This subscription will be available to both PlayStation 5 and the last generation PlayStation 4 users. However, the fascinating thing would be that the fans will get free games every month to enjoy, including classic games from past Sony consoles.

However, the new subscription failed to impress the majority of the fans. Most of them complained about the pricing of the subscription. They also complained about the games they would be getting for the amount they were paying. Some fans even went on to say that the Xbox Game Pass this year is better than this Sony PlayStation Plus.
As it stands the premium plan seems pretty barebones, there is potential, but it's not there yet.
– Many classic 1st party titles missing (as some more recognizable 3rd party ones)
– streaming only for ps3 games
– PS2 classics have some dodgy emulation issues from years ago— Oki the Player (@Player_oki) June 23, 2022
This new ps plus is good.. but I really hope @PlayStation you keep adding new classics sometimes, for example, why isnt Sly here?
And I really hope for more ps3 games too, infamous or something.

what do y’all think about it? I was thinking on getting it but I’m not sure yet. 🤔

Should only be 2 tiers essential for 40 to 45 and the premium with everything should be 80 to 85 its ridiculous that we need to pay for online since beginning of the ps4 unlike ps3 also let us buy the ps3 games like the psp ps1 and ps2 games

I have both Xbox, pc and ps5 and honestly in terms of subscriptions they are definitely both equal-ish. PlayStation I say will take about a year to completely catch up to gamepass, simply cause they’ll have to listen to the players to see what else people want to play.
