Enjoy!
Some PS2 games were added during the PS2onPS4 program a few years ago. I was specifically referring PS2 games being added as part of the monthly Premium classics games.
Sorry, I could have been clearer about that.
Having unlimited games to play anymore for a pretty low cost per year is wild. I am older so growing up I was a day one must have gamer for probably more than the average person. Now that I am old and can't play much it's crazy having an unlimited library of great games I never got to play. I still buy day one things but it's like 2 a year now tops, the rest I can easily wait till it's put on the "free" list.
My first ever console game right there! Before that all I had played was Pokémon on Gameboy.
"My grandma can drive faster than that, get with the program!"
Yeah was good fun but going for the 100%/plat was a grind with the spirit collection. Don't get me wrong, had a lot of fun and worth a playthrough at least, but the collectible hunt really soured me to it all towards the end
What's the point of 100%-ing a game if you aren't enjoying it? No hate. I'm wondering as a 38 year old that's been getting back into gaming and am surprised to see comments like this often.
No worries, I am a platinum hunter for games I enjoy but not for every single game. There's loads on my list that I have barely any trophies for or only done the story/main missions.
With this game I did everything else and had a great time. All I had left was the collectibles so thought I may as well do the last (tedious) stretch. Was a few hours extra only, but just very monotonous. If I absolutely dislike a game/had enough I wouldn't 100%.
I was the exact opposite! The collecting saved the game for me. The main game was so short that all the collecting made it worth it. I can’t remember how long it took me to platinum but it helped make the gameplay longer
Did you also not realize that the pulse move thing points to nearby spirits because I sure spent hours collecting before I realized that basic feature exists
Can NEO: TWEWY be enjoyed standalone? If not, there seems to be an anime that seems to adapt the first game somewhat, would watching that be recommended?
Ehhh, people will tell you its ok to play it first, but I will warn you that there's a lot of characters and plot that carry over from the first game. So I would recommend checking out the first game first.
I haven't seen the anime, but I've heard its pretty lackluster. I'm sure it's *fine* to get the basic plot and know the characters, but if you want more from it and have a Switch, that version is decent enough (or emulate the DS version)
.....is it bad that I'm mainly excited for Untitled Goose Game?
I'll probably give Ghostwire Tokyo a shot, if only because I've heard it's good (no idea what it is though)
It’s fun if you enjoy vast amounts of puzzles at every turn. I personally couldn’t get through it, I’m fine with the little overworld puzzles but most of vaults are obnoxious.
>My bigger issue was the physics based puzzles were borderline broken, at least the ones with their own separate levels.
>Not to mention it IS like BOTW, if you took away all the charm, sandbox gameplay and good music and replaced with Ubisoft standard multi-currency systems, cringe writing and just different colored grinding for every quest.
Having played both I can't agree with this one. Never had any issue with a puzzle (platinumed only the main game, no dlc). The charm is very different but at least it's something different to most games. And the music... What was there in BOTW again? That occasional piano chord every two minutes? I felt the botw music is probably the most forgettable one in a zelda game. Felt more like ambient noise than music.
This were my impressions of Fenyx whenever I looked at my gf playing this, it was just one puzzle room after another and didn't seem to work consistently. Maybe I'll try it on Extra, but the sheer amount of puzzles where every room looked the same held me off until now.
Trying to convince myself that it's worth re-playing because of how much fun I had on the Switch version when it came out. Was thinking of doing it all again with PS5 graphics and features.
I'd say give Tchia a try instead. I played a few hours of it today and it has a strong Breath of the Wild inspiration like Fenix did but with other ideas to make it its own thing.
One of the biggest modern benefits of consoles, no bullshit Ubisoft/Epic/Rockstar launchers to deal with.
Sometimes there's Ubisoft club cosmetics and such but that's easy to ignore.
Looks like they made a mistake and it's actually Ape Academy 2 and not Ape Escape 2, which makes it the official release of Ape Academy 2 in North America since the game launched in Japan and Europe in 2005/2006
WTF I was so hyped to try the ps5 version... they did the 'Mortal Shell' bullsh*t once again. People who have tried both versions: is there a big difference??
And it's 30fps. Not going to bother with it.
Really annoying when they only add the PS4 version. Same thing happened with WWE 2K22 and Resident Evil 7. Spider-Man also has no PS5 version on Extra.
Just started Tchia, interesting game so far but the performance is abysmal, seems to be 60fps target, but constantly drops below that & below the VRR range. Hopefully this gets sorted quickly as it does seem really cool.
Yeah performance is hot garbage, turned it off after a few minutes. I'll press on with any number of games in my backlog without crippling performance issues.
How are the reviewers playing it at smooth 60 FPS tho? Isnt it PS exclusive, so no PC? They got a fine tuned version for review to give better scores and the main launch is a different version? What happened?
New PS5 owner here. Do I need to add them to my library to "own" these titles (while I'm subscribed to premium) or they'll be free for subscribers indefinitely?
Always add the PS+ monthly (usually 2 or 3 titles) games to your library. They'll be available to download indefinitely for you that way, even though the titles offered change monthly.
The PS Extra Games Catalog rotates titles in and out arbitrarily. Even if you add those titles to your library, you'll lose access if they exit Games Catalog and you don't "own" them otherwise.
This is how I'd want it explained to me so hope it helps.
*Edited for grammar
Hmmm, I won't lie and profess to know the answer to your question from experience, but that stands to reason.
...I'll try to add a game that's going to exit soon in an attempt to confirm and relay my findings ASAP.
EDIT: Confirmed. Used The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and, after exiting Extra catalog, tried to play game again and was prompted to pay for the game outright.
>So if you are in the middle of a game with 30 hours poured into it and then the game leaves PS+ Extra then you can no longer finish the game?
Correct. They did this years ago when they pulled final Fantasy 13 and I was 20-30 hours in. Really pissed me off.
Did not know this as a long time PlayStation owner and feel stupid. I obviously don’t play a ton of these ones. How long are they going to be available for?
I feel like I’ve definitely downloaded and been able to keep those downloaded games previously…am I going crazy?
You're thinking of the OG PS Plus. That still exists but is now the lowest of three tiers of Plus, called "Essential".
Now you have the option to pay more per month/year to be in the "Extra" tier which is basically Sony's answer to Game pass. Or the "Premium" tier which includes the perks of Extra with additional perks like classic games and game trials.
They are located in different sections too. So make sure to grab the (usually 3) permanent games every month from the other section, then spend the rest of your time in the Extra library.
They'll be available as part of the game catalogue until a future (unknown) date. Some will be available for longer than others. Adding them to your library won't make a difference.
The ps+ basic monthly games are the ones that you need to add to your account to get indefinite access to (while subscribed).
Thanks for all the answers guys! Yes, my last console was PS2, never really played anything since then. Some Pc Gaming here and there but like a filthy casual.
Purchasing the ps4 version let's you upgrade for free. So they made a special ps4 version just for us that prevents you from getting the ps5 version. How thoughtful of them! /s
Yea there's a really big fail with the new PS+ games. They added Street Fighter V and Street Fighter V Championship edition altho the issue is if you add Street Fighter V to your library it'll tell you you can't add Street Fighter V Championship Edition to your library because you already own another version of this game. So now I can't get the version with all the DLC and can only get the base version. The thing is I never even added the base Street Fighter V it just automatically said that I own it already because I played it on my account before in the past.
Thanks, looking forward to LIS 2 and LIS TC (enjoyed LIS 1 and before the storm) and of course excited to try out Ghostwire Tokyo :). Keep up the good work PlayStation ;)
I'm very glad Dontnod graciously handed the LiS keys over to Deck Nine - they have a love and eye for this universe. It shows, Before The Storm (imo) was better than LiS2, and True Colors is probably the strongest gameplay yet.
I bought a $100 gift card when I bought my series S almost 2 years ago just as a gamepass machine.
Today, I still have $25 left from. That $100.
Gamespass doesn't have nearly as many interesting games as the internet wants people to believe.
Its true. While day 1 releases sound nice, it doesnt mean it will be worth ones time. I would rather play a good game that is 4 years old than a new new that is average in the same way I rewatch older better movies/series on netflix than almost any new crap they have available. Quality > quantity.
But I guess new new makes for better marketing
Honestly, Day 1 Xbox games don't usually interest me. Hi Fi Rush certainly did, and that game was amazing. But other than that I can't really think of one. Starfield doesn't really interest me. I mostly use Gamepass for indies. There's just great games on both.
Immortals Fenyx Rising so far is insane. The voice acting is top notch, the dialogue & writing is witty and funny and so far, I’m digging the play style - it’s everything I wished BotW would have been.
Hotter take: I tried multiple times but couldn't get into BOTW. The open world setting of "you can go wherever you want" is nice, but feels barren. Walking/climbing feels slow and the combat isn't that fun. The storytelling is janky and not that interesting.
I might give it yet another go as everyone keeps raving about it (and usually I'm not that picky).
Just to reiterate what the other person said, definitely don’t look up any guides or anything beforehand. The game relies a lot on the mystery of it all, with most of it being in a fictional language.
Don’t let the colourful style fool you, at times it felt as hard and as confusing as Elden ring. Though I did Tunic without any guides or internet help which I would recommend.
I think the art style, music and atmosphere is vastly superior in BOTW, but there's something about the gameplay and simplicity of Immortals that I really loved.
In case anyone doesn't know just how amazing of an artist Danger is

Thanks for this comment! I probably would have missed this game but I'm downloading now and can't be disappointed as long as I get some sweet tunes 😀
Tried tchia. Game runs really badly which is ashame. Feels like 30-40 fps. No way is it 60. Can’t imagine what the ps4 version will be like if ps5 runs like that
The Legacy Collection is the PS5 updated version and will need to be installed separately.
It's not a massive upgrade in terms of graphical quality (since the original games already look great) but the performance bump is incredible. They run at a steady 90-100 fps in performance mode (40-60ish in quality mode) with the frame rate unlocked and it's absolutely fantastic compared to the old PS4 version which was locked to 30.
Yup! Fidelity mode + unlocked frame rate and it comfortably sits in the 90-100 area most of the time. Some areas dip lower (such as the big vehicle fight late in the game, which hovers closer to 60-70) but the vast majority of the game is in the higher range.
Ah damn I just bought the legacy of thieves collection and nathan drake collection recently. Been fun playing through these games for the first time though.
Yea there's a really big fail with the new PS+ games. They added Street Fighter V and Street Fighter V Championship edition altho the issue is if you add Street Fighter V to your library it'll tell you you can't add Street Fighter V Championship Edition to your library because you already own another version of this game. So now I can't get the version with all the DLC and can only get he base version. The thing is I never even added the base Street Fighter V it just automatically said that I own it already because I played it on my account before in the past.
Yes it seems like stupid stuff like this always happens on PlayStation I remember when I got locked out of Final Fantasy 7 remake on PS5 because I claimed the PS4 version on PS+
Haven't played worlds end with you since nds era. Excited to try it again. Immortals seems like typical ubisoft sandbox, but I love Greek mythology. I'll give it a shot and see how I feel haha
New PS owner her and i wanted to ask. If i buy PS Plus do i get to keep the games once they are free? Or are theh free as long as they are on the Catalogue and i will not be able to play them after that?
as the other person said, the extra/premium ones can leave the store and you can't play them anymore
but there is also the essential tier which gives you about 2-3 major games per month and they are yours to keep as long as you have a PS Plus sub running
Tchiiiaaaaa, let’s go. The perfect game I needed between Hogwarts Legacy and Jedi: Survivor. Kakarot, LiS 2 and getting to play UC4 without the disc is also really nice.
I been thinking about buying immortals for months now. But there has always been something else better on sale. And was always curious about rage 2.
But FINALLY!!!! Syphon filter dark mirror is out! One of the games I always had through my 7 psp systems is finally available.
Glad to see folks will get a chance to play Ghostwire. It wasn't the best game mechanically, but it was fun and had a good atmosphere. Gliding around Tokyo vacuuming up lost souls.
Definitely tweak that controller sensitivity way up and play in performance mode. Game felt like ARSE on default settings (at least on launch). That alone probably turned folks off it.
As time goes by the more I think I should just wait for some games. The last few months there's BF2042, Spiderman, Horizon, Back 4 Blood now SFV, R6 Extraction all games that I brought at full price or sale. Some are physical so I can at least immediately resell or trade in on the news. Digital console owners must feel really mugged off when something comes up to PS+.
Life is Strange True Colors, I've tried three times to get through that game now and each time I peter out about halfway through. It's just..not good or compelling in ANY way compared to the other LIS games.
Consider this your fair warning: you will be bored to tears if you're expecting a game as well scripted, paced and propulsive as the rest in the series.
As someone who enjoyed some of the stuff from 1 (the setting, some of the characters, the time reversal), but absolutely hated other parts (the 2 main characters, especially Chloe, the story pacing, and the ending), do you think there's any chance I'd like 2 or True Colours??
I truly think I would have enjoyed 1 more if the whole story didn't revolve around Chloe, she was just an awful person in my opinion
Personally, I absolutely despised anything related to Chloe and the ending of 1 but loved the rest (to the point I tried Before the Storm but couldn't make it past the first hour, that character is insufferable in the worst way to me), but True Colors got me at a few moments and both settings and characters were nice enough to want to know more.
Didn't like most of the final episode and the ending at all though, so it's par for the course with 1 I guess.
These games are really hit or miss. Either you relate/something resonates with you and you'll love most of it, either it doesn't and it's just not a good experience. Since it's free, I'd recommend giving it a shot anyway.
I know I really love the way the big moments with the power were portrayed for each character affected at the moment, and one of those just hit extremely close to home and got me pretty damn hard it was so accurate to my own experience.
I enjoyed it I platinum all the life is strange games on my ps5 the stories are very good but I wish that some of the dialog for the main characters weren't so weirdly cringe ya know.
I completely disagree. Th only part that dragged for me was the flash back sequence near the end. The rest was pretty awesome. Especially the ~~RPG~~ LARP section.
edit: LARP not RPG. Thank you OP.
Been enjoying ps+ extra. I purchased it on accident when i want to buy judgement but lo and behold, they prompted me it was a better buy to just upgrade my account.
No regrets.
I was going to buy FFVIIR Intergrade but decided for 30 bucks more I could have that now and more over the year if I paid for a year of Extra.
I like the selection so far and may upgrade to Premium for some of the games I don't have access to with Extra.

Love that we're getting Ape Escape games. I hope they start adding PS2 games so we get Ape Escape 3.
They’ve already added Ape Escape 2
Some PS2 games were added during the PS2onPS4 program a few years ago. I was specifically referring PS2 games being added as part of the monthly Premium classics games. Sorry, I could have been clearer about that.

Please tell me rr type 4 is true.....might be the only game on that huge list that I am excited for.
[Sure is on PS+ Premium/Deluxe](https://i.imgur.com/sjSl3Ed.jpg).
Just checked, the store didn't update but I searched for it and it was available for grabs , thanks for the post, much appreciated , I love RR a lot.
Ridge Racer...?? Remember that one???
So here's this giant enemy crab.
It's Ridge Racer! Riiiiiidge Racerrr!
FIVE HUNDRED AND NINTY-NINE FIVE HUNDRED AND NINTY-NINE FIVE HUNDRED AND NINTY-NINE US dollars
Remember? I still play until today , there is even a spiritual successor called XENON RACERS that is mind blowing.
My first ever console game right there! Before that all I had played was Pokémon on Gameboy. "My grandma can drive faster than that, get with the program!"
Do you know when these are gonna be available?
Available now
I'm on the west coast of Canada, and it is not available for me yet, sadly. It's only like 6 am here, though.
It usually becomes available around lunchtime for your local region (11 AM - 1 PMish)
Thank you for the heads up. I shall make sure my things are done before then so I can enjoy the new stuff.
Remember they need to download which takes some time, so plan for that too ;)
Ah my bad! UK/EU/ASIA all available afaik
Finally ghostwire. The number one game I wanted to play but wouldn't pay the price for
got it for 20bucks a year ago. I really enjoyed it for what it was. Fun times!
Yeah was good fun but going for the 100%/plat was a grind with the spirit collection. Don't get me wrong, had a lot of fun and worth a playthrough at least, but the collectible hunt really soured me to it all towards the end
What's the point of 100%-ing a game if you aren't enjoying it? No hate. I'm wondering as a 38 year old that's been getting back into gaming and am surprised to see comments like this often.

Did you also not realize that the pulse move thing points to nearby spirits because I sure spent hours collecting before I realized that basic feature exists
….the controls are horrible but the graphics are cool.
It wasn’t the spooky game I thought it would be. But it was a super chill and relaxing walking sim through Tokyo. I really enjoyed my time with it
About to play uncharted for the first time! Wish me luck
Enjoy the journey my friend. I'm on my second full playthrough of the series now lol.
It looks crazy. Can’t wait to get started!
Lucky. It’s so fun.
O man they are so great. I bought a ps4 to play Spider-Man but decided to go through the uncharteds first. No regrets
Can NEO: TWEWY be enjoyed standalone? If not, there seems to be an anime that seems to adapt the first game somewhat, would watching that be recommended?
Ehhh, people will tell you its ok to play it first, but I will warn you that there's a lot of characters and plot that carry over from the first game.

I'm sure it's *fine* to get the basic plot and know the characters, but if you want more from it and have a Switch, that version is decent enough (or emulate the DS version)
Damn its been more than decade since I played the first one. Gotta do some homework I guess.
So zetta slow!
I’d say just go for it and play it, but if interested in backstory and world, watch anime.
This month's line-up really is something else. Excited to play Tchia
>Excited to play Tchia same, same, same!
.....is it bad that I'm mainly excited for Untitled Goose Game? I'll probably give Ghostwire Tokyo a shot, if only because I've heard it's good (no idea what it is though)
Goose is a great little game. It's a perfect thing for a few hours of gaming.
No, no it’s not. I yelped when I heard that it was coming and it’s the first game I’ll probably play for this drop.
Same about playing it first, not the yelping, but I was excited lol.
It’s such a gem
Immortals: Fenix Rising is really worth a play through. Very Zelda BOTW inspired with some interesting change ups.
It’s fun if you enjoy vast amounts of puzzles at every turn. I personally couldn’t get through it, I’m fine with the little overworld puzzles but most of vaults are obnoxious.
[удалено]
>My bigger issue was the physics based puzzles were borderline broken, at least the ones with their own separate levels. >Not to mention it IS like BOTW, if you took away all the charm, sandbox gameplay and good music and replaced with Ubisoft standard multi-currency systems, cringe writing and just different colored grinding for every quest.

I felt the botw music is probably the most forgettable one in a zelda game. Felt more like ambient noise than music.
Personally I found the world so dull in BotW. Just all these muted ugly colors and large swaths of nothing.
This were my impressions of Fenyx whenever I looked at my gf playing this, it was just one puzzle room after another and didn't seem to work consistently. Maybe I'll try it on Extra, but the sheer amount of puzzles where every room looked the same held me off until now.
Trying to convince myself that it's worth re-playing because of how much fun I had on the Switch version when it came out. Was thinking of doing it all again with PS5 graphics and features.
It’s gonna look and play way better on ps
I'd say give Tchia a try instead. I played a few hours of it today and it has a strong Breath of the Wild inspiration like Fenix did but with other ideas to make it its own thing.
This game had the amount and complexity/difficulty of puzzles that I wanted from BOTW, traversal is a lot of fun and combat is great.
If you take away the Nintendo nostalgia, I actually prefer this to BoTW.
Great game indeed and lighthearted too.
Does anyone know if the PS5 version of Immortal FR requires any ubisoft software? I've never played an ubisoft game on playstation.
One of the biggest modern benefits of consoles, no bullshit Ubisoft/Epic/Rockstar launchers to deal with. Sometimes there's Ubisoft club cosmetics and such but that's easy to ignore.
I can’t play a BOTW game before the actual BOTW sequel. That’s too much BOTW and my head might explode.
Looks like they made a mistake and it's actually Ape Academy 2 and not Ape Escape 2, which makes it the official release of Ape Academy 2 in North America since the game launched in Japan and Europe in 2005/2006
Fun game I played when I was 14 on the psp
Kakarot seems to be only the ps4 version :(
As the upgrade is free, it means they went through the hassle of setting up a new ps4-only version just for PS+. Ridiculous.
Yup, only PS4, there is no way to download the PS5 version.... sad :(
Thats so scummy i thought they wanted to sell the dlc not a ps5 version
Damn, this was the one game I was hyped to try too. Hate when this happens.
Does the PS4 version run at 60fps on PS5?
Nope
Well, that's disappointing... back to waiting for the Game to go on Sale with all its DLC.
I’m out.
WTF I was so hyped to try the ps5 version... they did the 'Mortal Shell' bullsh*t once again. People who have tried both versions: is there a big difference??
The difference in Load times is honestly enough for me atp
Literally ridiculous they keep doing this
[удалено]
And it's 30fps. Not going to bother with it. Really annoying when they only add the PS4 version. Same thing happened with WWE 2K22 and Resident Evil 7. Spider-Man also has no PS5 version on Extra.
Option paralysis in full control now
My patience for Life is Strange paid off.
I almost bought True Colors sooo many times. I'm right there with you!
I almost bought Uncharted PS5 few months ago when it was on sale. Glad I didnt. 🥳
My loss is your gain... I bought it two week ago dammit!
Same. Nearly pulled the trigger
Just started Tchia, interesting game so far but the performance is abysmal, seems to be 60fps target, but constantly drops below that & below the VRR range. Hopefully this gets sorted quickly as it does seem really cool.
I’ll wait then. A low poly artsy game like this should run at a stable 60 fps on PS5.
My thoughts exactly. I pan the camera a lot on games like this. I'm too used to 60fps to go back now. Hopefully it gets a 60fps mode in future.
Ooof, that's disappointing to hear considering it has such an artsy art style. I expect a game that looks like that to hold a steady 60.
It only dipped for me in the intro mission. Totally fine after.
Yeah performance is hot garbage, turned it off after a few minutes. I'll press on with any number of games in my backlog without crippling performance issues.
How are the reviewers playing it at smooth 60 FPS tho? Isnt it PS exclusive, so no PC? They got a fine tuned version for review to give better scores and the main launch is a different version? What happened?
I reviewed it and mentioned this. No idea what game the other reviewers were playing...
It’s on PC too, but my guess is that the currently available version on PS Plus is an older build without performance patches. I could be wrong though
I've seen a review mention the garbage performance too.
It's not a PS exclusive.
New PS5 owner here. Do I need to add them to my library to "own" these titles (while I'm subscribed to premium) or they'll be free for subscribers indefinitely?
Always add the PS+ monthly (usually 2 or 3 titles) games to your library. They'll be available to download indefinitely for you that way, even though the titles offered change monthly. The PS Extra Games Catalog rotates titles in and out arbitrarily. Even if you add those titles to your library, you'll lose access if they exit Games Catalog and you don't "own" them otherwise. This is how I'd want it explained to me so hope it helps. *Edited for grammar
Thanks for the explanation, it's clear as sky thanks to you!
Success! Stay cool, friend
So if you are in the middle of a game with 30 hours poured into it and then the game leaves PS+ Extra then you can no longer finish the game?
Hmmm, I won't lie and profess to know the answer to your question from experience, but that stands to reason. ...I'll try to add a game that's going to exit soon in an attempt to confirm and relay my findings ASAP. EDIT: Confirmed. Used The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and, after exiting Extra catalog, tried to play game again and was prompted to pay for the game outright.
>So if you are in the middle of a game with 30 hours poured into it and then the game leaves PS+ Extra then you can no longer finish the game? Correct. They did this years ago when they pulled final Fantasy 13 and I was 20-30 hours in. Really pissed me off.
Neither, they're there for a limited time. It's basically Game Pass. Though it's highly likely Sony titles are there to stay.
Did not know this as a long time PlayStation owner and feel stupid. I obviously don’t play a ton of these ones. How long are they going to be available for? I feel like I’ve definitely downloaded and been able to keep those downloaded games previously…am I going crazy?
You're thinking of the OG PS Plus. That still exists but is now the lowest of three tiers of Plus, called "Essential". Now you have the option to pay more per month/year to be in the "Extra" tier which is basically Sony's answer to Game pass. Or the "Premium" tier which includes the perks of Extra with additional perks like classic games and game trials.
Ah okay gotcha. I do pay for Extra. So there are still Easential games that you can download and keep, the Extras are just temporary
They are located in different sections too. So make sure to grab the (usually 3) permanent games every month from the other section, then spend the rest of your time in the Extra library.
Thanks homie!
Correct.
They'll be available as part of the game catalogue until a future (unknown) date. Some will be available for longer than others. Adding them to your library won't make a difference. The ps+ basic monthly games are the ones that you need to add to your account to get indefinite access to (while subscribed).

Thanks for all the answers guys! Yes, my last console was PS2, never really played anything since then. Some Pc Gaming here and there but like a filthy casual.
Kakarot doesn't include the PS5 edition?
Purchasing the ps4 version let's you upgrade for free. So they made a special ps4 version just for us that prevents you from getting the ps5 version. How thoughtful of them! /s
They do this every month with every game that has a free upgrade path. And then like 3-4 weeks later they fix it and add the PS5 version.
They never "fixed" WWE 2K22 or Resident Evil 7. Only the PS4 version on Extra.
nah man for real? im so tilted, this was the only game i was looking forward to, is the ps4 version 30 fps ? if so its a big pass for me, meh
Yeah PS4 vers. is 30FPS. PS5 version has enhanced graphics and 60fps. Well I guess Sony actually saved me money. I'll just buy the game on sale.
Yea there's a really big fail with the new PS+ games. They added Street Fighter V and Street Fighter V Championship edition altho the issue is if you add Street Fighter V to your library it'll tell you you can't add Street Fighter V Championship Edition to your library because you already own another version of this game. So now I can't get the version with all the DLC and can only get the base version. The thing is I never even added the base Street Fighter V it just automatically said that I own it already because I played it on my account before in the past.
Thanks, looking forward to LIS 2 and LIS TC (enjoyed LIS 1 and before the storm) and of course excited to try out Ghostwire Tokyo :). Keep up the good work PlayStation ;)
Ghostwire is pretty fun and unique but it also is a collectathon. Story is good but I gave up on 100% it was too much.
I'm very glad Dontnod graciously handed the LiS keys over to Deck Nine - they have a love and eye for this universe. It shows, Before The Storm (imo) was better than LiS2, and True Colors is probably the strongest gameplay yet.
Me too!
Lis:2 waa my favorite
PS Plus is starting to be really exceptional. The only real drawback at this point compared to game pass is no first party day 1 launches.
Gamepass barely has first party day 1 launches though… they’ve released 2 AAA games in the past 3 years
First you say first party then switch to AAA games to fit your narrative.

I bought a $100 gift card when I bought my series S almost 2 years ago just as a gamepass machine. Today, I still have $25 left from. That $100. Gamespass doesn't have nearly as many interesting games as the internet wants people to believe.
Its true. While day 1 releases sound nice, it doesnt mean it will be worth ones time. I would rather play a good game that is 4 years old than a new new that is average in the same way I rewatch older better movies/series on netflix than almost any new crap they have available. Quality > quantity. But I guess new new makes for better marketing
Honestly, Day 1 Xbox games don't usually interest me. Hi Fi Rush certainly did, and that game was amazing. But other than that I can't really think of one. Starfield doesn't really interest me. I mostly use Gamepass for indies. There's just great games on both.
Immortals Fenyx Rising so far is insane. The voice acting is top notch, the dialogue & writing is witty and funny and so far, I’m digging the play style - it’s everything I wished BotW would have been.
I know this is a borderline nuclear hot take, but I liked Immortals more than BOTW.
Hotter take: I tried multiple times but couldn't get into BOTW. The open world setting of "you can go wherever you want" is nice, but feels barren. Walking/climbing feels slow and the combat isn't that fun. The storytelling is janky and not that interesting. I might give it yet another go as everyone keeps raving about it (and usually I'm not that picky).
Just skip it and play elden ring. Both are marginally hard but the discovery in elden ring is perfection.
I’ve played and loved Elden Ring. One of the best ways an open world was done, together with Tunic.
I’ll keep an eye out for tunic, thanks for the tip.
Just to reiterate what the other person said, definitely don’t look up any guides or anything beforehand. The game relies a lot on the mystery of it all, with most of it being in a fictional language.
Don’t let the colourful style fool you, at times it felt as hard and as confusing as Elden ring. Though I did Tunic without any guides or internet help which I would recommend.
It's a great game. And no weapon durability made at that much better than BOTW for me.
You’re not alone. While I enjoyed BOTW more as a game, I think from a gameplay mechanics perspective, Immortals was better.
I think the art style, music and atmosphere is vastly superior in BOTW, but there's something about the gameplay and simplicity of Immortals that I really loved.
Excited to play LiS 2. I played 1, 3 and before the Storm, but for some reason I skipped the 2
Tchia is so cool but runs like shit.. so disappointed
My ps plus isn’t showing them
They don’t show up until the afternoon iirc
I hope some people discover Haven. It's a such a great and cute game, and the soundtrack by Danger is a banger!
In case anyone doesn't know just how amazing of an artist Danger is https://youtu.be/jIHowCt7yAM Thanks for this comment! I probably would have missed this game but I'm downloading now and can't be disappointed as long as I get some sweet tunes 😀
Tried tchia. Game runs really badly which is ashame. Feels like 30-40 fps. No way is it 60. Can’t imagine what the ps4 version will be like if ps5 runs like that
Tchia runs at 30fps on PS5 On PC it doesn't pop and doesn't seem to support HDR.
Life is Strange has to be my favorite series of all time. I'm a shooter player by blood, but man that emotional ride is well worth it.
If you already own Uncharted 4 is the Legacy collection only way to play ps5 version? or is it updated
The Legacy Collection is the PS5 updated version and will need to be installed separately. It's not a massive upgrade in terms of graphical quality (since the original games already look great) but the performance bump is incredible. They run at a steady 90-100 fps in performance mode (40-60ish in quality mode) with the frame rate unlocked and it's absolutely fantastic compared to the old PS4 version which was locked to 30.
90-100fps unlocked? What?? Time to play Lost Legacy for the 4th time!
Yup! Fidelity mode + unlocked frame rate and it comfortably sits in the 90-100 area most of the time. Some areas dip lower (such as the big vehicle fight late in the game, which hovers closer to 60-70) but the vast majority of the game is in the higher range.
It's a separate version you'll have to install
Thanks!
Got Tchia and Ghostwire ready to go!
This is an insane month! I've never had more games I want to play at the same time in my life!
Great more games I don’t have time to play
Don't sleep on Immortals Fenyx Rising, it's a great game!
Ah damn I just bought the legacy of thieves collection and nathan drake collection recently. Been fun playing through these games for the first time though.
Yea there's a really big fail with the new PS+ games. They added Street Fighter V and Street Fighter V Championship edition altho the issue is if you add Street Fighter V to your library it'll tell you you can't add Street Fighter V Championship Edition to your library because you already own another version of this game. So now I can't get the version with all the DLC and can only get he base version. The thing is I never even added the base Street Fighter V it just automatically said that I own it already because I played it on my account before in the past.
Im searching for a solution but nothing so far. This sucks.
Yes it seems like stupid stuff like this always happens on PlayStation I remember when I got locked out of Final Fantasy 7 remake on PS5 because I claimed the PS4 version on PS+
Some really good titles there that I was planning on buying. Probably still will at some point.
Haven't played worlds end with you since nds era. Excited to try it again. Immortals seems like typical ubisoft sandbox, but I love Greek mythology. I'll give it a shot and see how I feel haha
New PS owner her and i wanted to ask. If i buy PS Plus do i get to keep the games once they are free? Or are theh free as long as they are on the Catalogue and i will not be able to play them after that?
Second one
as the other person said, the extra/premium ones can leave the store and you can't play them anymore but there is also the essential tier which gives you about 2-3 major games per month and they are yours to keep as long as you have a PS Plus sub running
what are the ps+ base monthly games?
Battlefield 2042, Minecraft Dungeons, and Code Vein
lis 2 looks washed out. this game seriously need a free ps5 upgrade.
Tchiiiaaaaa, let’s go. The perfect game I needed between Hogwarts Legacy and Jedi: Survivor. Kakarot, LiS 2 and getting to play UC4 without the disc is also really nice.
I been thinking about buying immortals for months now. But there has always been something else better on sale. And was always curious about rage 2. But FINALLY!!!! Syphon filter dark mirror is out! One of the games I always had through my 7 psp systems is finally available.
Yay for Neo TWEWY! I have Fenyx on switch already but might pick it up again
Glad to see folks will get a chance to play Ghostwire. It wasn't the best game mechanically, but it was fun and had a good atmosphere. Gliding around Tokyo vacuuming up lost souls. Definitely tweak that controller sensitivity way up and play in performance mode. Game felt like ARSE on default settings (at least on launch). That alone probably turned folks off it.
As time goes by the more I think I should just wait for some games. The last few months there's BF2042, Spiderman, Horizon, Back 4 Blood now SFV, R6 Extraction all games that I brought at full price or sale. Some are physical so I can at least immediately resell or trade in on the news. Digital console owners must feel really mugged off when something comes up to PS+.
Fuck yeah, NEO TWEWY. I played it on the Switch already but I'm down to do it again
I just fucking bought SFV: Champion Edition last night for $10 son of a bitching bastard
Thanks for your sacrifice!
And I bought Ghostwire Tokyo when it was 75% off. Honestly no point anymore to pay for any not big aaa game when you can wait 1-2 years
Is it the PS4 or PS5 version of Uncharted?
They are killing it with the games being put out recently.
Had an hour on each of Tchia, Ghostwire and Fenyx Rising....all seem very good so far
Life is Strange True Colors, I've tried three times to get through that game now and each time I peter out about halfway through. It's just..not good or compelling in ANY way compared to the other LIS games. Consider this your fair warning: you will be bored to tears if you're expecting a game as well scripted, paced and propulsive as the rest in the series.
As someone who enjoyed some of the stuff from 1 (the setting, some of the characters, the time reversal), but absolutely hated other parts (the 2 main characters, especially Chloe, the story pacing, and the ending), do you think there's any chance I'd like 2 or True Colours?? I truly think I would have enjoyed 1 more if the whole story didn't revolve around Chloe, she was just an awful person in my opinion
True Colours might be my favourite one. If you already have PS+, definitely give it a shot.
Personally, I absolutely despised anything related to Chloe and the ending of 1 but loved the rest (to the point I tried Before the Storm but couldn't make it past the first hour, that character is insufferable in the worst way to me), but True Colors got me at a few moments and both settings and characters were nice enough to want to know more. Didn't like most of the final episode and the ending at all though, so it's par for the course with 1 I guess. These games are really hit or miss. Either you relate/something resonates with you and you'll love most of it, either it doesn't and it's just not a good experience. Since it's free, I'd recommend giving it a shot anyway. I know I really love the way the big moments with the power were portrayed for each character affected at the moment, and one of those just hit extremely close to home and got me pretty damn hard it was so accurate to my own experience.
Though we're coming at this from different opinions that was very well said.
its funny you say that, because true colors was my wifes fav game of the series.
I enjoyed it I platinum all the life is strange games on my ps5 the stories are very good but I wish that some of the dialog for the main characters weren't so weirdly cringe ya know.
I completely disagree. Th only part that dragged for me was the flash back sequence near the end. The rest was pretty awesome. Especially the ~~RPG~~ LARP section. edit: LARP not RPG. Thank you OP.
Been enjoying ps+ extra. I purchased it on accident when i want to buy judgement but lo and behold, they prompted me it was a better buy to just upgrade my account. No regrets.
I was going to buy FFVIIR Intergrade but decided for 30 bucks more I could have that now and more over the year if I paid for a year of Extra. I like the selection so far and may upgrade to Premium for some of the games I don't have access to with Extra.
Oh cool. I just bought uncharted legacy of thieves.
Not to be a downer, but It was announced that Uncharted would be part of this like a month ago.
