PlayStation fans who have been dreaming of diving back into classic PS3 games via streaming on PS Plus Premium, hold on! When the retro-oriented subscription tier was introduced a few years ago, many took it as a chance to free up titles stuck on the old system. However, that hope never materialised: most of the PS3 library on PS Plus Premium is simply a copy of what was on PS Now before it was reorganised, and there have been very few new additions since launch. In fact, the first two Resistance titles appeared on the service and then were removed less than six months later! This leaves fans of Grand Theft Auto 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots with little hope of their favourite games being rescued.
If you were hoping that Sony would follow Microsoft's lead and add its exclusives to PS Plus right after release, we have news for you: that's not going to happen! Sony is sticking to its tried and true strategy of not wanting to devalue its top-notch content by adding it to the service at launch.
PlayStation users will be able to play online games without a subscription this coming weekend
Don't miss the chance to familiarise yourself with the games
Sony says it will continue to closely monitor and adjust PS Plus prices based on subscription trends and the "value" it believes it provides to players.
Subscribers will also be offered Battlefield 2042
As part of this year's Days of Play promotion, the PS Plus game selection is being expanded to include GTA III - The Definitive Edition, which is already available for PS Plus Extra subscribers. This marks the return of the remaster for PS5 and PS4, as it was previously part of the PS Now service when this "collection" was first released.
As part of the latest Sony State of Play broadcast, the company has revealed a list of classic games that will appear in the PS Plus Premium catalogue in the coming months. Anyone who wants to plunge into the golden era of PlayStation or experience the magic of their favourite past hits for the first time will finally have the opportunity.
The offer starts already from 28 May
Gamers can expect a lot of interesting offers
We wrote that on 20 May, the PlayStation Plus catalogue was updated with 10 new games for PlayStation 4/5, including the cult STALKER trilogy. However, now it has also become known about the games that will leave the catalogue.
On May 20, the PlayStation Plus catalogue was updated with 10 new games for PlayStation 4/5, which are now available for PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium tier subscribers. All of these titles are now available to download and play.
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.
The games will be available from 20 May
Ark: Survival Ascended, a survival simulator in the world of dinosaurs, was also included in the selection
