PlayStation Plus Explained - The Ultimate Guide to PS Plus

[@Vramonsteroids]

Charging for online play is kinda greedy

[@martinnamnu2420]

Move to pc

[@Myles]

Gonna keep it real... this really is the ultimate guide! Excellent explanation Rob.

[@keepitclean540]

Honestly overpriced

[@iisoaoo]

Worth it

[@dat_plane_dude]

It’s about the same as Xbox game pass so I would say it is worth it

[@AANGSBALDHEAD]

​@jaredfoo6178 They're both overpriced, you brung up Xbox as if it would have made a difference

[@Aresmoa]

It’s $4 more than Xbox and yet I feel it’s worth every penny, they give you a massive amount of classics that in my opinion give me that perfect nostalgia for me to enjoy it to the fullest

[@fruitzurk]

Aye, if Sony keeps giving us the best GAMES and CONSOLES they get my money

[@crossxfuse]

I'll stick to just the essential thanks. I don't feel like losing access to games I already got through the monthly games, like so many other people have with the Mafia collection and other games

[@awsomerobyn2603]

And to be honest, if I look at the collection of game it doesn’t look worth it to me.

[@illuminate427]

The best thing to do is keep titles on your wishlist then up your subscription for a month, play all the games and then cancel the subscription a month later.

[@pixeljauntvr7774]

Pretty much what I do. I never have these things renewing. I treat them as rentals. They'll never replace actually buying a game and opening it.

[@5ag_70]

The games you buy with PS Plus subscription doesn't matter what tier you have, it doesn't stay with your account for life. I had the issue today, where some of my games got a lock icon. And it seems they were removed from the PS Plus catalog and once remove you can't access it until you buy it.

[@KEN_DEN]

So once your membership his expired, the games you bought are no longer playable?

[@foshoalex]

@@KEN_DENyes they will have a lock icon

[@petar4onachev]

I want a list where I can see when a game leaves the Extra and Premium Tiers so I know how long I have left to play and complete them.

[@mostafasultan9118]

And also to give a reasonable time to finish them 100% after the announcement of removal dates

[@skootdiggity1301]

There is a Google doc that tracks all the games that are leaving or have left, both PS Plus and Game Pass.

[@Fernweh1965]

I thought once you download a game you owned it forever?

[@dripfoe_3307]

​@@Fernweh1965 No, you own it so long as you stay subscribed. But they will always remain in your library, so if you unsub and resub, you'll always have access to them.

[@pixeljauntvr7774]

​@@Fernweh1965 The only true for the essential tier.

[@killz-_-skillz]

Thanks to premium, my gaming backlog is well and truly out of hand 🤦‍♂️

It's wonderful isn't it

[@3row4wy23]

For real, for real

[@garethconner1009]

Be brutal. Cut em out. Can't play em all. Rob knows

[@benjaminwilken4147]

156 games in backlog, don’t have time to finish 1

[@owenlawani4992]

If u get ps plus premium do u also get the extra catalog

[@MrBacaza]

Finalllly, a thorough explanation. Thank you Rob & Access team

[@dripfoe_3307]

More thorough than ever. A much needed update. They still missed a big benefit which is the day 1 releases for some games.

[@Toasted-Cat]

Gotta love having to pay for basic features 👍

[@ConorJTobin]

Paying for damned demos?! Gimme a break…

[@peopleschampiii584]

Multiplayer online should be free!

[@ghudson44]

Thanks for this essential guide Rob! It was extra helpful. Hope you have a premium day!

[@brucehudson9098]

Hi, iam a Hudson in Alaska which feature should I download Cranium extra or regular

[@brucehudson9098]

Premium

[@PSPlayGaming]

When will we see new PS2 games join the service? We've had none emulated since launch.

[@tylercross2235]

I completely agree we need to see more ps2 games

[@KayoticReaper]

Rob, please bring back Friday features. It's been a while

[@MollyL5]

Just got a ps5. Thanks, new to playstation community. Subscribed

[@CJBooks4]

Thanks for the video Rob, it clarified some things that I wasn't sure about what they were specifically

[@Gunnumn]

The annual membership teir kinda has my interest into getting a ps5. Id like to play some of the old classics without having to rebuild another collection.

[@theaizien3857]

It would be nice if you put Bravia Core in the premium with Sony movies and TV programs or at least a couple of tickets every month to redeem the latest releases or have months of subscription. I would like a vertical subscription that offers more different but related things

[@nitaiw5956]

how can you know what game is free in playstation plus ps4

[@faidou9954]

I wish more legacy titles hot released on PS Premium in a state that isn't glitch and actually works on launch.

[@oskarirautio3860]

The good thing about the ps now service was that it was cheaper to stream classic games if didn't want to rent or play online multiplayer at the same time. If this plus membership could be improved, then maybe this way: if only want the tenth monthly payment, can choose one of the three extra, premium or essential

[@TheChaylaq]

What if a game gets deleted from the catalog which I downloaded, can I not play it anylonger next month?

[@sp00kypook76]

Premium would have sounded cooler if I had the ability to play the games without depending on cloud gaming. Some games like Gravity Rush and the Nathan Drake collection sound fun to have but I refuse to play around with premium if a lot of the ps3 stuff is cloud.

[@BUFFSTORMTROOPERS]

[@hadarkoren2231]

If I download all the games I've wanted from the game catalogue in extra, and than downgrade to essential. will I still be able to play the games I have downloaded in the game catalogue?

[@Alex_Logan22]

Nope

[@Kelvin-JRT]

Use your platform to say free online play like the PS3 days and PS plus subscription separately if you say no you’re a fan boy

[@shandeboss]

Really important question here... let's say I save my game data (progress) into the cloud. What happens when the cloud expired. Let's say for example once a year or 2 years I did a 1 month subscription just to get my saved data.. Will it saves forever? Or be deleted if years pass and I did not Re subscribe?

[@Darth-_-Maul]

They wont be deleted

[@schaz888]

When the subscription expires will it automatically buy the subscription again?

[@peopleschampiii584]

Essential makes the most sense to me. The access to all the games is nice and all but there isn't enough time to play them all. Especially if you are locked in on some long rpg

[@NineBreakerUIXB]

I do love premium (giz another discount for both new and existing subscribers plx) but the catalogue for PS1/PS2 titles really is lacking in comparison to how many great games there were. It's a minor complaint as I've definitely gotten my moneys worth and I know licences expire but I'd love to rack up some trophies replaying some oldies. Legacy of Kain, Armored Core, Grandia 2, C&C, Bloody Roar just to name a few I'd like to see on there personally

[@JohnFisherChoir]

Love Extra, best games!

[@robloxian7154]

Make multiplayer free

[@russellwortham2902]

Thanks for the info and thanks for clarifying that once I download a monthly game it’s there until I unsubscribe. I’ll try it out. I did download Spider-Man, but when I went to play it, it had a lock 🔒 symbol 🤔

[@ugur.bektes]

What if you added a game to your library and it eventually leaves the collection like you mentioned? Does it get deleted from your library as well?

[@CrumpPumps]

No, it will stay

[@nellorosati9067]

But u need ps plus to play them right

[@brandonnaidoo3804]

There's a glitch with the ps plus games, most are getting the expire in 15 minutes, even after license restored.

[@gtag174]

Did not get it rite, does the subscription include discounts to buying the game or downloading and playing it

[@mohammadalialnemer198]

does the downloaded games remain installed after subscription ends??

Yes but you cant play them

[@NågotUnikt]

So if i cancel the subscription the games will be gone the next time you subscribe? No matter which subscription you pick?

[@ged3373]

Great video. I just have a question. Let’s say i bought the premium subscription so now I have access to the games catalogue. Let’s also say that I added most of the games from the catalogue to my psn account library. Will these games still remain in my library even after I am not subscribed to ps plus anymore?

[@PlayStationAccess]

No, you only retain access while you are a subscriber.

[@litzoom2813]

Do you keep the games you bought while having a playstation plus extra for example if i bought spiderman while in the subscription would i keep it if the subscription is over?

[@nou108]

You didnt buy the game with the subscription. This is only for the 3 monthly games. The libary is more like a rental

[@elijahben4521]

Is there any price difference between the three different tiers of Plus?

[@EDWN_]

My brother recently purchased an essential membership for a month however when he tried playing online, it says he still needs to purchase it. And the ps plus logo does not appear next to his username either. Is there a way to fix this? The purchase went through and it removed 9.99 from my brothers account it just makes no sense why it acts as if he never did buy it🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️. Please tell me how I can fix this issue its annoying.

[@jasonbelike2392]

So the monthly games are free and you can just put them in your library for downloading them later?

[@mnajjar85]

Is there any plan to extend Cloud Streaming to other countries? I am stuck in 12-month premium subscription without getting this benefit (which was why I switched to premium)

[@MrOffroad487]

To be honest I don't want to pay extra to play online with the DVD already have

[@dixie_rekd9601]

For playstation+ premium, are all the classics available on PS4? Are they ALL streamed via cloud gaming?

[@rwa01]

Good but didnt include a pricing guide, as in how much each costs?

[@scotslater]

So can you use the streaming or cloud gaming or whatever to play anything available to you in your subscription package on the go any where you want with your pc and a controller? For example, I am in the military and travel all the time... Can I leave my PlayStation at home and just bring my laptop and controller with me and use all the benefits of my PS+ premium package?

[@abhishekagarwal7695]

One question, If I download the game and start playing after one month of subscription the pass gets over. Will I still be able to play the game or will I ask my subscription again to buy to play further? Please answer
