I don't know how much they can really one up it until the Activision deal. But at the very least this keeps pressure on Gamepass to keep their price low, and keep offering the best they can. Win / Win for everyone really.
Yup.

Only purists who buy all their media hate sub plans. And only warriors who want their brand dominating want gimped services. Competition brings out value and deals. It goes for every industry out there, except some game warriors would rather have one company and shit deals and options.

By the looks of whats offered the PS plans seem good. For me, I would just do the mid tier plan, but when you got recent games on it and UBI+, the deal gets better.
 
sony really dropping the ball on this launch and missing these absolute bangers

You may not consider it to be top tier but within the space of a month last year Gamepass subscribers got both FH5 and Halo Infinite. That's the direction they need to go.
While I enjoyed fh5 for a while, it's not great, was released with serious issues and is basically a map pack for the previous game. Halo isn't great either lets be honest.

Yet the ps service comes with 2 actual goty winners for an opening gambit.

Really great stuff. Sony is serious about the service, and I genuinely believe it will be a success. You know what would be even more exciting though? Finding a PS5...

It's great for people on PS I suppose, but I can't help but find the "retro" lists really short. Where are all the third party hits ?

Glad I paid the £145 for three and a bit years membership on the highest tier now. Always wanted to give Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut, Demon's Souls and a few others a go.

Also please don't skip Guardians of the Galaxy, best game this generation so far.

PlayStation Plus Premium/Deluxe members will have a selection of popular classic games to play, with some titles that will show improved frame rates and higher-quality resolution compared to their original launch versions. For select original PlayStation and PSP classic games, members will also enjoy a new user interface with menus that allow you to save your game at any time, or even rewind the game if you want a do-over.
So the optimizations are not for PS4 versions of games - but PS1&2 games - hence 'Premium members'..

FPS Boost for PSX & PS2 titles confirmed?

Also, players who have previously purchased the digital version of games from the original PlayStation and PSP generation will not have to make a separate purchase or sign up to PlayStation Plus to play these titles on PS4 or PS5. When these titles are released for PS4 and PS5, players can head to PlayStation Store and download a version for the consoles at no extra cost if they already own the digital version of the title. Some of the titles will also be available for individual purchase.
Good shit!

Glad they didn't take the Nintendo route.

Mainly PSone and PSP games so far

My PS plus sub runs out this month.
Waiting to see more of the list before I decide which tier to sub to.

Since when is Ubisoft+ on PS Plattforms? I thought they only announced the xbox release
"*** This title is available to PlayStation Plus Extra members as part of Ubisoft+ Classics. Access to Ubisoft+ Classics games is a benefit for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members."

Ubisoft+ Classics. I've googled and cannot find this specific tier of ubisoft+

They also announced it today:
https://news.ubisoft.com/en-us/article/bPREDsvbMwS7wKIHlnVF1

Will be included at no extra cost in PS+ Extra and Premium with 27 games at launch and 50 at the end of this year

Can someone Photoshop a Vita sitting outside the window looking in like the Wii U?
Digital PS1 and PSP games bought in a Vita (or in PS1 or PS3) will be downloadable and playable at no extra cost on PS4 and PS5. Without needing to buy them again or having a sub.

So I had the original Spyro and Crash PSX trilogies for my Vita. I can just download again on PS5 for free?
If they get added to the PS4 and PS5 store, yes. If not added, I don't know.
Shame to see all the Koei Tecmo games are gone. No more streaming Atelier Rorona for me :messenger_pensive:
This is a list with only some of the over 700 games that will be available at launch (plus more will added every month).

Wow nice list so far. Not exactly rebadged PSNOW like I thought it might be.

Very impressive and looking forward to this .
 
So you can purchase these game if your not on PS+, and you don't have to repurchase them if you had in the past? That's good, especially considering the new features (rewind, save anywhere, etc).

But, the list of retro games is weak so far. I hope they fill it out faster than Nintendo has with their service.

This is far better than I thought. Now, can someone clarify if only PS3 games are streamed? Will all the games from the other platforms be download and play?

Great start. Huge games in the main lineup, wow more than I expected. Nothing I haven't played yet out of those but then also a bunch of games I wouldn't buy but I'd love to check them out. And Ubisoft+?

Pretty decent especially if you are new to ps ecosystem. It shows me how many games I actually already own though. It’s only a middling value for me (which is ok)

Time to cancel Gamepass it seems.
Nothing of worth beyond MS first party stuff and that is really really tame.
Bit hasty, I'd wait until month two at least.

First month was always going to be a "your move ms" moment.

In an unrelated question, does anyone know if the downloaded version will get removed when/if they take them off the sub or does it remain indefinitely like psn + free games?

I don't think so - there is nothing on this list of partial titles that is remotely new. Where are the games like Sniper Elite 5, Trek to Yomi, etc. It would be nice if Sony did the same thing - third party day one releases because they won't do it for their own games.

Nothing saying that won't happen. It already has happened on PSnow with Shadow Warrior 3.

Noticed you can't actually buy PS2 games on PS3 anymore too.
Is that new or?

Day one indies are pretty affordable. I'd expect that on both services, with some battling for exclusivity.

Yes, the PS3 will only be streamed. Due to hardware limitations PS4 and PS5 can't properly (full performance, no bugs, including games that take full advantage of its hardware) emulate PS3 according to both a PS3 engine programmer from Insomniac & ICE Team and the programmer of the best PS3 emulator.

The PS2 games are really just the remasters already available? God that's bad. The PS1/PSP selection is also very barebones, who would've thought that the leaked games are all there was to the classics. At least the PS4/5 lineup is good.
So you can purchase these game if your not on PS+, and you don't have to repurchase them if you had in the past? That's good, especially considering the new features (rewind, save anywhere, etc).

But, the list of retro games is weak so far. I hope they fill it out faster than Nintendo has with their service.
It's great for people on PS I suppose, but I can't help but find the "retro" lists really short. Where are all the third party hits ?

The list included in the PS Blog includes only some of the around 700 games that will be available at launch. There will be more PS1, PSP and PS2 games available day one. In addition to remasters and remakes of PS1, PSP and PS2 games there will be also PSOne Classics, PSP Classics and PS2 Classics.

Regarding the PS1 and PSP ones, unlike the case of Nintendo if you bought them digitally on PSP, Vita or PS3 you'll be able to download and play them for free in PS4 or PS5 without needing to buy them again or without needing to have any sub. They expanded the crossbuy of these digital PS1 & PSP to PSP, Vita, PS3, PS4 and PS5.

All PS+ and PS Now games always have been also available in the PSN store to purchase. So yes, if desired you'll be able to buy digitally these PS1, PS2 and PSP games on PS4 or PS5.

The list of games included will be different for each region and they will show the full list for each region as they keep releasing in each place. Next week they release it in Asia (excluding Japan) so it's the first place we'll see a full list. Regarding retro games many western ones weren't released in Asia outside Japan which I assume these games won't be there for them.

Ubisoft+ is part of this? That's pretty awesome. That means every Ubisoft game will be on the service day one.
Ubisoft+ will be released on PS. But what it's going to be included in PS Extra and Premium is Ubisoft Classics, a subset with old games. Will start with 27 and at the end of the year will have 50:

Seriously? No RE 1-3 or DC 1,2?
They said these lists are only some of the over 700 games that will be available at launch. There will be hundreds of games available day one that aren't included in the lists.

To people who are assuming these are all the games, remember that Jim Ryan said that over 200 studios and developers have put their content on PS+. This list hardly even makes half of that list.

Be patient, and more games will be revealed. Notice how there are no games from Square Enix or EA or Devolver Digital. Many publishers would be hesitant in revealing their games at this stage because that would affect their game sales for the next 30 days.

We'll see a bunch of games the day the service launches.
 
Amazing news. I'm here for IQ. Hoping they add in more PSX games along the way. Are the PS1/PSP games supported locally or only via streaming?

Yep. I'm looking forward to being able to subscribe for a month or two and being able to play the next AC, WD, FC, or whatever game comes out.
