated with these games.
I'd actually rather the resources go on to making some more top-tier JRPGs, I feel like we don't get enough of those in the last couple of gens.
Final Fantasy
But keep in mind when those games fail many of the studios are shut and there are layoffs
I don't want a Gaas game. I just want a new socom. A strong multi-player title with no purchases beyond the initial purchase.
Yeah exactly what I was thinking
Not 1
Not a cheeky 2
But freaking 5
Like it’s not even a “we’ll try doing one and see how it goes”
@-Foxtrot What do you have against live service games. I’m not a fan of live service games, but multiplayer games can be done right just look at Titanfall before EA killed it. As long as PS’s core studios keep making single player games, everything should be fine.
Sony said they have 25 games in development. 10 being live service games, with the other mostly likely being single player games. They have more single player games in development
@__SteakDeck__
Urm....that they are a cancer in this industry
That the majority of them fail and the developers have then wasted years on them rather than other things.
They turn developers and publishers into thirsty little money grabbers where that big money is still not enough for them.
I could go on, defending GaaS games is not a hill to die on man, it's really not
"done right just look at Titanfall before EA killed it"
Titanfall 2 was not really a GaaS type of game compared to what we are getting now so that's a really bad example.
@-Foxtrot Yeah it seems like you just have a hatred for multiplayer games. I’m not the biggest fan of multiplayer games, but like I said they can be done well. Also Titanfall 1 had no single player it was multiplayer only and it’s now a dead game, but it was still good. So yes that is a good example.
@_SteakDeck_,
I'm still salty about Titanfall 2, it was one of the only multi-player games I actually liked.
Multi-player games don't have to be Gaas games. Look at Mario Kart, Splatoon. Nintendo's games most likely don't have Gaas because they're behind the times, but this is one area where it's better to be behind the times.
And? They still have single player games. Domination would completely ruled with live services which Sony should know to still do single player. On a side note they should also do a few 1st party smaller games like indie or AA. By the way is indie a single A game.
To be fair, so has many other companies aka Ubisoft for example and many of them they decided to end development on. Just because something is in the works does not mean it will release if they do not feel it will pan out. ATM all of the GaaS we know of from Sony are The Last of Us Factions, and some kind of Horizon (Monster Hunter like) game. Also keep in mind, they do own Bungie, and Destiny and there new project be it Destiny 3 and there new IP will likely be that. So just that on its own is near half of what we can best assume.
Main issue with GaaS now days is that its very over saturated. Keep in mind as well Battel Royal games are GaaS by nature also, hell CoD is GaaS. Halo Infinity, ditto. Really now days unless something is an honest to god single player game only the GaaS term gets over used.
Not sure if many played it (I loved it) Gun's Up was a GaaS for a long while, it was going to shut down till some youtubers gave it a bit of new life for another half of year. We know Sony Mobile is working on things and it not shock me if some of this stuff is targeted to the mobile market.
Right now Sony's biggest weakness I'd say is MP games. With that Firewalk studio from lots of vets they just acquired its quite likely there game will have GaaS stuff as part of it, that is still years down the line. I think everyone needs to chill out some and just wait and see what comes. We have not really got a real honest GaaS from Sony before this or even last gen really... At least as we know them now days. Such a broad term now.
Wow didn't know this. Clever devs could do nice things with it!
Nice devs here
Is there a way yet to take over someone's broadcast? As if I was watching my friends broadcast, and then he can't beat a certain part, I could take over his ps4 with my ps4 and beat the part for him.
Wow great feature!
There's just so much positivity for PS4 at the moment. It's nothing like last (PS3) gen launch. Amazes me how much the tables have turned this gen.
W@W. Your right snookie the tables have turned.
