Sonyhas revealed some of the games that will be available on its upcoming revampedPS Plussubscription platform. And we’ve got a mix of triple-A releases and retro classics that will be making their way to the service.
PS PlusExtra and PS Plus Premium members will get access to a slate of first-partyPS5andPS4titles, according to theblog post. The list includes big names likeUncharted 4, 2018’sGod of War,Ghost of Tsushima, and theDemon’s Soulsremake. Sony also confirmed some of the third-party titles available will includeAssassin’s Creed Valhalla, Hollow Knight,Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, andRed Dead Redemption 2.
On the retro side, there’s some PS1 andPSPgames that will be available to PS Plus Premium subscribers. They include hits like Ape Escape, Tekken 2, and Worms Armageddon.
A selection of these classic games have been upgraded with higher framerates, higher-quality resolutions, and, in some cases, they’ve had new user interfaces added that allow for additional save systems.
The good news is that if you’ve already bought the digital version of one of these retro games from the PlayStation store, you’ll get access to the new-and-improved version at no extra cost. And you can buy qualifying titles individually, too.
Several retro games included in the service will actually be remastered versions that were originally released on past console generations. Jak 2, for example, will be available to play, but only the PS4 remaster of the game, not its original PS2 version. Other remasters include Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, and Bioshock Remastered.
To top it off, Sony confirmed severalPS3games that will be available to stream for PS Plus Premium subscribers. They include a couple of standout first-party releases, such as Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time, Infamous 2, and Resistance 3, as well as third-party titles like Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 and Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.
