Of course with videos like these one mayor thing that is not mentioned is that you can share most of the PS Plus features (no trials) with someone else and effectively split the price of the subscribtion. Combined with cheap PSN credit and Sony's deals on black friday etc. you can save a lot of money. I personally only pay about 30 Euros a year for PS Plus Premium instead of 120, so only a fourth.
The games you buy with PS Plus subscription doesn't matter what tier you have, it doesn't stay with your account for life. I had the issue today, where some of my games got a lock icon. And it seems they were removed from the PS Plus catalog and once remove you can't access it until you buy it.

@@guts1258so even if you keep the PlayStation Plus membership it’s possible for those games to be taken away if they’re not in the current catalogue anymore? Just got mine so I’m a little confused.
I'll stick to just the essential thanks. I don't feel like losing access to games I already got through the monthly games, like so many other people have with the Mafia collection and other games
Awesome explanation of PS plus. We get our son a year membership for his birthday every year. He loves it, but not as much as I love PlayStation Access.
Just a word of warning that if you subscribe to say extra or premium for 12 months and you want to downgrade you have to wait until it expires before dropping a tier. If you buy a year of essential and you’re in those tiers you get like 200 days or less added as they’re more expensive than essential.
@@AbadyonYT I wanted to downgrade because I don’t think it was worth paying more for what they was offering. I completed 3-4 games I hadn’t played and wanted to go back to my essential tier.
The best thing to do is keep titles on your wishlist then up your subscription for a month, play all the games and then cancel the subscription a month later.
It’s $4 more than Xbox and yet I feel it’s worth every penny, they give you a massive amount of classics that in my opinion give me that perfect nostalgia for me to enjoy it to the fullest
I wish Ps Plus would change Tier names. It's always confusing what's the best Tier is - Extra or Premium, especially if I don't browse it for a while. Naming it something like Ps Plus Gold and Ps Plus Platinum makes more sense for me.
@@Fernweh1965 No, you own it so long as you stay subscribed. But they will always remain in your library, so if you unsub and resub, you'll always have access to them.
Great video. I just have a question. Let’s say i bought the premium subscription so now I have access to the games catalogue. Let’s also say that I added most of the games from the catalogue to my psn account library. Will these games still remain in my library even after I am not subscribed to ps plus anymore?
If I download all the games I've wanted from the game catalogue in extra, and than downgrade to essential. will I still be able to play the games I have downloaded in the game catalogue?
Do you keep the games you bought while having a playstation plus extra for example if i bought spiderman while in the subscription would i keep it if the subscription is over?
@@brent8407 Life Hack for your Life Hack: Black-Friday PS-Plus Discount on Amazon is even 10-20% ADDITIONAL dicount. In 2022, it was 76,65€ for 12 Months Premium instead of PS-Shop Black-Friday of 89,99€ for instance.

The annual membership teir kinda has my interest into getting a ps5. Id like to play some of the old classics without having to rebuild another collection.
The good thing about the ps now service was that it was cheaper to stream classic games if didn't want to rent or play online multiplayer at the same time. If this plus membership could be improved, then maybe this way: if only want the tenth monthly payment, can choose one of the three extra, premium or essential
Really important question here... let's say I save my game data (progress) into the cloud. What happens when the cloud expired. Let's say for example once a year or 2 years I did a 1 month subscription just to get my saved data.. Will it saves forever? Or be deleted if years pass and I did not Re subscribe?
If I buy ps+ extra sub for 1 year will I be able to play all the games for free present in it until it expires?? And if yes how many games are there(popular one)
My brother recently purchased an essential membership for a month however when he tried playing online, it says he still needs to purchase it. And the ps plus logo does not appear next to his username either. Is there a way to fix this? The purchase went through and it removed 9.99 from my brothers account it just makes no sense why it acts as if he never did buy it🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️. Please tell me how I can fix this issue its annoying.
If i buy the extra membership does the game catologe games that i download randomly leave my collection? Or do I keep it unless i unsubscribe from ps plus
I can't find an answer anywhere I've looked and wondering if anyone happens to know. My boyfriend and I live together and both have our own PCs. If I buy a PS Plus membership, am I able to use it on my PC and he can also use it on his? I reckon not playing games at the same time and that's fine, but I'm talking about just using the account at all? Like account sharing? Is there a profile option or would we have to log in and log out on the two PCs? I would appreciate any answers! I've only been able to find console-related ones.
If my brother and I share an Extra subscription, but my brother's account is the one with the plus subscription, am I able to play the games from the Extra catalogue from my account?
I'm new to playstation. If I get games with plus, then don't get plus for a while and then get it again, will I still be able to play those games I got a while back or will they be gone?
Premium would have sounded cooler if I had the ability to play the games without depending on cloud gaming. Some games like Gravity Rush and the Nathan Drake collection sound fun to have but I refuse to play around with premium if a lot of the ps3 stuff is cloud.
Just question if I purchase plus essential for my son today for Xmas can my membership start just once we connect ps5 which he's getting for Xmas also, thanks

If your internet is good then premium offers the best value now. What you said was true for along time but the streaming of Ps3 games has drastically improved to where there's no noticeable lag. Not sure how they did it but they've been improving it.
Really love this service from Sony, it far surpasses GamePass, most months add 1 or 2 titles I'm interested in. Plus, with games like Stray and Humanity being added as they launch, it's a great way to play the new titles.
So can you use the streaming or cloud gaming or whatever to play anything available to you in your subscription package on the go any where you want with your pc and a controller? For example, I am in the military and travel all the time... Can I leave my PlayStation at home and just bring my laptop and controller with me and use all the benefits of my PS+ premium package?
Today i bought a second hand ps4, it's my first time having a ps console so i just have 1 question... all these games in catalog, included in premium tier, are they free to download or ?

Last time i bought a 6 month essential plan....and i upgraded it to extra....it simply calculated my remaining days and gave me 3 month extra subscription without me paying a single extra dime.... This time i bought a 12 month essential plan....thought it wud convert to atleast 6-8 months of extra....but it is only giving me option of upgrading to Extra 12 month,that too with extra payment. Can someone explain what is going on?
I do love premium (giz another discount for both new and existing subscribers plx) but the catalogue for PS1/PS2 titles really is lacking in comparison to how many great games there were. It's a minor complaint as I've definitely gotten my moneys worth and I know licences expire but I'd love to rack up some trophies replaying some oldies. Legacy of Kain, Armored Core, Grandia 2, C&C, Bloody Roar just to name a few I'd like to see on there personally
Ok but if i download a game like horizon with extra and then my subscription end, i know i can’t play it, but if i rebuy ps plus extra, will I be able to play the game again and would does it save my progress?

Pretty much what I do. I never have these things renewing. I treat them as rentals. They'll never replace actually buying a game and opening it.
Honestly overpriced
Worth it
It’s about the same as Xbox game pass so I would say it is worth it

Be brutal. Cut em out. Can't play em all. Rob knows
156 games in backlog, don’t have time to finish 1
If u get ps plus premium do u also get the extra catalog
Finalllly, a thorough explanation. Thank you Rob & Access team
More thorough than ever. A much needed update. They still missed a big benefit which is the day 1 releases for some games.
I wish Ps Plus would change Tier names. It's always confusing what's the best Tier is - Extra or Premium, especially if I don't browse it for a while. Naming it something like Ps Plus Gold and Ps Plus Platinum makes more sense for me.
Just drop the plus at that point
Is it available in ps4 slim?
I want a list where I can see when a game leaves the Extra and Premium Tiers so I know how long I have left to play and complete them.
And also to give a reasonable time to finish them 100% after the announcement of removal dates
There is a Google doc that tracks all the games that are leaving or have left, both PS Plus and Game Pass.
I thought once you download a game you owned it forever?

Do you keep the games you bought while having a playstation plus extra for example if i bought spiderman while in the subscription would i keep it if the subscription is over?
You didnt buy the game with the subscription. This is only for the 3 monthly games. The libary is more like a rental
