The new PlayStation Plus is already available in various regions of the world, including Latin America – in Spain starting June 18 – and here at hypertext We had the opportunity to test it. Having studied the full catalog of available games, which certainly has offers for every taste, You can already catch a glimpse of who will get the most out of an extended subscription.. While it would be easy to think that Sony would have no problem convincing its most dedicated consumers to open their wallet, the reality may be quite different.
First of all, it should be said that in terms of quantity and quality, new PlayStation Plus lives up to expectations. It should be said that the latter have already been conditioned because, as you surely know, Sony does not intend to offer its exclusive starter games in said subscription, which makes it significantly different from the Xbox Game Pass strategy. A few months ago, I told you that these services do not compete with each other, and today’s topic will make it clear why.
Even though there are hundreds of games waiting for us, the new PlayStation Plus may be less or more attractivedepending on the point of view from which you are looking.
If you are a loyal consumer of the brand and generally buy a lot of games third party launch or take advantage of the monthly PlayStation Plus gifts, you will find that many titles of the service, at least the most important ones, has long been in your physical or digital library. That is, you have already had the opportunity to enjoy them, and if you want to do it again, then you do not have to pay for new plans.
By the above I mean that the new PlayStation Plus will be less interesting for people who have changed their library since the PlayStation 3.. Therefore, for these people, the main attraction of the service is access to classic games that have been enhanced with many new features. Among them, the trophy system is a case Siphon filter– or the ability to save the game at any time.
The problem is that the list of classic PS1 and PS2 games is pretty thin at the moment.. On the first console, the choice is limited:
- monkey escape
- Hot Shots Golf
- IQ IntelligentQube
- Jump Flash!
- Mr Driller
- Strange World: Abe’s Odyssey
- Resident Evil director’s cut
- Siphon filter
- Tekken 2
- Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue!
- wild weapons
- armageddon worms
- World Worms Party
While the PlayStation 2 list consists of:
- Monkey Escape 2
- Arc Lad: Twilight of the Spirits
- Cloud
- Dark cloud 2
- fantasy
- Hot Shots Tennis
- Jak 3 (PS4 remaster)
- Jack and Daxter: Ancestral Legacy (PS4 remaster)
- Jack II (PS4 remaster)
- Jake X (PS4 remaster)
- Kinetics
- Okage: Shadow King
- primitive
- red fraction
- red faction 2
- Kasai rebellion
- roguegalaxy
- Mermaid
- Star Wars: Bounty Hunter
- Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter
- Star Wars Racer’s Revenge
- Kree sign
- Monster War
- Wild Weapon 3
So, if you were going to subscribe to classic games, you’d better be patient and wait for a later time. According to Sony, the PlayStation Plus catalog will grow over time, though we don’t know at what rate. Definitely, the company should pay more attention to its heritage pay special attention to strengthening the classical library.
Another way for these subscribers to benefit is to start offering new games the day they launch, which has really contributed to the success of Xbox Game Pass. With the most important exclusives, we already know that this will not happen, but we do not exclude the partnership of Sony with other companies – as Microsoft does – so that the catalog is replenished with new names. Let’s not forget that later Ubisoft+ will be included in the subscription – only in the Extra and Premium plans (Deluxe in Latin America) -.
Are you new to PlayStation? Don’t even think, subscribe
Now, if you’re new to the platform or looking to buy a PlayStation console for the first time – or after a long time – the new PlayStation Plus is the perfect deal for you. There are so many options that you won’t even know where to start.. Luckily, the interface of the service is well designed, so you can also find games based on the genres you like the most.
Of course, the true value of the service depends on your preferences or capabilities. Maybe you have a PS4/PS5 and for one reason or another, you haven’t been able to expand your library for a long time. If it is true, you will definitely find many interesting games in a directory worth paying an additional monthly fee for.
Despite initial hitches with the number of classic games and knowing that exclusives won’t be available from day one, PlayStation Plus update promises a lot for the future. Perhaps soon it will become attractive to both the most devoted fans and the newest ones.
