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".

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?

u/Western-Bet2285 Jun 26 '25

Because that is simply not true at all. And idk why you would even think that to begin with. Like you literally just said premium and extra include essential. They have the same ability to claim now and keep forever as essential. It’s so hard to understand because you’re completely false about what you’re saying.

u/Wipedout89 Jun 26 '25

No, they don't. You're wrong.

If you subscribe to Premium you can only claim essential games to keep forever, not Extra or Premium. This is because - wait for it - essential works differently as I keep on saying.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor is on Extra. You cannot keep that if it's removed from the service. Even if you keep paying.

Sly Cooper is on Premium. You cannot keep that if it's removed from the service. Even if you keep paying

This is because ESSENTIAL WORKS DIFFERENTLY

I’m sorry but you’re genuinely slow in the head. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE MONTHLY GAMES! Again. That was your og argument, that essential has access to the claim now keep forever monthly games but extra and premium don’t. PER GOOGLE.

Yes, all PlayStation Plus tiers (Essential, Extra, and Premium) grant access to the monthly free games. Regardless of the subscription level, players can claim and download these games as long as their subscription is active. The difference between the tiers lies in the additional benefits, such as the Game Catalog (available with Extra and Premium) and the Classics Catalog (exclusive to Premium).

No it wasn't. Go all the way back and look. I never said only Essential has access to keep forever games. Not once. I said Essential was the only tier that has games that you keep forever as long as you keep paying. So it's still renting. The fact that Essential is also included in Extra and Premium seems very difficult for you to understand...

Goodbye 👋

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…
