Pushsquare: "PS Plus Premium has today brought back a PS1 Classic in The Legend of Dragoon (as well as Wild Arms 2 and Harvest Moon: Back To Nature), but you do not need to subscribe to the top tier of Sony's service to play any of them. The three games are up for standard purchase on the PS Store, meaning you can circumvent a membership and buy them like any other PS5, PS4 title."
Sony kicks off PS Plus' 15th anniversary by chatting with Game File about the past, present and future of its gaming subscription service: Talking price, catalogue tweaks and where the PS3 games are.
Glad, I’m about to downgrade when they raise the price. For me, I don’t really access much or care about the games they have in the library and if I do, it’d be cheaper to just buy them over time rather than stick to some expensive subscription model.
When you're new to the service you've got an avalanche of games to play. After you catch up, I agree, it's not worth it beyond the Essential tier for me.
That being said, the Essential tier is the best deal in console gaming imo, based on the monthly games you get to keep.
Yeah same will be downgrading $214 aud is insane and we don't even get the streaming capabilities in Australia which they said would make the top level subscription cheaper.
If i was to just buy the games I actually play that come to the service id be far better off.
Ill keep the essential tier to retain the games ive collected since the ps3 and for mp but I'm not convinced of the premium tiers value any more
Went back to essential a few months ago. I’m buying more physical and it has helped in finishing more games.
Extra is probably the best value for money right now, Premium doesn't have anything special enough to justify paying the additional imo.
*unless you have a Portal & you catch Premium on discount during Days of Play or Black Friday.
Yea, I really do wish they'd up their effort on Premium titles, but allowing a large catalog of titles that can stream to your Portal without even having to use your PS5 is pretty awesome. We travel about 2 hours to stay with my inlaws from time to time, so it's been pretty killer to only need to take my Portal for that!
Extra has been getting worse and worse each month. I've had it since it's launch and it's been great to play some games I may not have played but the selection has been declining rapidly for a while now. My sub runs out in August and I'll be going back to essential. They actually add games to that which are more appealing.
Nice choice. I agree!
Jeanne D'Arc was my favorite PS+ catalog title from last year & I Platinumed it!
cloud streaming to the portal, without using the ps5, is the selling point of premium to me.
Diablo IV, King of Fighters XV and Jusant available to all members as PlayStation Plus turns 15!
I missed only 6 months of the first year of PS+ and have claimed everything since then. What a huge backlog that I & all the other longtime subscribers have!
same here Otter they give us 3 Games every month i have been a PS Plus for a long time thats alot of games to play Also i have you on PSN Otter but wont say who i am LOL.
Lol, I have a number of N4G'ers on my PSN friends list. Goes back to when we used to have an N4G group in the PS4's Communities platform. I bet you added me then. Man, I miss those!
PS plus July 2010 - May 2025. 95% of the games I didn't play or I purchased previously. Still collected them for some reason. Switched to PC only for now. Don't play as much a I used to, plus their games have been making to PC mostly. Enjoy them while you can.
Sure is good to an extent but I’m kinda salty with the constant price hikes without the extra content to warrant the hike. Diablo been on game pass day 1 for ages sure it’s a Microsoft game but see that’s where one is better than the other . I’ll take king of fighter for sure tho love that game . Thinking of getting the New city of the wolves
I only have 378 of the over 500 'free' games that were offered. I started my PS+ subscription in 2013 when it became mandatory for multiplayer access. I also claimed every 'free' game even if I didn't have an interest in it at that time. I figured I might as well since Sony was paywalling me now LOL.
A solid roster of games this month. I'll be claiming these as well and adding them to my monster backlog.
Wubba, wubba. I'm in the pink today, boy!
KOF XV, even without any dlc still offers a lof of content for everyone that does not care about a good story in a fighting game at least.
Have it already with all dlc of course but its good to see new players thanks to ps+ that can get a beatdown by my Geese ^^
PS Plus Extra and Premium are set to lose 6 games in July, 2025, including Gearbox Publishing and Gunfire Games' Remnant 2.
Remnant 2
Dying Light 2
Crisis Core –Final Fantasy VII– Reunion
Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong
Job Simulator
not a huge lost, altough cc ff7 is a really good game.
Thanks to extra I was able to experience Crisis Core. Zack is so underappreciated. And then we were supposed to cheer for Cloud bonking his lady?
The ending is soul crushing :(
I loved the original on psp, from all I have seen it did not look anything like that.
i mean its a remaster remake whatever.
of course it wouldnt look like that xD
its still worth playing if u liked the og
Yeah but 7 remake for me was also just og 7 cut in pieces, draged out and boring. So I am afraid of trying out cc
I'll be buying it today! :D
Cool that they kept the same pricing as before for PS1 classics. 5.99 and 9.99.
And for us who already bought it on the PS3, it's "free". 👍
Sweet, I hope they continue this trend, it sucks when it's locked to the higher tier subscriptions that I have no intention of purchasing.
So just remember, all of you who have been chirping about Legend of Dragoon for years now, Sony is going to have numbers on how many people either purchased this game or downloaded it through a subscription. So they'll know if you were all talk or not, and they'll definitely factor that in when considering what other classic games to put out.
