Sony Seemingly Scraps PS Plus Game Expiry Dates

Sony appears to have made a change to its PS Plus service, making it no longer possible to view the exact date a game will be removed from the service. The Last Chance to Play tab is still part of the home page — viewed by scrolling down a fair bit on PS5 — but buttoning through to the games there no longer displays an expiry date. This was a feature we highlighted when the membership was revamped back in June, although now it's seemingly nowhere near as useful.

Such a weird change...

What's going on over there?

nirwanda963d ago

Same as gamepass as the game ages in the service it becomes less played and less visible than when the joined or service or when it leves , they put on play it now before it leaves it recreates similar hype like when it joined, its like a form of fomo.
That's when it's most likely to generate a sales as it's also sold discounted.

TheEroica963d ago

Sony has no clear business direction. They hope Microsoft and Nintendo can figure out the next trend so they can copy them with poor execution while leaning on the loyalty of their fanbase...

Puty964d ago

This change was certainly made "For the players".

DMgHalt964d ago

Maybe the games on PS Plus are available indefinitely?

Duke19964d ago (Edited 964d ago )

As nice as that would be - if that were the case, im SURE that Sony would be announcing that as a new service/benefit.

I have a feeling this is just a case a glitch with the dates or something that they are looking to work out.

Orchard963d ago

That will never happen - the licensing fees would be crazy high.

isarai964d ago

Could just be something weird going on with the store. Honestly it's been weird for like a week now. First me and my friends couldnt pull up ps+ extra games collection, it would redirect to the trials for one night, then a few days later it wouldnt let us download anything for a day, just kept saying there was an error. If it is an actual change officially, thats really stupid and doesn't make any sense

jznrpg964d ago

It’s stupid to jump to conclusions as this could be a bug or whatever . Get clarification .

Saw that Balatro got over 100000! Reviews on Steam. Crazy.

Only game from these three I care about is Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun since it seems to be a nice fps.

darthv7246d ago

boltgun is pretty damn fun... I have it on my steamdeck and it is crazy good.

DefenderOfDoom246d ago

I bought Warhammer Boltgun for the PS4. Very fun retro style FPS !

Damn, I thought the Until Dawn Remake was going to be one. Not a month for me.

S2Killinit45d ago

Pretty good month for me though. I would say great.

Tacoboto45d ago

The developer of the remake has already been effectively shut down, too.

Yui_Suzumiya46d ago

Boltgun is so much fun. I own it on Steam, PS4 and Switch (Physical). Beaten it so many times that I could probably get through it in my sleep, lol.

Still sucks wouldn't say only comes off as US defaultism

MaximusPrime_66d ago

Strange why people disagree with me. Probably they are illiterate or just fanboys who hates PS.

Anyway, the articles clearly said it and I just saved you a click. Thanks Moegooner for the list of countries

Mmmkay66d ago

Or maybe there is a difference between south America and Latin America..

With these reckless trade wars going on, expect videogames to keep getting more expensive.

babadivad66d ago (Edited 66d ago )

Switch prices were locked in before the Tarrifs. They just conveniently used the tarrifs as an excuse to calm outrage.

PSN is a digital service and isn't subjected to any kind of tarrifs.

They have been trying to find a way to increase the price for years.

Don't let them trick you into blaming tarrifs for corporate greed.

crazyCoconuts66d ago

When I look at Brazil, the increased price for PS Essential new users annually is equivalent to $61 USD, monthly is $7.50 USD. In the US it's more expensive. Just an observation that maybe they've been getting a better deal all along.

BeHunted66d ago (Edited 66d ago )

"Just an observation that maybe they've been getting a better deal all"

No, not every country has the same average salary as the United States. When releasing games and consoles, pricing should be based on the local economy and wages, which are often very different from those in the U.S

"When releasing games and consoles, pricing should be based on the local economy and wages"
So companies should sell consoles at a large loss in impoverished countries?

Sony is run by imbeciles unfortunately

Zenzuu66d ago (Edited 66d ago )

In your own words.

*All are welcome to Switch 2. Microsoft Games Studios is interested in long term profits and market value not petty fanboy thoughts.*

Now, I'll change some of it.

Show us on the doll where sony touched you

anast66d ago

They have to keep up with Nintendo's prices.

Michiel198966d ago

yes they decided on this in a week, it can't be that they were planning it anyway, it couldn't have been. Not from your favourite company.

anast66d ago

It's strange. It's like you read the words, but you don't have the ability to understand them.

ARESWARLORD66d ago

I already find it to be a terrible value. Go ahead and up the price and 100% lose me.

andy8565d ago (Edited 65d ago )

Not saying a price increase is good but I'm paying £8 a month for access to 1000 games. That's absolutely not terrible value

ARESWARLORD63d ago

How many of those games are you actually playing
