But this is PS+ Essential, not Extra or Gold. Which also means these games can never leave the service.

Agreed. Leaves Games with Gold in the dust IMO.

 

[Captain Toad]

Agreed. Leaves Games with Gold in the dust IMO.

Yeah. I meant Extra or Premium. Not sure why I said Gold.

 

[skit_data]

Even after releasing their extra and premium subs, Sony just keeps releasing great games on essential.

Best deal in gaming.

It’s actually interesting, I was almost sure the Essential tier would take a nosedive quality wise but the last ywo months have arguably been the best ones in a long while. I hope they keep it up, and improve on the Premium tier content because that’s the only thing lacking.

 

[trikster40]

Trying to get in all those Activision games in before the acquisition finalizes lol.

I really need to quit buying games, I paid for all 3 of these

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

If this is Essential alone...this could be one of the best PSPlus months ever depending on the other 2 tiers!

 

[skit_data]

Trying to get in all those Activision games in before the acquisition finalized

The only good ones IMO

 

[El Pistolero]

How "scary" is little nightmares?

Horror games are not my genre at all. I'll never play silent hill or amnesia, but I'll tolerate last of us.

Think "Coraline" or some Tim Burtonesque type of horror trip.

 

[Ansphn]

Agreed. Leaves Games with Gold in the dust IMO.

I bet the dollar deal for Gamepass is why.

 

[FunkMiller]

That's pretty sweet. Looks like GamePass goes on pause for Plus next month.

I am a subscription whore.

 

[Bridges]

Good games, but the only one I haven't played is Yakuza (any of them). Can you play this one without having played the ones that came before?

Yeah, there may be some references that you won't get because it chronologically takes place after the first seven numbered games, but it's a new story with a new protagonist, should be a good starting point.
I do highly recommend going back and playing some of the brawler games at some point though, at least Yakuza 0 it's just so damn good.


This is a really great month, PS+ is killing it with this and Stray last month

 

[Just_one]

really hoping for Little Nightmares 2 dammit

I kinda hate brawlers, so maybe I just shouldn't play them at all lol.

 

[Roman Empire]

Wait, that is some great lineup. I have Tony Hawk and Little Nightmares but still, great lineup nonetheless.

 

[lovetalkgames]

These are great additions. Been having a lot of fun with PS+ since the new format.

 

[Magic Carpet]

This will be my first set of missed games on a Sony Platform since PS+ was first introduced. My Sub is up End of this month (28th). My storage is about to become empty with only 1st party bought games available only on the Playstation.
Also be my first step back into PC only territory if they keep releasing 1st party on PC.

 

[FloopCookiefix]

maaaaan I would be super excited for Yakuza Like a Dragon and getting the PS5 upgrade, but it's an absolute shame it doesn't have a PS4 --> PS5 save transfer feature
I am... not going through the whole game again wheeze

Hope anybody who hasn't played it yet enjoys it though, one of my favorite games for sure

 

[anthony2690]

What's your issue with these games you mention? My issue with scary games is jump scares, little nightmares doesn't have them.

It is just a puzzle platformer with a creepy atmosphere, it's a nice little game imo.

 

[mckmas8808]

Wow! PS Plus essential is dropping some absolute bangers.

I plan on playing all three.

I thought it was going to get worse, once the expanded PS+ started. I was wrong....

 

[lughnasadh123]

It would be nice for a change to be shocked how good the list of games are instead of how bad. Been hoping LoD would hit Extra - this is even better.

 

[Gudji]

Best deal in gaming bar none

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Nice! Already have Yakuza but I'm down for some Tony Hawk!

 

[Fbh]

Damn this might be one of the best months ever.

Was actually going to say these are some good games for the extra tier, but the fact it's for essential is amazing.

 

[Captain Toad]

If this is Essential alone...this could be one of the best PSPlus months ever depending on the other 2 tiers!

I'm sure Extra will be fantastic while Premium is nothing. Not sure Sony's plan here with the less you spend, the better value you get.

 

[GhostOfTsu]

Best deal ever just got even better! How is that fucking possible?

Activision is the best Playstation partner, they keep supporting PS+ since the beginning. Sekiro next month?

 

[00Magnum Gaming]

Brilliant, best deal in gaming.

 

[Skifi28]

It's a shame I just bought Yakuza, but the offerings are really good.

 

[Robbinhood]

Wow that is Extra tier worthy.

 

[legacy24]

ya this will be the best month of the year if it's true

 

[PuffyCan]

Rally good month if true

 

[mejin]

PS Plus is killing it. Despite no day one first party releases, the service still gives great value for consumers.

I thought Sony would make Plus Essential as bad as Games With Gold to force people to upgrade to Extra or Premium, but they are really respecting consumers with Essential.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Brilliant, best deal in gaming.

And it's not even close.

 

[DenchDeckard]

That's strong with Tony hawks.

I'm loving the competition, everyone will win.

 

[SEGA_2012]

One of the best month of all time.

 

[Hugare]

One of the best month of all time.

Yeah, honestly cant remember a better month from memory right now

At first I thought that those were new games coming to PS Extra or whatever

 

[shaddam]

 

[skit_data]

Confirmed now

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Oh, very strong lineup for PS+ Essentially. I think Extra tier will have Rolleball or something Day 1 too?

 

[SportsFan581]

Sony doing a great job with these this year. MS needs to up their game. I still think this matters at the end of the day, good for general brand PR. Games with Gold has been forgettable lately.

 

[tmlDan]

 

[ChiefDada]

Nothing here for me but I'm happy to see the majority of people satisfied with the offerings.

 

[mejin]

Oh, look...Sega games coming to Plus.

 

[Esca]

Sweet I've wanted to play like a dragon but sale prices were always a bit high for me

 

[TintoConCasera]

Always heard about those Little Nightmare games, but never tried them. Are they cool?

 

[Draugoth]

 

[Captain Toad]

Surely, this means Extra, right?

If so, hopefully Sony doesn't pull an Xbox and take them down just so they can announce them as new when they put them back up again.

Getting Tony Hawk for free would be awesome if I did not already have it.

 

[Punished Miku]

Well they already have Yakuza on there, and they bought Activision so THPS is coming. Little Nightmares is not a huge game.

 

[bender]

Great lineup but I own them all.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Oh, look...Sega games coming to Plus.

Sony acquiring Sega next Wednesday confirmed?
