PS Plus Extra, Premium Lose Five PS4 Games on 15th November

I wasn't able to play them anyways because they were premium, no loss for me 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

That’s such a nuisance. I played the first one last month and kinda wanted the other two there for when I want to go back to them. There are hundreds of games the service could lose without me being at all interested. They pick two of the ones I’ve never played and had on my back burner…

I think Sony shouldn’t be removing games from the service until they get their act together as far as their subscription models are concerned. It sounds like they have so much to do to convince people to upgrade from the base tier.

I guess the 3 Mafia games will go back onto my wishlist. Already owned the other 2 before they were added. So at least I can keep playing them.

When the new games are announced they should just add a footnote of the games leaving, it's weird they try to obfuscate that useful information.

2k games never stay on subscription services long wouldn't be surprised to see their own in the future like EA play or Ubisoft+

@huyi wait, the mafia games were on the premium tier? If so, why?? Wasn’t that tier for Classic PS1|2 games and PS3 streaming? Why are there native PS4 games there?

@Tharsman Premium includes some PS4 remasters of games from prior generations but it's not a clear divide, for example TLoU Remastered is in Extra.

Hope as many people play the Mafia 1 remake as possible. It’s just a brilliant game all round.

@huyi You were right not to choose the premium tier. I got 5 years stocked up and so far I’ve finished like two games, Returnal and Stray, and that’s Extra tier games too… As for the Mafia games there’s no way I’ll have time to finish ‘em before they leave unfortunately.

Safe to say I’m an idiot, luckily I got the years for cheap at least.

I guess I'll be knocking out Mafia 2 while I can. Luckily I finished the other two already.

@Bionic-Spencer and what do they need to do to get their act together? The higher tiers give access to hundreds of games for the price of a single new release. Seems like a pretty good value.

the games aren't ment to be there forever. you have a few weeks to play them so play them?

@Relygon I don’t agree, I already got my money’s worth for Premium by playing Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, with Heavy Rain next in line. It cost me only € 20 a year more.

Yeah I’m sorry but for the average gamer that’s no where near enough time to even finish one of those among other games and life getting in the way. If this subscription service is to be taken seriously and not be any cheaper than it currently is, it really ought to be in the service for a year minimum.

@Darude84 That’s great! My “problem” is I’ve played so many games already. I’m sure there are gems I have yet to discover but so far I can’t say the selection have been exceptional, for me.

@KidBoruto Yes, that’s right. Not too shabby to be fair, so I’ll probably get my money’s worth at some point.

@Tharsman because they originally touted premium as PS1 2 and 3 but because they didn't have a single one of those games to add to the service last month they've been covering that up with PS4 games more and more 😂

@Relygon syou're just calling people who got premium for full price idiots. I see. and too bad for you you've only played 2 games from your PS+, I finished more including premium games

I've had Mafia 3 in my library since it was with PS Plus years ago. Most likely one of the dozens of games I'll never get round to playing.

@saffeqwe …lol no. I called myself an idiot for stocking up on multiple years before I even knew what the service could offer me.

@saffeqwe You might want to actually read comments before commenting on them...just a thought.

Can we please get a reasonable minimum advanced warning period in place that's fairer than < two weeks? Imagine this was for some sprawling RPG, you'd never have the time.

@Tharsman it doesn't matter to them, any ps4 game that is popular will be locked to premium, they did the same with the yakuza games aswell, even when this service was announced and they stated all ps4 games will be available to extra users they have done the turn around regardless, i had the last laugh though when i brought the yakuza remastered collection on sale at 55% off 🤣🤣

@TowaHerschel7 don't remember asking for your advices

Great games, and I'm glad I bought the collection second hand a year of so ago

It'd be a great thing for SONY to tell us way in advance which games will be abandoning the service. That way we could schedule our game priorities. If they remove Ghost Of Tsushima next month I'll be pissed.

They’ll prob end up on regular ps plus in December.

I remember reading in the comments a little while ago that someone had said they didn't bother looking at the sales anymore because they had the top tier of Ps plus, which at the time I thought seemed a bit short sighted as it has always been clear that games are going to come and go from the middle and top tier of plus and only is it with the base ps plus that the monthly games stay in your library once added. So even though I currently have the full ps plus if I see a game at a good sale price and I want to play it at some point I will buy it even if it currently on extra or premium.

@huyi I owned the disc based trilogy, but I'm pretty sure I downloaded and played Mafia 3 on Extra disc free, as I don't have premium. Maybe because some games say upgrade to premium, but that is if you want to stream them, not download.

@Ravix @huyi 3 was on Extra, 2 and the remake were Premium

@Ravix I'm talking about the Yakuza trilogy remastered, I'm aware that kiwami collection is premium only

@Relygon yes, it's about having the time to play them in the first place if the games are long you won't be able to play anything else

Is there a fixed date each month the Extra/Essential games are announced? Also The Godfather would be a great addition! Awesome ps2 game

@huyi wait, what? I was responding to your first post where you said it was "no loss to you because you can't play them as they are locked to premium" so I thought I'd let you know that you can play Mafia 3 on Extra :S

I'd recommend it to everyone too, still holds up pretty nicely, it's stylish, a little bit of a grind but a good story, very brutal and some really memorable missions

Leave the games. Take the cannoli.
