Only 4% of players are satisfied with the highest level of PS Plus subscription: lack of benefits makes them choose other service levels
May was not the best month for PS Plus Premium subscribers. Instead of the expected addition to the library of classic games, users received only one new (or rather, well-forgotten old) game - Battle Engine Aquila, a first-person shooter from PS2. Moreover, this month, subscribers will suffer losses, as Sony has inexplicably stopped streaming support for a number of popular PS3 games, including Resistance: Fall of Man.
Here's What We Know
In the first five months of 2025, Sony's most expensive subscription was replenished with only ten classic games, which is an extremely slow pace for a service that costs a considerable $160 per year. Of course, other advantages include the aforementioned cloud streaming (including the ability to stream to the PS Portal handheld console) and several bonus games for PSVR2, which, however, will also soon leave the service.
Unsurprisingly, only 4% of subscribers consider PS Plus Premium to be a good deal, with another 52% expressing disappointment with the current state of the service. That's a pretty low figure, especially considering that at the end of last year, it looked like Sony was finally starting to streamline its subscription service by adding a variety of games like the Sly Cooper series and others.
So Sony has to seriously rethink its strategy for PS Plus Premium if it wants to regain the trust and satisfaction of its players.
