Sony has confirmed the launch date and other details for the three new PlayStation Plus tiers it launches, which will be available in the US from June 13. The new PlayStation Plus options are very similar to Xbox Game Pass, which gives players access to a collection of games that changes periodically and gives new owners a cheaper way to instantly access a library of high-quality game titles.
It has also released a full list of PS5 and PS4 games that will be “in the time frame of launch”, with big names such as Spider-Man, The Last of Us Part IIand god of war, as well as the lineup of classic games (included below).
However, one difference remains: Sony has said that unlike Microsoft with Halo infinity, gears 5and Forza Horizon 5, it does not include brand new first-party games in the subscription package. This means that, at least initially, Horizon Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden Westand Gran Turismo 7for example, will not be on the list.
PlayStation Plus Essential costs $9.99/month and offers basic access to online services just like the previous Plus subscription. Plus Extra offers everything in Plus Essential and comes with a catalog of PS4 and PS5 games for $14.99/month, while Plus Premium comes with all of these benefits, in addition to 340 additional games and the ability to play PS3 titles anywhere. to stream. It also includes the benefits players received from PlayStation Now in conjunction with Plus.
Sony has also confirmed that Ubisoft brings its subscription pack to PlayStation as Ubisoft Plus Classics, which will be bundled with Plus Extra and Plus Premium subscriptions at launch and includes 27 games. But again, unlike the Ubisoft Plus subscription now available on PC, Stadia, and Luna (and eventually Xbox), it doesn’t include any day one release titles.
PlayStation will also give Premium subscribers access to a collection of classic games that it says will “show better frame rates and higher resolution compared to their original launch versions.” The games will also have an updated UI with the ability to save the game whenever you want and also rewind.
Outside of Plus subscribers, PlayStation notes that if you “previously purchased the digital version of games from the original PlayStation and PSP generations,” you can download these new versions at no additional cost.

PlayStation also offers limited-time game trials as part of the PlayStation Plus Premium subscription. These trials last for two hours and the game save data will be transferred if you decide to purchase the game. So far, PlayStation offers limited trials of six games, including: Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, Horizon Forbidden West† Cyberpunk 2077† Farming Simulator 2022† Tiny Tina’s Wonderlandsand WWE 2K22† Based on a rumor that Sony will need new games above a certain price to put a demo in the program, we expect that list to grow in the future.
As with PlayStation’s previous Plus plan, the service offers a monthly set of games that you can download and play for free. PlayStation notes that all Plus subscribers are renewed monthly on the first Tuesday of the month, but Plus Extra and Premium are renewed mid-month.
While PlayStation Plus is coming to the Americas on June 13, it’s coming to Asia on May 24, Japan on June 2, and Europe, Australia and New Zealand on June 23.
