Starting in January 2026, PS4 games will no longer be a key benefit and will only be occasionally offered for PlayStation Plus

Okay, I won't, Mr. Sony. I shouldn't have expected a service to expand to gain even more subscribers and then scale down again once they're already onboard.
If they had a current portable console you might have a point. And it'll scale up again for 5 years when we get PS5/6 games. You're just entitled.

Considering the way Sony treat old games, the PS6 probably won't have backwards compatibility.
 
I don't get it. For monthly games okay, focus on your current plattform, but the extra and especially the premium catalgue is about older or really old games? Shouldn't the PS4 only games still be rotated in and out there as long as they have some pull on customers and just have them for "we have x hundred games"?

They might use it to justify a future price increase. "We're adding PS4 classics to the Premium tier" (and we're increasing price)

Looks like Sony wants to get gamers to PS5s.

It's not like Sony ran out of PS4 games to add to sub plans. And they are BC with PS5 anyway.

having the bargain bin section or stuff you can almost only get used for legacy hardware as the premium tier is something i also don't get. premium should be day one or actually exactly this: only PS5 stuff.

Premium, as it is right now, definitely does *not* justify its price, to me at least. PS3 games being available native, instead of cloud stream, would make it a much better prospect.

There are just as many people using PS4s as PS5s.

PS4 still gets exclusive releases every month.

PS4 versions of games are $10 cheaper.
