It’s another month which means new games for anyone with a PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium subscription. This month, we’re getting a number of indie titles (and one huge title from a AAA publisher) coming to the Game Catalog that includes versions from both the PS5 and PS4 era.
PlayStation Plus is Sony’s game subscription service that gives gamers access to a library of games to download or stream, much like Xbox Game Pass. While Extra gives players access to more modern games, Premium also gives gamers access to the Classics Catalog with select titles from PS3, PS2, and even the original PlayStation and portable PSP console.
PlayStation Plus Extra costs $14.99 per month, and PlayStation Plus Premium costs $17.99 per month. Premium also gets gamers access to game trials and game streaming to devices like the PlayStation Portal.
So, what’s coming to PlayStation Extra and Premium this month? Let’s get into it.
