Holy crap, R&C Rift Apart is a huge score for those who haven't played it! It was so good.

[just_looken]

i agree though I don't have a ps5 but i will activate this when the prices get out of apple range.

[outsider1624]

Well lets hope its soon, because you never know when the game will leave psplus.

[DivineHand125]

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.

[LordoftheCritics]

Rift Apart is the best chill game I've played this gen.

System seller on PS Plus is a huge win.

[roadkillers]

I think you can redeem over your phone, no? When you get a PS5 you will have games.

[MasterChief3624]

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.

[potatoseal]

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.

[Dirty_Lemons]

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.

[Eonjay]

Humanity!

[closed_account]

For the love of it! 😱😱😱

[Tapani]

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?

[closed_account]

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.

[potatoseal]

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

[potatoseal]

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?!?!?!?!!"

[Davros69]

haha, you sound like an Aussie

[MrNinosan]

Have to download it as well. Is it compatible with wheel?

[potatoseal]

Yeah apparently it's compatible with a fair few wheels. Game has been out a while.

[just_looken]

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

[potatoseal]

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

[just_looken]

I doubt it will look at psvr 1

[Dandalandan117]

Will definitely download Bus Simulator as well.
My son will surely have a blast with it.

[italiangamer]

I think this news has reunited two long lost brothers, OtterX and potatoseal 🤣.

[potatoseal]

LOL my long lost brother (╥_╥)

[closed_account]

brothers from an otter mother? 🤔

[italiangamer]

[meanmallard]

PS Plus IS the best gaming subscription.

[S2Killinit]

It really is the best way to go.

[Outside_ofthe_Box]

The best deal in gaming?

[crazyCoconuts]

For a lot cheaper than the other guys even

[PhillyDonJawn]

102 games aww that's cute 🤭

[Petebloodyonion]

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 :)

[andy85]

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

[andy85]

@phillyDonJawn that's games added, not total. PS sub has more games on it than Gamepass but keep reaching 😂

[potatoseal]

@ PhillyDon, lol there are something like 534 games on PS Plus Extra right now. That is not including PS Plus Premium

[ModsDoBetter]

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.

[Crows90]

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.

[MasterChief3624]

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.

[potatoseal]

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

[Ps5conehead]

These are available may 16th

[meanmallard]

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.

[Crows90]

May look into that one.

[meanmallard]

If even one person reads this and plays it and has half as much fun as I did I'll be super happy.

[jznrpg]

I own a physical copy good game

[andy85]

Awesome month

[MaximusPrime_]

Already renewed my ps plus extra subscription last month. Good timing. Expected some great games over the next couple of months. Great selection for this month.

[Vengeance1138]

Most hyped for Pursuit Force! That series was nuts on PSP.

[Sonic1881]

Syphon Filter: Logan Shadow was one of my favorite stealth action game back in the day

[Majin-vegeta]

We just need Omega strain and we'll have all syphon games

[Sonic1881]

🙌

[isarai]

OH SNAP PURSUIT FORCE!

[gold_drake]

YES
OMG Ratchet and Clank

[outsider1624]

God Damn!!! Yesssssss!! Was wondering how Forbidden west came out before Rift apart. Wooooooo baby!!!

[DOMination-]

Good stuff. Service needs more visual novels though!

[jznrpg]

Just buy them ! They are on sale a lot . Or buy them physically

[thesoftware730]

What a nice list of games.

[anast]

Nothing beats the value of PS+ for console gaming.

[hiroyukisanada]

Damn, that is a GREAT month! Still disappointed in the PS1/PSP classics except for when they FINALLY dropped Legend of Dragoon. Everything else is excellent!

[ChasterMies]

And folks still say Game Pass is the best deal in gaming. :-P

[qalpha]

It was for several years. The last 6 months PS Plus has caught up to it. The competition between MS and Sony is good for gamers, though. It forces each company to try to outdo the other and keeps there prices from going up and up.

[crazyCoconuts]

Humanity is a day 1 game with PSVR2 support! Hoping for more PSVR2 games to be added in the future

[mastershredder]

Starring: A Bunch of Games You Already Own.

Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart IS a great addition. It's like non-stop next-gen theme park. Weeee!

[bleedsoe9mm]

They are certainly stepping it up to compete with Gamepass which is great for every gamer.

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

Where are the people here who 'like to support devs' and 'purchase games' instead of 'encouraging subscriptions that kill life-time sales and will destroy gaming'?

Humanity is day one, by the way. Dead on arrival sales-wise, yeah?

[potatoseal]

Humanity is releasing on PC as well. PS Plus is not on PC. Sales should be fine.

These games (besides Humanity) have already had their launches and sold loads of copies. Now they are on PS Plus. They'll get a fat check and renewed hype for their games that have already had their time in the sun.

Maybe if you try real hard, you can think of a username for yourself. I know it's hard for you.

[andy85]

One's an indie the high profile Xbox game wasn't. Bit of a difference

[jznrpg]

This game released on PS4 already and is a small indie game. A bit of a difference from AAA titles

[gleepot]

glad to see rift apart on here, finally can play it

[Puty]

I wonder what happens when they run out of Syphon Filter games. Fun games, but not exactly Playstation 'classics' I wished for.

[Majin-vegeta]

Twisted Metal 1,2,34&Small Brawl are next :P

[sdplisken]

Ratchet!!!!!!! Yesssss!

[Petebloodyonion]

Really great list with several big names can't go wrong with PS+ extra tier.

[jznrpg]

Some nice games this month no doubt

[MEGANE]

It seems to me that playstation is trying to the deliver a knockout punch even when xbox is already down.

[Babadook7]

Good games. Man, I wish the cost hadn’t jumped up so much.

[repsahj]

I'm a sad Essential subscriber. T_T

[Viljong]

Awesome i want to play rift apart again since i sold my physical copy, goty level stuff.

May is also good month for the psvr2. Red matter 2 launching, hubris and round about minigolf. Other games too.

[Vithar]

sick line up!

[46player]

If you haven’t played R&C Rift Apart, what are you thinking?
Honestly bought this game, not a fan of the franchise, and loved it. Gameplay is fantastic and it’s still one of the best PS5 games.
Now that it’s on PS+Extra you really need to give it a try.
