I was grandfathered into the Premium. I was one of the guys that bought PS Plus every time it was on sale for 30-40 USD. Im paid up until 2028. I also was subscribed to PS Now on a reoccurring payment. So Playstation threw me onto premium which still states my premium is paid up until 2028. Freaking awesome.

I'm debating on getting Extra. While I understand the challenges of backwards compatibility for PS3 games, Premium is just not an option if I can't play classics locally. There's always going to be an uncontrollable and unpredictable latency. For this reason, I still keep around my classic PS3 console to play PS3 games or revisit ones I haven't played.

[@oak7741]

Shadow of the Colossus, Bloodborne, and Demons Souls alone have me sold. The rest of the catalogue is just a bonus lol.

[@skinnybuddha8988]

I went with premium because it was only $20 to upgrade for another 118 days. That's not bad at all. The selection does need improvement, especially since a lot of the best games on there have been given away as PS plus games in the past. Ill definitely reconsider once my subscription expires, but im excited for what's on there. Even just playing Miled Morales was worth the upgrade cost

For now, I’m sticking with the Essential version. I have plenty of games from the free monthly selection that I am yet to play. When I was younger I always had Nintendo and the PS4 was my first PlayStation, so I don’t really get that nostalgia from the older games offered in Premium. But, once I finish all my current games, I might switch over to Extra. This was a very helpful video by the way! I’ve been wanting to see how the game library looks since Sony announced the new services, thanks Gameranx!

[@rubynall80]

I browsed the library, and went with the Extra. Like you said, it has a solid selection, especially considering it's a launch setup. I'm avoiding Premium, since the Classics games are severely lacking, and streaming is a huge turnoff for me.

I'm definitely isn't worth it yet but the classics isn't the reason it's not worth it by any means it has a lot of the biggest classics AKA siphon filter resident evil wild arms etc I don't know what a lot of people on here were playing back on PS1 if they were playing PS1 and aren't just poser hipsters that are pretending like their gamers but it has a pretty big collection of the original PS1 classics. also if you guys haven't noticed when they say classics they pretty much mean PlayStation hits almost all of these games that were on that catalog where we released with the green spine AKA PlayStation classics.

[@rubynall80]

@@Mothecary By "classics", I was referring to PS1/PS2 games. And by lacking, I mean an underwhelming selection. It's got both Dark Clouds, Ape Escapes, Wild Arms, sure. But it's only got one Resident Evil, none of Squares offerings, Konamis, Capcoms, and very little of the gems that launched the massive popularity of the Playstation. I myself was hoping to play some Parasite Eve, Metal Gear Solid, Breath of Fire, Parappa, Resident Evil 2&3, and maybe some lesser known gems like Shadow Hearts and Battle Arena Toshinden. That's what was lacking for most people.

The resident evils would be nice though I mean having the original one is a huge godsend people should start at that one especially since the remakes of 2 and 3 were just trash people need a good reminder of what the old ones were because those were great.

I actually remember plus when it first launched too. I wouldn't say the early games that were offered were good. I remember it being small indie games with the very occasional big AAA release.

Correction: Stray will not only come out day one for Premium subscribers. It will be for Premium AND Extra subscribers. Check out their PS Blog post.

[@danielbillingsley8073]

As a long-term Playstation owner, it does frustrate me how they have never cared about backwards compatibility or making more classic PS1/PS2/PSP games available to play. You only need to look at XBOX and they have a TONNE of games available in their back catalogue at no extra price, and they are reaching the point where the only games they cant add are due to licensing issues. Personally I believe there were some really cool games from the classic era that are way more fun than games released now (some obscure childhood favourites like Toy Story 2, Monsters Inc Scare Island and a heap of Spongebob games; some less obscure like Burnout 3 and Star Wars Racer Revenge). But until Playstation add a lot more variety in that regard, I think I'll buy the Extra Subscription because there are lots of PS3 titles in the list that I used to enjoy.

[@hurricane7727]

[@Yxngclutch]

for those of you wondering where is the auto renewal on/off option, after the update, sony changed it to cancel subscription option, it's basically the same as auto renewal option, If you cancel your PlayStation Plus subscription, you will continue to have access to all of your PlayStation Plus subscription benefits until the end of any previously purchased subscription payment period. if you didn't cancel the subscription, it will continue the subs next payment circle automatically

[@Bonus_Mosher]

Prob just a slip up, but you’re wrong about Stray, Jake! At the state of play, they said subscribers to either extra or premium tiers get it day one. Not just premium.

I have limited time to game and just want to play the latest and greatest. Also, most of the PS4 and PS5 games that are offered are games that I've either already purchased or claimed via PS Plus. I'll see where the service is in a year and reassess.

[@yusef917]

Something that I had to get some clarity on too and correct me if I'm wrong: A lot of the ps+ extra games are on timers so even if you download them you cant "add them to library" as in you don't have the title to the game you basically are just renting it. So it's not like you're permanently getting this entire library of games in extra, you're basically renting them until their timer is up. That timer ranges in time if I remember correctly?

[@jordanryan1514]

I like the classics they have on premium, but that selection is way too small. I feel like Sony kind of fumbled the release of the premium service by not having at least 30-40 decent psx games because there are so many good games on psx it felt kind of like they were uncertain of how much they wanted to invest themselves into the service which leads to some uncertainty among the potential subscribers. Hopefully they update the library which even if they could have opened with a lot of great games, it’s better late than never

I believe the games will work like normal ps plus monthly games. So that means once you either add it to your library by way of the ps app or download from the new ps plus app on the ps4 it will stay in your library but will only be able to be played while you have a active ps plus membership.

I wouldn't play those games even if they were for free. I didn't get a PS5 to play games I already played 25 years ago.

[@haknoo1981]

To fix this up is really simple: 1- no streaming or a download option for all of them. I live in the Middle East and our net here is good, but I don’t want to see if its good enough for streaming. Some of you might say just try out psnow trail, but it needs credit card information. I remember way back when ps3 servers were hacked and people’s payment methods were exposed. I’d much rather stick to buying the ps cards from stores and using them on the ps store (which you can’t do with psnow.) 2- if they games have an enhanced version, just offer that. I actually didn’t know this was the case until you mentioned it in the video. 3- i own alot of ps4 games(not all of them), so it would be nice to have more options 4- if you don’t renew your ps+ or switch accounts for region locked purposes, then you loose all those games. I used to role with a Kuwaiti account but noticed that alot of games aren’t available in the stores so i made a British account. It’s way better but i lost access to all those monthly PS+ games I’ve been adding throughout the years. Now they’re in my library just taunting me. 5- if you buy anything using the PS+ discounts, then you can also loose them if you don’t renew with the original account region. So just remove that. I’ve paid for ps+ and i paid for the game too, so it should be mine and not some licensing bs. Thats about it, what do you guys think? Am i being a hater? Did i get some information wrong? If there is a loophole around the ps+ monthly games i would love to know it

What would make their premium really worthwhile, if they had localization of Japanese games that were never released in the United States in the premium section. That would make their premium a little bit more interesting.

@@Raven-nx3os if there were localized games like say a Sonic game or one of the most popular series of games that were never localized, you know, like the final fantasy games or something like that, may garner more interest and be worthwhile. I mean there are games for series that you've never even heard of that existed that you would say wait a minute I didn't know this game existed. It would give you a reason just like versions of games released for Korea or China that may have not been released to America.

[@PantsaBear]

Ill be honest, after the amount of effort that was seemingly put into this new service, do you really expect anything like that to happen? Cmon lol. They didnt even add trophies to everything. Like Jake said, for some peopel the repackaging is enough, but this is clearly not a service that is there to start trailblazing new subscription ideas like game pass was when it came out when it started adding Back Compat games monthly and added features like FPS Boost and Auto HDR. The fact Sony is gatekeeping random things for Premium tier feels like them trying to manufacture value bc the guidelines they set up werent enticing enough considering theres like no Classic games, which is a real shame. I would especially love more Japanese games on there, as its extremely lacking in that area

I have a doubt to clarify.

So when I try to renew it, does it display: 1. The amount of funds added to PS account, 2. The type of PS+ subscription activated equivalent to the price of the card, or 3. Both of the above? Also at 0:33, the third tier, which is "Premium" is called "Deluxe" in my country.

The Extra tier seems like such a great value for any PS5 owner who doesn't own the big titles offered for it...but is that number really very high? I would imagine that most people who were able to get their hands on a PS5 during launch year probably have the games that are included. Demon's Souls, Returnal, the Spider-Man's, Ghost of Tsushima, Guardians, plus more...being able to play all that for $15 is some unbeatable value but I know I for one already own those games because it's pretty much all there is to play for PS exclusives on the new gen so far. For casual PS5 gamers who don't buy every new release this is probably an enticing deal. Also including the games in the PS Plus Collection in the Extra catalogue is kinda disingenuous, they're already available on the Essential tier

The service just launched in Europe and I decided to upgrade to the Premium version. My current subscription runs until next March and the upgrade lasts just as long... Looking through the classic games*, one that instantly caught my eye and I downloaded immediately was Kurushi, however when I checked its' expiry date, it'll seemingly runs out in mid July! *It's annoying that PS3 games are in the "Classic" section, similarly there seems to be no way to filter between PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP games. The emulation of Kurushi at least isn't great, I already own the game as a PS1 classic on PS3 and it looks good there, however in the standard 4/3 for 16/9 resolution here, the games' text is very stretched and hard to read, though in game it played very well and looked alright... Setting the game to native resolution improves the text clarify, however it then makes the primary image tiny - both problems would surely be an issue in text heavy games. And while the game thankfully has trophy support, it has too few and they're too easy to get. Anyway overall I was left thinking right now there's a lot of good with the new tiers but a lot of room for improvement 🤔😯😀🤘 (While of course it's very annoying that PS3 games are only available to stream, apparently don't include any dlc, perhaps none of the games do, though apparently you can still buy dlc for them!

I think with a couple months of added library and some feedback it’ll work out more! Personally not going for premium but I probably will by this time next year or sooner! I do personally dislike they got rid of the ps3 version of games simply because they have a ps4 counterpart like the uncharted games for the Nathan drake collection but that’s just me personally!

It would be epic if you could play all Ps1, PS2 and Ps3 games! All of them! When you pay for the premium one!

I already had a lot of the ps plus extra games, but not demons souls and some 3rd party games and since it will keep getting new games I figured it was still worth the upgrade
