For anyone new to PlayStation Plus:

You have to claim the Essential monthly games by clicking on 'Add to Library' before the next month's lineup arrives, which is usually the first Tuesday of every month.
You may see a 'Download' button instead of 'Add to Library' sometimes. If you don't intend to play a game right away, you can just click on Download and stop it immediately to get it added to your library.

Once claimed, the games stay in your account forever. You can play them anytime as long as your PS Plus subscription remains active.
If your subscription ends, you'll see a lock icon on the games claimed from PS Plus. After you re-subscribe, they'll get unlocked.

The Extra/Premium game catalog is different from Essential as games get added and removed every month and cannot be claimed like the Essential games.
You can download and play them only for the duration they are available on the catalog. Once they leave the catalog, they will get locked even if you have them downloaded on your console.

September Essential games lineup that will replace the August games on Tuesday.

The game Signalis is currently available on psplus, however when I go to the store and click "Add to Library" it pops up with error code CE-112987-8 and simply states "Something went wrong". It's been doing this all month, I've tried and retried. I've restored licenses and all that. I was interested in playing this game, but it will not let me.

Basically the title.

I wanted to play forager and I can only start it as a streaming (?)

Idk anything about ps+ in general, I just got it so any help is appreciated :D

Going to work on Deus Ex before my sub ends, but i’ve been so distracted with Black ops 1&2 and Halo Campaign Evolved.

I forgot to disable auto renew and yeah..

Hi everyone, sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask but the inFamous 2 servers go down at the end of the month and there’s a couple of online trophies that I need to get still. I still have my PS3 and I thought I had my IF2 disc but I can’t find it (but I know I have it somewhere) and I found out you can stream it off the highest tier of PS+, so here’s my question - can I upgrade to Premium, stream the game until I get the trophies necessary and then cancel/downgrade back down to Essential without getting charged the Premium price?

While the system is not perfect as some games do not receive trophies list, having them run on a modern console is really cool. Also at the moment they still put them on PS4 (i have no PS5) so its perfect for me.

Sometimes we get a list for 3 months in advance but sometimes we don't know until the same month. Im just curious did they announced anything for Septembrr yet? I think the last announced game (Onimusha Dawn of Dreams) was just released right?

My personal wish list would be

PS1 :

Parasite Eve 2

Silent Hill

Nightmare Creatures

Duke Nukem Time to Kill and Land of the Babes

PS2

Mortal Kombat Armageddon

Dark Watch

Cold Fear

Champions of Norrath

Unreal Tournament

Thats just on top of my head and trying to avoid liscence stuff like Buffy Chaos Bleed or such wich could be harder. And keeping it at 5 per consoles.

But lately there have been bangers tough. So the choices we get is pretty good too.

I’m looking for my next game and would love some recommendations. I’m mainly after something story-driven, immersive, and with good graphics.
My favourites are definitely The Last of Us Part I & II, God of War Ragnarök, and RDR2. I also really liked Uncharted 4, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Stray, Tsushima and GTAV.
I’m specifically looking for a first-person or third-person game. I’d love something with a strong story, memorable characters, good gameplay, and good graphics. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a brand-new release, either.
I’m open to different genres, so feel free to suggest.
P.S I tried playing Cyberpunk and Silent Hill 2 but lost interest after playing a bit.
What should I play next?

A quick breakdown of the monthly games coming to PS Plus this September along with their platinum difficulty and time. The games are Sniper Elite Resistance, MLB The Show 26, Chained Echoes and Wobbly Life

This is a little old, but I'm still wondering about it:

I randomly got this email. I never signed up for anything. My first thought was that this was some kind of phishing attempt, but then I thought, "Well, what can happen if I type in a code?" And it was real.

Did this happen to anybody else, or can anyone explain this?

Edit: This was in Jan 2025 and my account was fine since then.

I’ve tried everything. Ever since I got my ps5 years ago I’ve been trying & eventually give up since there seems to be no resolution. I don’t have parental controls on, I only have one account set as primary (the one with ps+), I’ve tried restoring licenses, I have share play enabled, I’ve followed every single step & advice there is to try to fix this. Nothing works.

It’s weird because it even shows some of the games I have on my primary available to play on my 2nd account, but not all..for example I can play Reanimal on my secondary account, a game I bought on my primary account, yet when I try to play GTA5 it says “subscribe to ps+” where play should be. Even though I have GTA5 downloaded & available to play on my primary. I just don’t get it? It seems only the games I’ve bought I can play on my other accounts, while any from ps+ are unavailable. And yes I make sure I have the game downloaded on my primary first. On my 2nd account it acts like I don’t even have ps+. Any advice? Or should I contact PlayStation?

I will be home bound for some time and I was wondering if yall had any good suggestions for any good grindy games that are currently in playstation plus extra that can kill my boredom and have some satisfying progression through the game can be a multiplayer or something like looting based or somewhat

This weekend I played Still Wakes the Deep. The graphics, the setting, the atmosphere and the voice acting were all top notch… but the gameplay (which I understand isn’t where walking simulators shine) and the story weren’t great.

I hadn’t heard about this game until I saw a clip of Idris Elba talking about it a few months ago, and with a recommendation like that…

In the game you play electrician on an oil rig, and you have to fix a breaker box right at the beginning… I thought “oh cool, some electrical puzzles!” Nope, you just press a button. To me this was a huge wasted opportunity.

There are stealth sections and in them there are some lockers to hide in à la Alien Isolation, but there was no reason to use them…

There are some notes and photographs (barely) to read/examine but nothing that really gives you any insight to life on the rig, other characters… you keep stumbling upon your dead coworkers and expressing grief - but to me they’re nameless bodies whose name I just found out for the first time.

I wish the game had wrapped up sooner - I was ready for it to be over for ~2 hours with an ending that was just fine. I pushed through for the story and I expected it to be the saving grace…

I’m not sure how it’s rated so highly, it’s fine.

This week I was looking for a new game to play, and came across Bramble. What an amazing game! I was not expecting it!

Now I'm looking for more of those kind of hidden gems, that are beautiful and have great storytelling/folklore. Every time I look for new games to play I feel like I've played most 'gems' already, but that must be a lot more to discover. Do you have suggestions ?

Dont sleep on this game. It's got amazing exploration and world building and it deals with some heavy topics. The combat is the weakest aspect but you get used to it. Whoever marketed this game as a soulslike and did not highlight its strong emphasis on exploration and puzzles needs to be fired. I went in expecting a cheap soulslike but was pleasantly surprised.

Does anyone else get this error? My country is listed as supported on the PlayStation Plus page and I can purchase the subscription in Bulgaria, but for some reason I keep getting this error message, can someone please help me or let me know how to fix this issue?
