Since launching PlayStation Plus in 2010, SIE has been at the forefront of innovation with game subscription services. With the new PlayStation Plus service, PlayStation Now has transitioned into the new PlayStation Plus offering and will no longer be available as a standalone service. PlayStation Now customers will migrate over to PlayStation Plus Premium with no increase to their current subscription fees at launch.
The new Extra and Premium tiers represent a major evolution for PlayStation Plus. With these tiers, our key focus is to ensure that the hundreds of games we offer will include the best quality content that sets us apart.
The new PlayStation Plus game catalog includes titles from dozens of talented studios across the globe, including PlayStation Studios developers such as Insomniac Games, Naughty Dog, and Sucker Punch, and third-party partners such as Rockstar Games, Square Enix, WB Games and more. The hundreds of games available in the PlayStation Plus games catalog will continue to refresh and evolve over time, so there is always something new for gamers to play.
Some of the classic games coming to PlayStation Plus will show improved frame rates and higher quality resolution than its original launch versions. Additionally, select games from the original PlayStation and PSP generation will include a new user experience with menus that allow players to save their game at any time, or even rewind the game to replay a specific section.
This month, enlist in Super Earth’s premier military peacekeeping force and fight for freedom across a hostile galaxy in Helldivers 2, shape your destiny in a stunningly authentic rendition of 15th century Bohemia in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, become the bullet hell and mow down thousands of night creatures to survive in Vampire Survivors, or cut a path through lands infested with terrifying chimaeras to unravel the mystery of their appearance in Hell is Us. All these titles and more are available in August’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup*. Meanwhile, PlayStation Plus Premium welcomes Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams and Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire.
Helldivers 2 will be available to PlayStation Plus Extra members today, August 12, worldwide. All other titles will be available Tuesday, August 18 unless indicated otherwise.PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium | Game Catalog
