@colonelkilgore I can see Stray being a PS Essentials within the next few months, there seems to be a number of games flipping between the subscription tiers.
Just a guess and as that famous waiter would say, I know nothing.
@CaptD@colonelkilgore Yes, I noticed that too. It was nice to see that most of the games leaving Extra are prior Essential games, like the BioShock games, Borderlands Handsome Collection, etc. because I already have those in my library if I want them.
Stray will be an interesting one though. Since it came to PS++ as a day 1 release, it’s never truly been in the full market so they may let it simmer out there for purchase for a year or two.

@Th3solution@colonelkilgore Yeah time frame is obviously unknown, it is strange that it hasn't ever been on sale since it's release (according to platprices).
As for games flipping between the tiers, I've read of people having their Essentials licence being updated with the Extra one when they download it whilst it is in Extra, then once it leaves Extra they lose access to it.
Very annoying and I will kick off a download of Borderlands later this month just to see whether my copy is still tied to Essentials as I still need to finish BL2 (I didn't download it whilst it was in Extra so I should be ok).
@MidnightDragonDX Hey well done on that Stray plat. I still remember persevering with that catch me trophy @CaptD, it was no joke. Even though it wasn't quite as bad as the Sackboy one I did get close to my thinking with that - that I might just "sack" it off
@CaptD Oof… I hadn’t heard about that happening. 😧 I’ll keep that in mind and watch for any weird license swapping. I’m sure it could become even more complicated if a person actually purchased a game license, then the game went on Esssential, then went on Extra (because I do have a few games in my library that would fit that category). I would think the owned license would trump them all, but I don’t have much confidence in Sony’s PSN infrastructure.
I have noticed a few times that a padlock icon shows up next to a game in my library that is either still on Extra or was once on it in the past but that I own through purchase or Essential, but every time I’ve clicked on the game the “download to console” button is still highlighted as an option, even though the main page shows a locked icon.

@Thrillho
You absolute boss!
You are now my hero.
I am also jealous that you don't have to attempt it anymore.
Bet it was a nice feeling to get it over with.

@sorteddan Thanks! It almost feels a bit weird not to have to do it anymore as I’ve had Netflix standup specials on in the background while doing it
Your haikus need a bit of work though
@colonelkilgore Indeedy! I had the Souls type palpitations when I knew I was getting towards the end on the successful run. Who knew a cartoony platformer would give me that feeling too
Congrats @Thrillho on a highly prized platinum.
Surprised you aren't wearing the banana outfit although that probably makes the perfection needed for the jumps a bit more tricky.
@Thrillho Congrats on the Sackboy platinum, I can actually say I know how pleased you must feel to get it done! I'm certainly glad I never have to do that trial again however I did get way better at this game than I ever thought I would 😄
@sorteddan
Nicely done there Dan
Sorry for disrespecting
Your previous one
@CaptD Hipster sack boy all the way! (after unlocking the gear anyway)
@render It was quite the relief! In hindsight it really isn’t that tricky but it’s just punishing for silly mistakes and, like said on a previous page, having too many goes back to back I think makes you get worse! But it’s finally done
@Th3solution congrats bud… as someone who doesn’t generally enjoy the narrative-heavy telltale style genre, I have a real soft spot for the Life is Strange games for some reason.
@Th3solution just 1 and 2 thus far… I have 3 in the backlog though and waiting for a deal on Before the Storm. I’m in no rush though, as I don’t think I’d enjoy them if I played through them consecutively. I’ve tended to play one per year since starting them.
@colonelkilgore Nice. I dropped some post-game impressions over on the “games you’ve recently beat” thread if you’re interested.
I agree that these are the kinds of games even I can’t play back-to-back too often. I have the third one to play yet and I’ll probably slot it in for late this year or maybe next year. For now, it’s back to Jedi Survivor and FF16 until I need another break in the action.
