- The all-new PlayStation Plus is here and it’s split into 3 tiers; Essential, Extra and Premium. But which is the best PS Plus plan to go for?
Today I’ll go over the included games for PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5 and PSP. What Cloud Streaming actually means, the PS5 game trials, what the main differences are and which PS Plus plan I would pick. This is the UK and Europe PlayStation Plus, but it applies to most other countries too.

What are your thoughts on the new PS Plus? Hope you enjoyed my coverage of it.
Don't waste the time on biomutant
thanks for making this video i am actually planning to get new console this September at this point in INDIA we really low on ps4 slim pro and ps5 console stocks
@@michaelelliott3559 yeah it was better only on hyped trailers but once in while one must try it even if not complete it just buy it off some huge discount
Hi Spawn…which TV is that ? Looks glorious!
I enjoyed in the ps premium
Extra is definitely the best value. Premium still needs a little work but it has potential.
Lmao.. and you basically cleared that up for us. Better luck next time Dog.
agreed
After getting extra - how many games we can download? Will it available after subscription ends?
@@arunkesavan8964 as long your subscription is still active you can keep any game in extra .some games leave after 3 months
Day 1 releases
I am so glad I found your channel a few months ago when I got my PS5. Love the calm and „clean“ feeling of each of your videos; no long intro, no bullshit, always straight to the point.
Keep up the great work, your production quality is amazing! Greetings from Germany :)
the voice makes me fall asleep.
Extra is pretty much the sweet spot, lots of great games and although I feel it will be hard to keep pace with gamepass I'm just relieved that I have a library that will last a long time while all the heavy hitters slide into discount range.
Great video. I watched several other videos on the topic and didn’t really understood the differences between the subscriptions until now. I am currently waiting for my new ps5 to arrive to start playing and have decided to go for the Ps+ extra as i don’t really see the value from the premium. Thank you and keep it up with the awesome videos.
Great video as always, top review! I’m personally just sticking with Essential until more is added over time then I will consider upgrading on my ps5. I am completely with you on the Driver for PS1 being added though. If they do that I would sign up for Extra or Premium in a heartbeat haha. Thanks for all the info, it’s cleared up some questions I had.
Thanks Tom. If we get those games, I’d play them an unhealthy amount 😂
@Tom, do you know if Sony are goi to add more games to extra and premium? Could this possibly be it? It would suck if that’s the case and even if they do add games, I hope it isn’t like a few per year or give us mainly crap games.
Agreed. Im thinking about holding off and giving it more time. It feels sorta rushed. They should have gotten their inventory bulked up before releasing the subscription tiers.
Can you still buy essential? cause they've stopped my debit order 2 days before it shoulve ended. Monthly BTW.
@@nazeemfredericks6221 the only thing I can think of is, they stopped monthly plan or it’s a mistake. And I don’t think they would remove pay monthly subscription, because that is the most expensive plan. May I ask, why you pay monthly? It works out way way cheaper to pay yearly. I understand that money might be tight but it really works out about 1/3 cheaper to pay yearly.
Premium offers initially good features, until you realize the scope of selection for the classic games, once the libraries are increased, it will great!
Do you think Sony will add more games? If so, I bet they give us a tiny amount and make us wait ages before they add more
Wait till the ps6 then :/// i’ll go for extra
@@imnotryuu6391 1.50 dollars more a month nz..... premium is just better
If I get ps+ premium would it come with the ps+ extra
@@Acooldude807No but I’m pretty sure premium has all of extra’s games
Thank you so much for this video. I have been looking for some thing that answers my questions that I don’t even know the question I have.. it’s perfect and help me make the best decision. Thank you again. 🙏🏽
Just found your channel after searching up the differences between each tier. This is the content i look for. A quick overview of what you will cover, actual coverage of said content, no ads no bs. We're getting a ps5 this week so thank you for the info! We're going for the extra plan. Thanks again mate
Enjoy the PS5, it's awesome and you've got loads of great games to catch up on!
@SpawnPoiint yes first game um purchasing would be Dead Space. Only question I have for you, how are the ps5 controllers? I hear a lot of bad reviews due to stick drift? Any reply would be great thanks
I've never had a single controller drift. I have on the Switch, but never the PS5.
@SpawnPoiint thank you once again mate. Excellent content 👍
I have had both extra and Premium/Deluxe. Extra is definitely the best choice if your not sure to go straight onto Premium or not.
As always love your videos bro. Great. I’m heading for the Premium and that is only because i can get it will a little top up but when my sub expires extra is definitely where i will be going
Hello. Great video. I have 2 questions: 1- With the premium version, do I need to have the physical PlayStation box to do some cloud streaming, or I can play the games I wish (with-in the catalog) without the need of having the physical box (just like I can do with Microsoft cloud gaming)? 2- the games available to stream play are only the ones available to ps1,2 and 3 or it includes also the ones for PS4 and PS5? Thanks.
Very helpful. Gonna go with the mid tier. Just not enough of the classics I enjoyed as kid to justify the price jump
I’m sticking with the basic package. As someone with little time for games these days I want to play new PS5 games that wow me - not dated back catalogue oddities. That’s just me tho
Thank bro for helping me decide what to get!
I’m currently on extra right now as I think it’s the best option for what I’m after as there’s a few ps5/4 games I haven’t played before . Plus I’m guessing sly cooper is gonna be revealed some time this year as it’s not included in premium
Great points and I agree Extra seems like the best option now. Thank you for this video, exactly what I needed to make a decision on what plan to land on.
I have a question I downloaded many psn games monthly right, and my subscription just expire today. If I get essential will those games I downloaded monthly be saved as well. Like horizon forbidden west, kakarot etc
Very good Informative video. I only just realised things have changed as I haven't been on my ps4 for a few months. I was hoping one day they would merge ps now with ps plus considering Xbox ultimate, so I'm glad they have done it now. Some of those classic games would be of interest to me, but aside from cloud gaming the ps extra seems the more like for like to Xbox ultimate and for basically the same price too. That's sold it for more really. Put that extra couple quid towards content ha.
Yow this man clarified everything I wanted to hear in the first sentence,unlike other videos TY sir
YAY!! I was so hoping you’d make this video! 🎉❤️
I only started doing it late last night, nearly didn't bother haha
I love this channel just hope u upload more frequently
I wish I could too. Just too busy with work unfortunately 🥲
My essential subscription is due July. I’ll prob go Extra. Cant see many games I actually want to play in premium. I also agree the trials should exist in the essential not premium. That doesn’t make any sense. Keep up the quality videos mate. 👍
I got my PS5 Disc Console tonight. I was wondering which one to get. I think I will do a yearly plan of premium. THANKS for your video
Helpful video,thanks!
Extra is definitely the best for many people because it saves a lot of money.
I have the digital edition, but if I had gotten disc edition, I could BUY physical CD of these games from resellers
But paying for Extra, I am saving so much money than if I had just bought the physical copies of these games.
Premium definitely has potential.. in the future. It needs time for a bigger catalogue of classics.
And I also want to be able to stream PS5 games, not just PS4 or older. Remote Play is a thing for PC.. but it feels a bit janky.
but buying physical games mean that the game is yours forever.
@@rayadisurya7343 Nothing is forever. You can lose physical CD's or they can become damaged. Also, the games you get in Extra are pretty much forever. Even if you stop paying for PS+ for 5 years or something, those games will still be there when you do subscribe.
Also, my comment was 8 months ago and I mentioned how the Extra catalogue wasn't big enough, but now the catalogue is pretty damn solid.
Great video mate, big ups from Devon
Thanks Sensei!
In Australia for an upgrade from essential to extra is $51.98 & our premium is called deluxe with is 70.89 for an upgrade
Awesome video man appreciate the input and you helped me with my decision
Say I download games from extra and i buy essential next year round. Can I still play the games and do they go to my library?
This man is just sooo underrated. God bless this man 🙏🏽❤. Love the amount off effort put into the vids.
Thank you 🙏
Amen Spawnpoiint is the best God bless y’all.
Was kinda hoping there would be more psp games ngl as I love that console and there was many great games for it but I'm guessing there will be more in the future also I'm hoping they add the original gran turismo games and maybe the getaway games fingers crossed 🤞🤞
I have a question, will i be able to play the games I downloaded from the game catalogue when i had ps plus extra later on when i get the essential plan.
Awesome mate. your videos are really informative and well put together. Thanks
Thanks man!
Love his videos fr 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Thank you!
Game Trials is the most powerful thing about Premium. Bring me back to those demo stations at the stores. Breaking your neck to try the latest game out at the time. If PlayStation really wants to stand against competition they would let anyone with at least the Extra subscription to experience Game Trials. If not all plans.
Lmao and Game Pass will be offering it at no extra charge... PlayStation is so behind
@@eddiegarcia1560 lol if you're paying for GamePass then it's extra charge
@Bzake demo gives players a chance to see if the game is worth it or not without losing their money and going into a slow refund process
@@dog8438 it's all in one and Xbox is adding it so the competition holds nothing over it. On PlayStation how many paywalls do you gotta go through?? You Sony ponys are so cute
@@eddiegarcia1560 if you’re an Xbox user, then why tf r u on a review of the new ps plus? Can’t you just accept that people will not always prefer one thing over the other, and that things are subjective. Being on one side doesn’t mean putting the other down. Grow up.
Awesome upload mate!
I just recently bought another PS4 after my original one stopped working almost a decade ago. I missed a lot of stuff in the time I was gone and had a whole list of things I wanted to buy now that I have a working one. I accidentally clicked on the PS Plus tab on the PS4 menu today and took a look around and basically every game I had on the list was being offered on there so buying the Premium membership was the easiest decision ever. Now I have like 20 games queued up to download. Final Fantasy VII Remake alone makes it worth the price. I had planned on going to buy it this afternoon and now I don’t have to. It’s such a good deal for someone new (or returning) to PS4 that it almost feels illegal.
Really hope they add Silent Hill 1-4 and the rest of the original Resident Evil titles. Funny thing is I own them all on disc, and yet playing touched up versions of these classics is enough to persuade me.
Extra is it for me. It comes with all of the pros of essential but with the games catalogue. Premium needs a work around.
I love that you upload in 4K
Thanks Sir, you're Amazing and straight to the Point. Every CZcamsr should learn from you.
The premium option is 60 euro extra on top of the mandatory plus subscription. It think it great value for money. Buying one new game like tloa remake, sets you back 70 euro's for a game we already played multiple times on multiple platforms. I like the trial period option. It no fun when you actually put money down for a game you immediately hate to play. Only thing that potential could suck is when your favourite game is deleted from the menu, and you can't play it anymore. Specially the older platform games. I would like to see the 007 bond games added also the tomb raider games. Played the pirates of the carribian and the monotonous way of slaying enemies and the blurred vision on the screen made me stop.
Hi SpawnPoiint! Amazing video, it reflects how you love gaming, from a ps fan to another, just thanks for having created this wonderful channel. PS plus 💙
As someone who just newly got a ps5 and haven’t played any of the exclusives, premium actually looks the best at least for the first year. I’ll be able to play some of the older games a never played as well as the new games. For the first year I’m definitely thinking going premium, then maybe downgrading to extra depending if they make big changes or not.
I was looking for a good review and comparison video for these new PS Plus plans so I could understand how this works and this is the best one I found! Thank you!
Thank you.
Yeah I'll be honest, I've had PS Plus and PS Now for at least two years, and I'll definitely say that PS Extra is the best value option here. PS Premium offers effectively the same as PS Now but less games. The game demos should be in the Extra tier instead of Premium.
The streaming aspect is nowhere near as good as having downloaded titles, most won't want to play PS3 titles, let alone stream games that will have more frame dips than PS4 titles, and I have a really solid internet connection giving me anywhere from 6-30ms in online multiplayer titles.
The Classic Games Catalogue is really small, offering a limited selection of PS1, PS2, and PSP games through both PS4 and PS5 versions to download. In theory if these offered trophies, you'd have both the PS4 and PS5 versions to play if you have a PS5. This also includes remasters of games and PS4 titles. I've been streaming Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga and there are noticeable screen glitches with movement and skipping. PS3 games are also streamed at 720p, which isn't ideal but it was the default resolution for the PS3 for almost every game.
Would I get Premium again? Personally no, since it's £100 for a year for an insane amount of titles but the games are so old that you're missing out on the latest experiences. I feel Extra offers the current titles for a great price. It just depends on how much time you wish to spend gaming and whether or not you have the latest titles on your mind or have the classic titles revolving around your gaming experience.
Great ps plus video!
I bought the premium for the year, simply because it was just $20usd more (per year). I may or may play the classic games or stream🤷🏾♂️. If you 100% absolutely know you're not going to play the classics or stream the ps3 games, essential is the way to go.
Yes that makes sense too! Thank you.
Great video!⚡️
Really helpful!
Do you know if there will be games added on every month on the extra plan?
Nice stuff SpawnPoiint.
The Premium Tier I would have jumped on instantly, if the PS3 Games was Downloadable rather than just straight up Streaming, so I went for the Extra Tier, having PS5 Games like Demon Souls, Returnal and Spider-Man: Miles Morales plus other quality PS4 Titles just made a No Brainer really.
Biomutant by the way is a really fun Game, it's gotten alot of stick but if you can get into it, it's really cool overall.
I might be wrong but I read somewhere the ps5 is built on a different architecture, meaning it is impossible for them to put ps1-ps3 games on the ps5 as downloadable, and the only option is streaming.
@@Obsrange5176 yh I think they had the same Problem with the PS4 aswell and PS3 Games is only Streaming on that system also.
@@Obsrange5176 Hey Sony made it, then they gotta fix it. Me watching xbox users being able to play their older games makes me so jelly. If it broke then they gotta fix it.
@@Obsrange5176 PS1 and PS2 games don't run on PS5 through streaming, they use emulation. Also the PS3 is not impossible to emulate on systems with enough power but it is very difficult.
I have a question. Are Games like demon souls and spider man: miles morales only available for you to download when you have the extra subscription? Or can you also buy/play those titels with only plus or no subscription at all?
I already knew the ins and outs, however I watched anyway as SpawnPoiint videos are literally some of the best content on CZcams👌🏽🙏
Woah. Thanks Jordan 🙏
Boom been waiting for your input on this !
Thanks man!
I think the game trials are a really important feature. It has saved me already a couple hundred dollars. Trying out games I wanted, then realising they were pretty trash. So to me its definitely worth the $20 extra. Plus they have quite a few ps4 titles i wanted that are not available with the extra tier. Thats dependant on person obviously. I think they should give newer release games to the premium tier for maybe a month before it goes in the games catalogue.
There were 2 particular games that I wanted in the classics catalog that are not there which if they were I would 100% get the premium package. But since they're not I just got the extra package because to me I feel that's worth it.
Your methodology is very interesting, I like your content
Thanks you for your video and channel
I had ps now and plus before so now I automatically got Premium and I will say, despite the few cool features like game trials, overall its hard to recomend it right now. The only major thing you would be missing with Extra is the classic catalog, but outside of the ps3 games theres barely anything there, so theres not really a reason to worry about that, besides, a few classic games are available as their remasters on Extra. If I were to recomend a plan it would be Extra, 100%. You get a huge amount of games for a very reasonable price and still get the monthly games from the essential plan which means... well.... more games! Not saying Premium is bad, I just dont think its worth it right now, but theres a chance it will get better in the next year or so, but unless thats the case, I will change to Extra once my Premium plan gets to an end
I had ps now all it gave me was an extra year of ps plus
@@bulldoggames7804 i think you needed both plus and now to have premium.
Considering just how price gouged the early PlayStation games are, I hope we get a ton of PS1 and PS2 games added. Simpsons Hit and Run for example runs close to $60 USD when the game should run no more than $20 USD given just how many copies sold!
Hey spawnpoint do i cancel my essential subscription and then do extra or if I want extra do i have to pay for essential AND extra?
Is the ps plus collection on the essential tier available on PS4 because I can’t seem to find it
Definitely extra! Super reasonable price with so many games to choose from. Its actually pretty awesome.
are every games available to play for free in Extra? im trying to compare between a non member and an Extra member.
I'm continuing my PS plus 💙 subscription from last year so I've been migrated to PS+ Essential but the PS+ Extra looks like the best bang for my buck, will upgrade once my current plan ends.
Yes that makes sense too man.
You can upgrade to extra now if you have the bucks.
@@sankara1569 yeah but it's expiring next month and I've a few games in my backlog that I wanna clear first
Do they remove games after a certain time? If so how often like how long will i have to complete a game?
I’m sorry if this has already been answered, but we have never owned a console before, hence the confusion.
We are just about to buy the PS5. Do these subscriptions mean that we don’t need to actually buy individual game CDs, or the online versions? We can just subscribe to one of the plans and we get access to all these games?
Extra is definitely worth it
Hit that "LIKE" button everyone, great job as always keep up the great work 👍🏼👌🏽
Good review thank you
Keep it up on your work and this video and channel
Thank you!
Well explained. So just upgraded to Extra, seems the best option (for me) currently. 👍
Thank you 🙏
@@SpawnPoiint can u upgrade to extra with wallet funds??
@@ahebahe6836 yes
@@ahebahe6836 is there ps plus extra gift cards or do u just use the normal ps plus gift card
@@bobjeff2978 I don't think theres a ps extra gift card either u buy it with credit card or u take ps store gift card and buy with wallet.
Extra is the best for me because it has all the big games from PlayStation Now, but the Premium option is the best for those that want the Classics.
Totally agree!
First i wanted extra also, but then i saw alot of games my son wanted to play like stick of truth(he finished fractured but whole) he was super excited so i went for premium wich was just 20 euro more.
If i buy premium will i get the extra games
What happens when you exceeds the time limit given to you on game trials? will the game start afresh or will it become unplayable or unavailable. Just curious answer me please 🙏
My boy stay dropping heat for us 👌🏾🔥
haha thanks man
Not quite Xbox game pass level but definitely a big step towards that direction which I love. Already a few exclusives I can finally play cause of this upgraded service. Great content as well mate!
Xbox has more games but ps plus extra has better games.
@@tzuyoda2750 Ye I’d agree with that, definitely from a exclusive perspective PS are ahead with their game pass
I was extremely lucky in that a couple years ago I stacked my PS Plus up to mid 2025 for $40 CAN per year including taxes...after which I had tried PS Now for a year and it was set to expire June 16/22 and I was not going to renew it.
Even though I was not going to continue my PS Now subscription and had it set not to renew, Sony gave me PS Plus Premium until mid 2025.
I slipped in by 3 days!!!
In hindsight, I was already thinking I should have stacked my PS Plus for even more years, even before the announcement of the new PS Plus plans, given the yearly subscription price was so good at the time...and now I wish it even more so...
Having said that, I am extremely thankful for what I do have.
That’s awesome! Enjoy 3 more years of it haha
Lucky you
I did the same when it was on sale
So if i buy the premium i can play the extra games too right??
I already have most of the AAA titles on disc from the extra collection and I'm not really interested in playing retro games at the moment so it's a difficult one for me.
I really think extra is the best if you just bought a ps5 and wanna play some good exclusives like spiderman, ghost of Tsushima and returnal. Its not really worth it if you already have the big games on disc or purchased already.
Yh same. I still got ps plus extra for like 4 games since it was only £16 for me to upgrade. If you already have every AAA game and have no interest in the others they provide, even with premium, then there is 0 point in upgrading I agree
Do you buy them on launch?

Square would rather re sell you that in the form of a remake lol
heyy, to stream games on pc with premium, do i have to buy the game too? or only the ps now premium?
I'm gonna have to try out Premium, I'm so stoked they have Ape Escape and Toy Story 2. Both of those games instantly take me back to my childhood

Good afternoon 😊 to you and your friends and family 👋NÑ
I'm a newbie to gaming and just got my PS5. Thank you for this helpful advice on PlayStation Plus! Appreciate you!
I want to see that original driver also!
Extra has unreal value for money! Makes me kinda sad I already own most of the PS5 games though lol
Haha yep same 😂
Please its okay at best. If it was good u had any of the big titles there like the new horizon game and gran turismo 7. Atleast if you want to compare it to Xbox gamepass. Im glad they had Ghost of Tsushima it´s the only game with real value.
PS Plus 💙
Thanks for this video I was racking my brain last night thinking what should I go for, I'd like to see them bring gaming on mobile devices like with Xbox game pass
@+④④⑦④⑥⑨⑦⑨④④③⓪WHATS'ApP oh yeah I’ll get right on that coz I’m stupid and never seen these replies before
Struggling with storage got about 4 games on the hardrive how good is the streaming instead of downloading on premium,
Once you buy a game - err download do you keep it while your subscription is valid …I’ve heard the games will be taken off - is this true ?
Hi I’m looking for the best external hard drive for my PS5 to store games on. Which one would you recommend?
I have a wd passport for a couple of years. Best bang for your buck!
With the cloud gaming does it save your progress?
So my xbox controller works with most games but some need access to the touch pad. I didn't want to install the hack that makea the back button and rs work so purchased a dualshock 4 pad as per Sony recommendations. However once paired this does not show up at all in the PS Plus App. Do I need to use the DS4 software and will this allow use of the touch pad?
i have a 48 inch lg c1 tv would i be better off going for xbox series s or series x? its for game pass basically i already have a ps5.
Is premium and deluxe are the same? I don't see a premium option. I see essentials, extra and deluxe.
I have a question. So if i get extra add 10 games to my library and 1 month later I switch to essential will I be able to keep those games?
You can keep them stored on your playstation, but won't be able to play them unless you buy them or renew your subscription
@@shirtsgames5736 thanks
What package is the best for multiplayer games offline?

Great video! Thanks. I’m going to purchase the Extra subscription under the Black Friday offer of 25% discount and stack it for when my subscription ends in Jan.
Thanks this helps
