22 Games Hit PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week in Big Update

Wow, something for everyone there.

Gloria bendita.

Rune Factory 4 is one of my favourite games of all time. I could easily sink hundreds of hours into that again. This is a real good month, I’ll play Ratchet and Clank for sure.

How's the service not better then game pass? The quality is insane. Yeah there's no AAA day 1 but if day 1 means redfall then who cares.

So, as I was saying...

https://www.pushsquare.com/features/soapbox-ps-plus-might-be-gamings-best-subscription-service-now

Been wanting to play Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin for a while but never got around to buying it so it's nice to see it here. Rune Factory 4 too.

Now that's a lineup....for the bday month.😁👍🏾

Another solid month for me, plenty I want to try there. And having a psvr2 game included is a really great addition, can't wait to try it.

4 Bethesda game's in there

I think thats pretty much every Bethesda game on the service now

Good few there I will be looking forward to trying, can't wait to have a blast at Humanity.

Top notch again.

Good month for me persoanlly with Humanity, Sakuna and the Lake. I do wonder what the deal is with all these Bethesda games last couple of months seems strange all round.

Absolutely quality again, perfect time to buy a PS5!

Jeez, PS Plus Extra members are eating good this month 😋

Good month for Extra members

Thank you Sony 😊

I am convinced (and hopeful) with all the Syphon Filter games on Premium that a new one is Sony Bends next game.

Finally! Pursuit Force! A PSP game I have been requesting a while now!
OK, if I just insist on Daxter and R&C: Size Matters for June, over and over again it might just happen!

I knew Ratchet was coming because I said I can't wait and bought it about 2 weeks ago But I don't mind at all, it's worth and I wanted in my permanent collection as all Ratchet games are excellent! So you all welcome

God damn! After what was arguably a slightly weaker month, they come out swinging with another great lineup. Quite a few games I'm looking forward to here.

Wow yet another solid line up.

Very nice, been waiting for Ratchet and Clank RA.
Played all the dishono(u)reds and tomb raiders, I recommend both series.

The question is ... dare I play Wolfenstein Youngblood?

Some great games there. Getting better and better PS Plus

Lots of good stuff here. Its a good time to be a gamer!

This deal must've been in the works for a while. Surely xbox wouldn't just put Dishonored on PS+ extra out of nowhere.

Now that's a great month

@ShogunRok So PSP games work like the PSOne Classics right? If I have the game on my Vita I should be able to download it for free, correct? I do have Blade Dancer so that'd certainly be a nice PS4 upgrade!

@get2sammyb Really hope it has a platinum. Psp has such a great line up of games that been stuck there

If they start to add some regular big day 1 releases, il be the first to resubscribe. Stuff like The Show, Monster Hunter or Wo Long.

Mega Impressed with all these for May, I'm on essential and extra wonderful value overall very happy gamer:)

Rift Apart finally!!

@Perryg92 loved r&c size matters, but never played daxter and always wanted too. Hopefully we get both soon

Rift Apart! My patience has finally paid off!

@LilyGoMEOW Honestly not sure. There have been PS1 classics where you can get them for free if you owned them on PS3/PSP, but I don't know if it's the same deal with PSP titles. Might just have to check when this update arrives, unfortunately.

I have played most of them but not Bus Simulator, will give it a go.

Sakuna, story of seasons, and humanity VR interest me, but not as much as a load of other stuff that I also haven’t got time for because I’m playing the stuff in which I’m most interested (currently Moss 2, Cosmonious High, and Ishin).

This is the best value product I’ll barely use that I’ve ever seen in my life!!

What is taking the PS1 classics so long? You can play them all digitally on PS3...like what is seriously the hold up?

Why don’t they release the twisted metal games. Such an easy win with the show coming up.

I'm probably most pleased with Bus Simulator being on there. Yes really. But overall a really solid update.

Looks like I’ll be playing Ghostbuaters again! And checking out Thymesia.

@get2sammyb I was playing it on my PSP not that long ago and wondered if it would hit the service. Now here it is! The game is really hard, I can't get past the final mission and I'm playing the supposedly easier US version.

Lake is a great, relaxing game. Definitely would recommend it to anyone looking for a chill game with a decent story.

Again great value at Extra and thrilled to get a Bladedancer in premium

My patience in not paying $70 for Ratchet has finally paid off.

Aha, Rift Apart, I've been expecting that to hit for a little while. It seems like a very good month for PS Plus to welcome in to the new cycle of game announcements, footage etc coming soon for a very PlayStation focused few months of hype 😁

What is also weird is that I had decided I wanted to buy some games in the sale today, mostly to boost the back catalogue and try some stuff I've missed. And the main ones were the Tomb Raider series and Watch Dogs Legion, and I'd literally just watched some gameplay on my phone of both of those to help decide. So that is really nice timing, as I was wondering what would be added to Extra before deciding whether to re subscribe to that as well, so now I don't have to do both, and can skip this sale 😁😁

Extra is consistently good at saving people money and letting us try out all kinds of games.

I’m sure everyone here already knows, but the Tomb Raider trilogy is excellent. My favorite series of all time. I still remember the hours sunk in the original PS1 version. The reboot was really well done. I almost broke down and bought an XBOX when the last one was a timed exclusive.

IMO, this is easily the best month so far on the service, after launch. Ratchet & Clank marks the third big game added this year shortly after I bought it (along with Sackboy and Kena), but that's OK. There are a big pile of games on this list that I've wanted to at least try out but haven't/wouldn't have bought. Usually if there are two, I feel really good, but this time there are about 9 or 10.

Looking forward to Thymesia, Humanity and Rift Apart as well as several others. Another solid month for Extra.

Awesome list. And I'm definitely gonna check out Bus Simulator, gotta make that wheel investment worth it...

Wow great month! Too bad I bought Tomb Raider on sale last year on my Xbox. So many games, so little time!

Great selection there

Welcome home Lara!

Generally good mix for everybody. Hope Logan's shadow also gets a dualstick patch and never heard of Blade Dancer... recommended?

Thats just a rediculous ammount of quality in the extra tier. Some real corkers right there. I will be sure to go through the Tomb raiders with my wife.

NICE! So glad i didnt pick up ratchet or Thymesia. Looking forward to playing through them. Those and the few titles I've already played in the last few months alone pay for the year for me in terms of value proposition. Glad I held off on Ratchet, even with its sales, it was an inevitability that would eventually end up on here.

The rest of the extra lineup is pretty mediocre for me; in that most of these titles have been dirt cheap or free before. Yet if you haven't played them then its solid on that front too!

Pretty cool stuff. I have Dishonored 2 on Steam (and briefly had a giveaway DotO on Epic before it got force-refunded😆), but as I mentioned elsewhere the other day, I rarely take my laptop downtown these days so PS4 has come to almost match its session times at home (where I can even stream the Catalogue stuff to said laptop of I can't afford enough time to bother hooking the console up), making both games relatively viable here. And I certainly wouldn't expect to run the PC version of Watch Dogs Legion! Much of the rest is available much more portably as it is, but if you don't have a Switch and/or a PSP/Vita, games like RF4, Sakuna, FoMM, Soundfall and Pursuit Force are great additions in their own right. Meanwhile, the Tomb Raider games and Conan Exiles can serve to "recover" another portion of my currently too-costly-to maintain Russian PS+ stash... at least as long as they're around.😏

Very pleased with the selection here.
At least six games will be getting a full play through.
Solid month!👍👍

I played the Humanity Beta on my Youtube Channel and really enjoyed it. Very clever game that really makes you use your brain to solve the puzzles. Stoked we are getting it for free and overall great lineup this month! For anyone who hasn't played Tomb Raider, all 3 are amazing games. I've yet to replay it on the PS5 but Shadow Of The Tomb Raider has a 60FPS Patch Upgrade that was added back in August 21'!

@Chaudy I agree but it's still pathetic that Game Pass has MLB the show day one and PS+ doesn't have it at all

Can't wait to see the trophies for Pursuit Force!

Have most of the games on here that I wanted already but will give Sakuna and Rune Factory 4 a shot as well as the PSP games.

Some great games on the list.

Ratchet is great for the lineup.

They're not playing with the Syphon Filter games lol. I think they're only missing 1 game at this point.

I have to check my library because I think I already bought Sakuna: Rice of Ruin. I have so many games that I bought but haven't played so I have to be check these lists half the time in games im interested in.

Going to try out Humanity though at some point.

That's a great list, AGAIN!! Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is the highlight for me!! Another game I'm wanting to play for ages!! The Tomb Raider trilogy is top notch, I recomend for everyone!!

Obviously Rift Apart...but also weirdly looking forward to Bus Simulator and Friends of Mineral Town.

more crap from sony locking ghostbusters remastered to premium, good thing i brought it outright from a good sale anyways so no fall from me, a shame for anyone else who wants to play

as for the rest, i already own them so not much to choose from apart from that lemmings game, harvest moon and bus simulator sounds a bit fun lol

I don’t want to be negative, but don’t really get the appraisal. It looks like a lot, but apart from R&C all games are either old, have mediocre/bad ratings on PS or are niche arcade. Not exactly “something for everyone”.

I might try out The Evil Within 2, but hope it doesn’t feel like an old game too much.

My backlog is still huge though, so no problem. Will be downgrading to Extra though when my subscription ends.

Interested in Humanity, Lake, and still curious about Watch Dogs: Legion.

Lots of other good stuff but have played Ratchet, all of the Tomb Raiders and Dishonored.

@Aeula they were already released on playstation before the aquisition went through so sony can stick them on whatever tier they want..

I SOMEHOW kept holding off buying Ratchet and Clank so I’m delighted.

In future I must remember to leave games alone if I didn’t buy them at launch!

N.i.c.e. syphon filter logans shadow is excellent.word up son

Rain World is amazing. It's not for gamers who get easily dismayed by failing though, you will die over and over!

@Northern_munkey That's not really how it works unless a deal was signed. Microsoft, for example, can't just stick all their Final Fantasy games back on gamepass even if those games released for Xbox.

Nice list of PSP games. Definitely buying Syphon Filter, will download the other two.

Every time a bunch of games are added, you see a stack of PS+ Extra games, then less than a handful of titles for PS+ Premium.
If you were to show them to someone who had not heard of the PS+ service, which of them do you think they'd pick as the most expensive of the two?...

Premium feels a little like an embarrassing afterthought by Sony at this point. Even Nintendo's glacial adding of titles to their service, they'll at least add a bunch of games at once.
As for the quality of the titles, for 3/4 I can't say. I got 'Pursuit Force' in a bundle with my PSP back in '05 and while it was decent title for the new handheld, I'm not sure it's something that can help prop up the most expensive PS+ tier.

But adding 'Dishonored 2' and 'Dishonored: Death of the Outsider' highlights another confused part of the service. The Dishonored PS4 game is only available via Premium, with these two added as Extra. In theory because DS1 is a remaster/Definitive Edition, but then other remasters like Crysis, or the maligned GTA titles ended up in the Extra tier...

@LiamCroft

So, as I was saying.

Besides the Sony owned heavy hitter the vast majority of these additions either reviewed poorly on this site with a 3/10 game in there and a fair few 5 and 6/10. Are being re-added having already been PSNow titles, or sell for pennies in every other PSN sale.

@Aeula no thats exactly how it works...microsoft have already said all games that were already released on the playstation will remain on the sony system but moving forwards some titles may not be on it..

@Aeula i'll also add to avoid confusion that although the games are on sonys system they would have to agree some kind of monetary incentive for the publishers to let them be part of the essential/extra/premium tiers but if sony want to include any title from any studio that have already been released on sonys system then they can. Maybe i should have made myself a bit clearer.

@Northern_munkey

Just because a game has been released on the system doesn’t mean Sony can just give away the titles as they please 😂

This ***** has to be approved by the owners of the titles: i.e: Microsoft.

Either a deal was in place beforehand for exactly this kind of stuff. Or a new deal has been struck and money changed hands. Money talks, doesn’t matter how big rivals you are. Business is business.

I'd recommend Watchdogs Legion. Switch your brain off and just have some good old fashioned hacking fun around London.

@RamboMike i said exactly what you just did 🙄..keep up 👍

@LiamCroft “So, as I was saying.” yeah but when you get something VERY wrong and someone points it out you ban them 😂

For example remember you also said that Returnal would be an “easy” platinum

Or how about giving Metal Gear Survive an 8/10 😂

@PlatinumKing You can kindly leave me alone and remember you're talking to an actual person behind this account

Dont sign up for extra if you want to keep your ps plus essential games. They override the licenses if they are included in extra.

Sakuna and Rain World are my must-try games this month. There's always something cool on there.

@colt45z sony digital licenses seem to be a mess. I figure if I have that problem I'll deal with it then. Has anyone else dealt with this?

@senteiententity If you do just make sure all the essential games are downloaded that you are going to play before signing up. It seems to happen when redownloading previously owned
ps plus games. customer service at sony is useless.

Where are the PS Plus haters now? I am loving this service. I paid less than a SINGLE game's price for one year of the subscription and I can play HFW, Sackboy, Thymesia, Kena etc etc etc. So glad I never bought those games.

Ratchet and Clank is "really really good"? It's got very nice graphics and yeah, it's not half bad, but you might need to get out more. How many reallys do you use for something like Mario Odyssey? Rift Apart is entirely decent.

Look yes this is overall a great month. Personally I'm beyond peeved though. I'm paying top wack because I want PS1 and PS2 games coming out on the regular, it's not even semi regular. Where are all the great titles from these eras? It's not even a drip at this point. Month after month of disappointment. Where is Dino Crisis, Parasite Eve, Medal of Honour etc
