For PlayStation Plus members, we’ll have a special new offering on PS5 – the PlayStation Plus Collection**. PS5 owners with PS Plus will be able to download and play a curated library of PS4 games that defined the generation, like Batman Arkham Knight, Bloodborne, Fallout 4, God of War, Monster Hunter: World, Persona 5 and many more. The PS Plus Collection will be an added benefit to the existing PS4 benefits that PS Plus members receive for a single subscription price.

**Availability of PlayStation Plus Collection titles may vary by country. The Plus Collection is not available in China.

PlayStation 5 launches in November, starting at $399 for PS5 Digital Edition and $499 for PS5 with Ultra HD Blu-Ray Disc Drive

New games announced at PS5 Showcase, including Final Fantasy XVI, Hogwarts Legacy, and a new God of War title

So is this PS Now tied into plus at no extra fee?

 

[BeardGawd]

Haha they are going to find someway to keep two separate subscriptions. Plus and Now.

 

[Hostile_18]

Was a miss for me. I have them apart from Monster Hunter World...

Good for others I guess but wish I could of enjoyed the "big surprise".

 

[jshackles]

I feel like this is only here to placate people and make them look the other way - because instead of getting 2 free PS5 games every month, your PS+ subscription now just gets you a rotating selection of last-gen games.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this just straight up replaces the existing "free games" program.

Good shit

 

[Inviusx]

The bargain bin collection.

They said it’s added on top of the current benefits, so we’ll see I guess.

Seems like it'd be highly confusing for a lot of people. Get two free games every month, keep them for as long as you're subscribed. Also, get a bunch of other free games as long as you're subscribed, but these are different for reasons.

It’s probably going to be under a collection tab and not rotate out until they drop it. Similar to how they did it when the Vita launched. They had that group of 4 or 5 Vita games included on Plus that was under a bundle tab.

 

[Michael Hawk]

Excellent news.

 

[Valonquar]

Well considering I already own every fucking game in the collection... yay?

 

[Iced Arcade]

I want more details. Is this a 1 and done collection, will more 1st parties continue to be added, is this replacing PSN+'s free monthly games etc

 

[Business]

“I already played or I was not interested enough to pay for these games when they launched but now I’m gonna pay a subscription fee ad infinitum so I have access to this selection and hopefully one day push myself to install one of the games I barely care for and enjoy the dated graphics and mechanics. It’s amazing value have you even counted how much I’m saving here?”

Hard pass.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

It's GamePass lite.

 

[beck_]

How are people complaining that PS+ just got extra free games at no extra cost? This is mainly for people who have not had playstation before, it basically gives them a starter kit of great PS games to play on their PS5 at launch.

 

[Zimmy68]

Any enhancmeets? I don’t think Arkham ever got ps4 pro enhancements. These will just be the same?

 

[Bonfires Down]

Put them on PS Now too please.

 

[mckmas8808]

It's GamePass lite.

Pretty much. Makes sense to me.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

It wasn't clear to me what this actually was. At first I though it was PS4 games getting enhanced.

 

[Krisprolls]

It's awesome value for making people change ecosystem. If you go from Xbox to PS5, it's absolutely huge. You instantly get tons of great games for free.

I'm a PS fan but I'm still happy though because I didn't play RE7, MKX, Days Gone or Arkham Knight, maybe more.

That's when I realize I play a bit less than some of you here.

 

[BaneIsPain]

It is good for people never play Days Gone. Benefit on PS5.

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

No resolution bump?

 

[BlackM1st]

Makes sense as no one in their right mind will pay for 5 y.o. games that they're already played. What a terrible offering.

 

[Gamerguy84]

This is a big deal. I wonder what they'll do with PSNOW to add value.

I know whoever jumps on PS for the first time will be busy for a while with some very hi quality games.

 

[Hezekiah]

It is good for people never play Days Gone. Benefit on PS5.

Maybe it'll hit higher than 25fps.

 

[jaysius]

Excellent! I can't wait for PS4 to get left in the dust even more than we already are on the monthly joke games, I mean FREE AMAZING VALUE GAMES.

 

[Investor9872]

Good thing I'm subscribed to Plus until June 2025. The bad news about this is I've already owned the physical copies of all those games on that list. Lol.

 

[DeepEnigma]

It's GamePass lite.

PSNow has been like GamePass/xCloud in one with multiplayer included. For years now.

This is similar to what they did at the Vita launch.

 

[gojira96]

So this doesn't mean these specific games will have PS5 enhancements, right?
Bummer, Uncharted 4 and Arkham Knight already look great, but imagine running on next-gen (well, at least with unlocked frames!)

 

[Redlancet]

The bargain bin collection.

yeah things like god of war are bargain bin..sure jan

 

[Codes 208]

I mean, it kinda is? It’s a great game but being a PS hits makes it a $20 game that you can find in literal bargain bins at places like Best Buy.

 

[DrScissorsMD]

Damn, was hoping it would include GoT but all well. Still a decent list for anyone who hasn’t played any of those games. Doesn’t hold a candle to GP though.

 

[diffusionx]

IMO this is a smart move that makes the PS5 digital version a bit more enticing, even if you have these games on disc for PS4.

the library has to build first.

 

[TLZ]

That's good I guess.

 

[Ozzie666]

There are some good titles there, some I traded in, some games I never finished. It's a nice freebie (sort of). It's a nice addition for sure. Maybe not a megaton, but it's out of left field for sure. Looking forward to some of those titles.
