    My Essential sub is ending in a few days. If I don't renew now but wait until later in the year when there's an offer, will I regain access to all the previous PS Plus games I've redeemed?

    I've been through this. You loose access to your ps plus games (they get a little lock symbol) until you resubscribe. This also applies for games like wreckfest, which had the ps5 upgrade given away, but if you bought the PS4 version before and stop subscribing, you cannot play the ps5 version until you buy it or subscribe again!

    Anyway, I paid about £54 with the 15% off vouchers plus the resubscribe deal that came through about a month and a bit ago. So worth waiting if you can.

    Also you cannot add games unless subscribed - to make that clear

    Another month where I don't regret letting my subscription lapse..

    Immortals runs in 720p lol.

    That's not a bad thing; it uses most of Unreal Engine 5's most performance-heavy features, like ray-traced lumen lighting. It still upscales to 4K and uses FSR2.

    Anyone got any good deal for the ps plus subscription.
    mossmanfly's avatar
    You can only buy PS+ direct from Sony now. So best way is to buy cheap PSN credit, or wait for Sony to do a discount offer on PS+.

    Blimey - Immortals of Aveum was released about 6 months ago 😬

    It's a mediocre open world game. Forgettable, but i had fun with it.

    What games do people think should be included in this? Just so we can work out how much you want for your £6 and how insane you all truly are.

    Can't wait to not play these awful games
    jamie915's avatar
    How do you define an awful game? Or do you just call any game you haven't played awful?

    The bar just keeps dropping, Skul is great but we get a £5 flop with aveum and the joke that was legends as the mainstays? This after the price hike? Ooft.
  12. XP200's avatar
    Do Sony think that making the bottom teir 60 quid and filling it with trash will somehow just make me want to give them 80 or 100 quid for the 2 higher teirs? Lol
  13. bronca's avatar
    I'm glad I cancelled my subscription back in Jan. At this pace I don't see any reason to resume it
  14. bra's avatar
    Thank christ I cancelled mine at crimbo there absolutely robbery that you HAVE to pay at least 60 quid to even play online whether you like it or not
  15. og87's avatar
    Wow this is a shocker. 
  16. ryan.seary's avatar
    Soo happy mine is canceled, I can avoid monthly disappointment
  17. KPNut42's avatar
    So you are basically paying £60 for cloud storage and online pay, If you only play 6 of the 36 games plus that are offered each year, that's £10 a game. I really don't understand all the moaning, The last few months we have had Sifu, F1 2023. NFS Unbound, Saints Row, Plagues Tale Requiem..... . If this month is then no problem. Its only £5 a month.

    It's frustrating how PC players enjoy free online play while PlayStation users have to shell out extra cash for the same service. It seems unfair and outdated, especially considering the substantial investment already made in purchasing the console and games.
  18. James_Turkish's avatar
    Boggles the mind how this has so much heat ?? I've got ps plus and game pass, so end up with a lot of repeated games between systems
  19. GoatboyJones's avatar
    Those without a ps5 getting stiffed this month, oof
    kadooosh's avatar
    It's been out 3 years now, they need to be doing only ps5 titles

    Skul looks alright. Reviewed well. Not my cuppa tea, but hey ho.
  25. sibeer's avatar
    Immortals looks good to me, didn’t pay for it though as all EA games devalue quickly.
  26. joedix88's avatar
    Skul looks great but this is definitely a rough month.
  27. 5Rivers79's avatar
    Been looking out for a good deal on plus since new year! Lol
    RickyD's avatar
    Same. I'm not paying £60 for Essential. It's not worth it. Especially when I've got other subs.

    I do not get the hate for this selection at all. They are all 70%-ish on Metacritic.

    I'm interested to try all three and I don't own any of them already so from me.

    This is not Game Pass and we are not going to get AAA games every month.

    I've subbed to PS Plus since about 2013 and there have been far, far worse months than this!
    heavywater's avatar
    If it's not three 90+ metacritic AAA releases from the last two months, people will say it's not worth £6.

    Then ask them what games they'd actually want on there any they'll either avoid the question or name some absolute garbage. It's the HUKD way.

    Raised the prices to bring us this

    Always interesting reading some of the comments.
    Usually a third hate the games, a third are good with it and a third are indifferent.
    I also have no doubt that even if there were 3 flagship titles some people would still complain.

    My view at this point is if there is at least 1 game I would like to try but would not want to buy it's a decent month and Immortals of Aveum is a good example. I think every quarter there are at least 1 or 2 games I play and enjoy and that's enough to justify the cost of subscription.

    I honestly don't understand people's negativity towards PS Plus. Some people seem to treat it as if subscribing means you are only allowed to play the games it offers, so if they don't give you three AAA games a month, it's a terrible disaster.

    But surely the whole point of the service is that these games *complement* the main, 'bigger' games that you buy normally? I don't expect, or even really want, lots of mainstream AAA games from PS Plus - I *want* smaller/less well-known games that I probably wouldn't otherwise try.

    So, in recent months, I've played (and enjoyed) Steelrising, Evil West, A Plague Tale and various others *in between* games like Alan Wake 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 that, of course, you have to pay for.

    This month, I'll definitely try out Immortals of Aveum and maybe Skul - maybe they'll be fun, maybe not, but if not, so what? I'll just move on to the regular games I buy. How can anyone complain about this for, what, a fiver a month? The cost of about a pint? (edited)

    The problem I have with it is you need it to play online games. Imagine if phone manufacturers imposed a fee to play multiplayer games online, how would that go down? Why should I pay Sony to play third party games online when the servers aren't run by them? I've paid for the game and my broadband already. Sony really should bring out a cheap base level for people who only want to play online without any free monthly games, I still wouldn't think it's fair but I'd be more willing to pay that than how it is at the moment.

    Not a good month.
  40. leighdegree's avatar
    4 months in, I don't think I've had anything from the free games this year. Don't think I've had anything from extra either. Anyone else the same?
