There are many PlayStation Plus Premium hidden gems waiting to be found, including the gratifying Gravity Rush 2 and the intriguing Telling Lies.
Gravity Rush 1 and 2 are amazing can you believe the guy who created Silent Hill created these.
Agreed. And it was definitely top 5 on the platform for me. Genuinely loved how charming the series is/was.I loved it so much that I Platinumed it twice (Gravity Rush 2 and its Japanese variant, Gravity Daze 2).
Such a lovely series. I say this once every 3 or so months, but Sony committed the gravest sin in my eyes by dismantling my favorite Sony studio, Japan Studio and I really had a hard time forgiving that.
Concrete Genie developer PixelOpus is currently hiring staff to work on a PS5 game powered by Unreal Engine 5, and is working with the studio behind Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse.
Hmm teaming with spiderverse studio. This should be interesting. Seems each game bigger and bigger
They should patch Concrete Genie for next gen , the game looks gorgeous even thou it has its framerate locked at 30 fps.
Vehicular mayhem, supernatural action, and magical Genies await you next month.
Good to know this isn't locked down like the PS+ collection Which requires the console to access them.
yeah you can just collect them ahead of time while they are free and then when you get the system down the road you can install them. Don't forget to do that with Maneater this month (if you haven't already).
I am glad you asked this and people responded. I had no idea either, I have just added Man Eater and will do so with these when they go live. I have a feeling it will be a while until I can get my grubby hands on a PS5 to play them.
Question, if I "purchase" a game with ps+, and for some reason it leaves the store, would I still be able to download it? I'm more concerned about the ps collection, but I need to go purchase a larger hdd for my ps4 games.
Incredible month! So glad I waited on buying Control (especially with the PS5 version locked behind Ultimate Edition). Going to be awesome to play that on PS5. Concrete Genie looks great and hopefully this will make Destruction All-Stars take off (if it's good enough to warrant that). Great month Sony
@Storm23. Control was in the sale and I was going to get it but held off, I'm so glad I did! I wanted Concrete Genie and maybe Destruction Allstars will be fun. Great month.
Its an incredible month indeed. I was seriously on the fence about if Control was a game I would like, so held off on buying it, even when on sale. As for Conceete Genie, although bright vibrant the gameplay really didn't grab me. I will now get a chance to play it, and should be playable in vr with the PSVR I hope. Destruction All-Stars is now sitting nicely in my PS5 library waiting the day I do get a PS5 to play it.
I bought control just over 2 months ago, waited to play it, still haven't opened it but because I downloaded it as usual when buying something I can't get a refund.
Great month! I'm actually signing up for Plus next month despite not having a PS5 yet.
I just signed back up thanks to that thread I saw the other day. Got two years for $60.
Maybe you can get your money back... "maybe". Because last month Sony refunded people who bought, I think it was ManEater in a sale just before the Plus games were announced. But I wouldn't count on it this time.
I bought Control on sale also, but honestly, I'm not too worried about it, happens once in a while, but even without Control, this month still kicks butt, all 3 games have unique appeal too. The best part about PS plus is they really aim to pick games you want to play, not always 10/10 games, but games you know you will try, especially since they are included with PS+.
Bought it on sale not too long ago as well (cheap PS5 game) - I'm fairly gutted. haha.
If you bought it within the last 14 days and haven't downloaded it yet then you can request a refund
Hopefully, Sony will refund you if you bought this game on the Playstation store. If you did I would look for the Sony message.
Wooohoooo. This is a really REALLY good month for me. I missed Control and Concrete Genie and we get Destruction All-Stars for PS5. Can't wait to start playing.
It's the Ultimate Edition of Control as well so that's 2 PS5 games this month
I'm especially happy about it being the Ultimate Edition. Very generous of sony.
I love getting trophies, so for me it's basically 2 games in one. I plat the ps4 version, then come back in a years time and play the ps5 version.
Concrete Genie is really charming and fun, fantastic PS plus game. Hope you enjoy!
Been looking forward to a fun multiplayer since I lost interest in Fall Guys - I hope this turns out great, but I haven't seen much of it, which is odd at this stage. Could this be the next Rocket League to feed my addiction?!
Pumped about Concrete Genie too - supposed to be great and I understand there's a VR mode in it, even if it's not the full game!
EDIT: I missed Control! I guess i get to see what the fuss was all about - awesome month!
Cool, thanks, just looked it up - deeper than I thought and looks pretty promising. I look forward to having my ass handed to me next week then lol
Edit: In case anyone else wants to see the 7 minute deep dive:

I'm surprised to say Destruction Allstars looks a lot better than I thought. It's not my kind of game, but I can play it for a bit. Looks like Rocket League meets Fortnite, and I don't know why they wouldn't have shown it off significantly more.
That being said they need to eventually bring it to PC as well, to make sure that it keeps a community, and if they can PS4. PS5 is too new to carry this game for too long, and as more games come out the community will slowly move to the new game releases.
Make sure to download the PS5 version of Control as well (PS5 upgrade is included in Ultimate Edition).
When you add it to your library, it will probably come up as the PS4 version initially so it's quite easy to accidentally download the wrong version
It's easy to choose which version to download on the PS5 now. They changed it. Before I heard it was a bit of a hassle. But apparently they fixed it
When downloading on the PS5 now. It brings up a list and asks which versions and such do you want to download. It'll let them know without a hassle.
They just gotta pay attention with Disc upgrades as someone might miss the advert box for DLC and such being a upgrade button instead. Got my first upgradable disc game yesterday (Atelier Ryza 2) and thought it would have just immediately ask which to download. But then mid install realized it was the ps4 version and saw the upgrade prompt above the trophies
