PS Plus Extra & Premium 2 Year Review: Game Quality, Classics, New Perks, & Price Increase

Рет қаралды 61,590

Күн бұрын

We’ve now had the revamped PlayStation Plus service for two full years. And shortly after their first year, they raised the price on all tiers by a considerably amount. Leading many to naturally wonder what Sony was going to offer, if anything - to maintain the proposed value that PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium are supposed to have. So if you’re a dedicated PS4 or PS5 customer, does the higher PS Plus tiers make sense? Let’s look at the games they’ve offered these last 12 months. We’ll examine the quality of games, the total library, the classic games, and the new perks like PS5 game streaming and the Sony Pictures Core app. There’s a lot to digest and this time around it’s gonna cost more. So.. uhh… hand it over punk. *glares at you with mild fear that you’ll retaliate*.

Once I’m done kicking through my backlog in a few years, I’ll let it go.

Great video. I strongly agree with the cable subscription comparison. I had similar thoughts about Game Pass before the PS+ revamp. Value will always be personal. How you engage with games matters. Timing is another factor. This year, FF7Rb has occupied almost all of my gaming time and I have not played much from the catalog. Two years ago, most of my gaming time was on games that came from the catalog because nothing really caught my attention between beating HFW & starting GoWR. It will vary by player. Also important is where do the potential players or the more low key players see value. Knowing this is important to expanding the community which is crucial for the health of the industry.

It was one thing when it was just that one Basic tier being sixty bucks a year and that's I r. Another when the Extra and Premium tier was introduced. But with how much the highest tier is now? As most people said here, it's just not worth it at all anymore. Heck someone us including myself willingly let our subscriptions expire in protest to this BS on top of switching over to Xbox's services instead. At least there you could work around their high prices even though it in itself has been messed with in regards to the conversion rate. But at least it's still a thing. Not to mention Nintendo's online service still being the most affordable out of the three to thisbday on both tiers.

Most of those games don't need remasters and could just be uprendered and increased frame rate. I just hope they don't keep putting ps2 games that were remastered on ps3 on the store if those games can eventually be ported natively or played with ps3 emulated on ps5

I let my PS Plus expire some time ago. Other than one month trying an online game out, I haven't been back. Don't really miss it either

@KING2aKAMI Ай бұрын

Obviously could always be better but with “essential” being a given for me, the extra $5 per month is easily worth it for extra and I usually pick up the premium tier on sale for like half the year so it’s another $1 a month or so to play all the quick little classics that have come out over the last year which I am fine with.

@thunderspike1892 Ай бұрын

I probably won't renew my Extra service here at the end of August. All the games like Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V, Resident Evil and others are games I already played so no idea in doing it again. I mostly use the cloud to save so I don't have to play a game several times to get the different endings to get the Platinum. But downgrading to Essential just to have that possibility I'm not sure are worth it

@SurvivedKombatants Ай бұрын

I stopped paying for Premium last year, I got a year to try out because I thought we were gonna get way more classic games which was a MASSIVE appeal to Premium. They're now just starting to add more classic games one, but ill prolly just buy them

@onicxangaming7398 Ай бұрын

I did not renew my subscription back in 2023, after Playstation announced the price increase. Followed the game announcements every month since then and up until now there is no urge for me to get back into PS Plus.

@azrael_morningstar Ай бұрын

Premium if you got money to spare. Extra is perfect for people with no backlog. Essential is for any multiplayer players or if most your backlog is from essential. Then if you dont play online and have a backlog of single player then there is ofc no need for ps plus.

It's odd how Sly and Tomb Raider Legends are 480p and Clone Wars looks 1440p. Even Ghost Hunter is a higher resolution than Tomb Raider Legends and Sly Racoon. I hope they actually add uprendering to Tomb Raider Legends and Sly Racoon as they should be uprendering.

what i do is pay for the 3 month plan and i have the premium plan i can get and see why people dont need it or require ps plus in general but for me in my opinion i do feel like i got what i payed for especially the streaming feature because i dont really like having to delete a game just to start a new game i want to play so this helped a lot and for payments wise i pay then remove my payment method because there are times when i dont feel the need of it because i dont have time to play as much but if i know i got time the next coming months then i pay for it etc but overall i do enjoy it and i understand and do see why people dont like it and have unsubscribed from it

Subscribed to premium when it first released mainly because of the hype, somehow I expected more from it, now I realize I barely used any of its features so returning back to essential, ESPECIALLY after the price jump..

I've never played multiplayer games, and I can still use my PS3 for legacy support. The ONLY feature I use with Plus is cloud storage for saved game data backup. I could just as easily move them to USB for PS4 games, but that doesn't exist for PS5 for some reason. I wish they'd offer that as a native feature or a standalone fee. With the price increase, I no longer see the value and will cancel when it expires.

I played, beat, and or platinumed 20+ games in 1 year for less than $80. So it was 1000% worth it for me. The only people this isnt worth it for is the gamer bros who only play 1 game like COD or sports games.

I was going to let my PS premium expire since I hate the new price, thankfully i am grandfathered into the old price of 80$. it would've been great if they kept streaming separate to keep the price of premium down or made a tier called Extra Plus Classics, but just like the slow kid in class it seems like they have to group it with the promising kid everyone likes as not to make the streaming service seem undesirable to the mass.

If you're not gonna emulate. Get a PS3 the store is still open And some games you can buy will carry over to your the PS4/PS5 like Legend of dragoon and cheaper

@molsen7549 Ай бұрын

I didn't renew because of the price increases. However, I also have a PC which I spend most of my time on which was a factor in my decision as well. The Extra catalogue is also padded out with old Ubisoft/EA titles and random anime games. I think a 3 month subscription is awesome for someone who has just bought a ps5 and wants to get caught up on some of the big releases like ratchet and Clank, Uncharted, Tsushima, etc. After that, it becomes less valuable imo.

The only online game I play is FFXIV and that doesn't require Plus, and I barely played any of the PS Plus offerings. If I want a classic game now I'm fine with spending the $10 or whatever to own that title and play it on my own time.
