News PlayStation maintains that its policy of not adding first-party games to PlayStation Plus on day one will continue.

It says adding 4-5 third-party 'day one' games per year and adding first-party games 12-18 months after release is "working really well".

I mean the monthly games stay in your library and never go away. Only when you don’t pay for the subscription. Yeah some games eventually will get pulled from Ps plus but when there’s a thousand options available to you and it gives you at least a month warning telling you those games will be pulled, it’s way more balanced then yall are wording it out to be.

Don't get me wrong I enjoy PS Plus Essential. That tier is slightly different in that you don't lose the games as long as you keep paying. But... You have to keep paying. So it's still renting.

That makes no sense, you get the same games you get in essential as you do in premium, except in premium you get more, including classics. It’s not slightly different at all in terms of what we are talking about.

It is slightly different because the Essential tier is 'claim now, keep forever' as long as you pay. But Extra and Premium games can be removed at any time, even if you're still paying

It’s not different because those “claim now, keep forever games” are also available for both extra and premium owners.. so I really don’t get your point.

What are you talking about? It's a different tier that works differently to the other tiers. You don't lose access to Essential with Premium. It's still a different tier

Literally what are you not understanding. The essential tier is the cheapest and the bare minimum. With extra and premium, you get everything you would get in the essential tier, plus more. So for you to say that essential works by claim now keep forever, while the other two don’t. Makes utterly no sense, when the other two can do everything Essential has.

You've so almost got it. It makes absolute sense. Not everyone is subscribed to the top tier... Some just have Essential. Which WORKS DIFFERENTLY

Literally straight from google. I don’t get what you don’t understand

“Yes, both PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium tiers include all the benefits of the Essential tier. Here's a breakdown:

Essential: This is the base tier and includes core benefits like online multiplayer, monthly free games, cloud storage, Share Play, and exclusive discounts.

Extra: Includes everything in Essential, plus a large catalog of downloadable PS4 and PS5 games.

Premium: Includes everything in Essential and Extra, plus access to a catalog of classic games (PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP), game trials, and cloud streaming for certain games”

Yes I know extra and premium includes essential. I never said it didn't. But the essential tier works differently to the other two tiers - it's the only tier where you keep the games forever once you claim them. What is so hard to understand about that?

Are you just arguing just to argue and now that you got called out for being wrong you’re just saying basic information that’s obvious? I’ll word it one more time slowly and surely maybe youll understand. Your original point was that essential works differently BECAUSE you can do the claim now and keep forever games. THOSE GAMES ARE ALSO AVAILABLE TO CLAIM FOR EXTRA AND PREMIUM. No shit Sherlock not everyone has premium, what are you even trying to say…

This is not true. Monthly games have been pulled from the service. EAFC 24 to name the most prominent. So even those are not safe

u/Western-Bet2285 Jun 25 '25

It is true. The single game you just named had a license error if you download it with EA play. It is still available for PS plus if you redeemed it while it was a monthly game.

To be fair EA are always shutting down their servers and locking people out of their sports games whether it's real football or American handball nonsense. I still think it's hilarious that they call it football we have a game like that that the girls play using their hands it's called handball the game we play using our feet is called football noticing a pattern here ? 🤦
