Of course with videos like these one mayor thing that is not mentioned is that you can share most of the PS Plus features (no trials) with someone else and effectively split the price of the subscribtion. Combined with cheap PSN credit and Sony's deals on black friday etc. you can save a lot of money. I personally only pay about 30 Euros a year for PS Plus Premium instead of 120, so only a fourth.

More thorough than ever. A much needed update. They still missed a big benefit which is the day 1 releases for some games.
Just a word of warning that if you subscribe to say extra or premium for 12 months and you want to downgrade you have to wait until it expires before dropping a tier. If you buy a year of essential and you’re in those tiers you get like 200 days or less added as they’re more expensive than essential.

The annual membership teir kinda has my interest into getting a ps5. Id like to play some of the old classics without having to rebuild another collection.
It would be nice if you put Bravia Core in the premium with Sony movies and TV programs or at least a couple of tickets every month to redeem the latest releases or have months of subscription. I would like a vertical subscription that offers more different but related things
Is it available in ps4 slim?
This videos are so high quality definitely subscribing
The games you buy with PS Plus subscription doesn't matter what tier you have, it doesn't stay with your account for life. I had the issue today, where some of my games got a lock icon. And it seems they were removed from the PS Plus catalog and once remove you can't access it until you buy it.
Thanks to premium, my gaming backlog is well and truly out of hand 🤦♂️

If u get ps plus premium do u also get the extra catalog
The best thing to do is keep titles on your wishlist then up your subscription for a month, play all the games and then cancel the subscription a month later.

Pretty much what I do. I never have these things renewing. I treat them as rentals. They'll never replace actually buying a game and opening it.
Does the monthly games from essential goes to game catalog to extra or no?
I wish more legacy titles hot released on PS Premium in a state that isn't glitch and actually works on launch.
If I buy the playstation extra, do i have total acces to the games that are in the catalogue or just the demos?
WOW! That stuff sounds cool! ...I look forward to when I can afford it.
What if a game gets deleted from the catalog which I downloaded, can I not play it anylonger next month?
Thanks for the explanation guys❤️. Are there ever any discounts on the actual upgrade/ subscription payment?

Thanks for the good summary!
I wish Ps Plus would change Tier names. It's always confusing what's the best Tier is - Extra or Premium, especially if I don't browse it for a while. Naming it something like Ps Plus Gold and Ps Plus Platinum makes more sense for me.

Just drop the plus at that point
When the subscription expires will it automatically buy the subscription again?
Rob, please bring back Friday features. It's been a while
I do love premium (giz another discount for both new and existing subscribers plx) but the catalogue for PS1/PS2 titles really is lacking in comparison to how many great games there were. It's a minor complaint as I've definitely gotten my moneys worth and I know licences expire but I'd love to rack up some trophies replaying some oldies. Legacy of Kain, Armored Core, Grandia 2, C&C, Bloody Roar just to name a few I'd like to see on there personally
How about the Deluxe tier? Is that same as Premium tier including cloud streaming?
Just got a ps5. Thanks, new to playstation community. Subscribed
So the monthly games are free and you can just put them in your library for downloading them later?
Thanks for this essential guide Rob! It was extra helpful. Hope you have a premium day!

If i pay for a digital download of a game on PS5 and subscribe to their premuim plus plan and decide ro cancel it will any games I've purchased digitally disappear or not enable me to play them online?
If my brother and I share an Extra subscription, but my brother's account is the one with the plus subscription, am I able to play the games from the Extra catalogue from my account?
So if i cancel the subscription the games will be gone the next time you subscribe? No matter which subscription you pick?
I’ve got a question, here in Australia I’ve seen the new gift cards, in store. So basically if I buy the $30 one and redeem it and buy the essential psplus, will it run for one month until I run out of money from the gift card correct? As I have not input my credit card infos?
If i purchase a play station essential can i play the latest tekken 8 without purchasing the game?

If your internet is good then premium offers the best value now. What you said was true for along time but the streaming of Ps3 games has drastically improved to where there's no noticeable lag. Not sure how they did it but they've been improving it.

How much is a ps plus extra gift card cost and how do i tell the difference between the three?
I'm new to playstation. If I get games with plus, then don't get plus for a while and then get it again, will I still be able to play those games I got a while back or will they be gone?
Are they going to release more classics or that’s about it ? If anyone knows please reply thanks
If u download a game from ps plus extra do u keep the game in ur library even if ur ps plus extra is expired?
Thanks for bringing tiers to my eyes 😢
If I upgrade to extra but then cancel and go back to essential will I still be able to play the games from extra ???
I can't find an answer anywhere I've looked and wondering if anyone happens to know. My boyfriend and I live together and both have our own PCs. If I buy a PS Plus membership, am I able to use it on my PC and he can also use it on his? I reckon not playing games at the same time and that's fine, but I'm talking about just using the account at all? Like account sharing? Is there a profile option or would we have to log in and log out on the two PCs? I would appreciate any answers! I've only been able to find console-related ones.
Any suggestions im thinking about getting a membership should ii get the premium is it worth it?
Do you keep the games you bought while having a playstation plus extra for example if i bought spiderman while in the subscription would i keep it if the subscription is over?

You didnt buy the game with the subscription. This is only for the 3 monthly games. The libary is more like a rental
Today i bought a second hand ps4, it's my first time having a ps console so i just have 1 question... all these games in catalog, included in premium tier, are they free to download or ?
So can you use the streaming or cloud gaming or whatever to play anything available to you in your subscription package on the go any where you want with your pc and a controller? For example, I am in the military and travel all the time... Can I leave my PlayStation at home and just bring my laptop and controller with me and use all the benefits of my PS+ premium package?
If I buy ps+ extra sub for 1 year will I be able to play all the games for free present in it until it expires?? And if yes how many games are there(popular one)
Can we play downloaded games after subscription ends?
Premium would have sounded cooler if I had the ability to play the games without depending on cloud gaming. Some games like Gravity Rush and the Nathan Drake collection sound fun to have but I refuse to play around with premium if a lot of the ps3 stuff is cloud.
Are the ps plus premuim and deluxe same in games ??
The good thing about the ps now service was that it was cheaper to stream classic games if didn't want to rent or play online multiplayer at the same time. If this plus membership could be improved, then maybe this way: if only want the tenth monthly payment, can choose one of the three extra, premium or essential
Just question if I purchase plus essential for my son today for Xmas can my membership start just once we connect ps5 which he's getting for Xmas also, thanks
do i need a playstation controller in order to stream play games on my pc??? or is it okay with an xbox controlller
Are we able to cloud stream rift apart on pc?
so basicialy do u play all the games for a certain time so i can now if i should get minecraft or ps plus
I got a 12 month card about 18 months ago will it still work if I register it on my console?!
Ok but if i download a game like horizon with extra and then my subscription end, i know i can’t play it, but if i rebuy ps plus extra, will I be able to play the game again and would does it save my progress?
every tear of PS plus is on a big disscount right now untill some time next month but my family are going on a wecation sometime in the start of next month so i was just woundering if i can also upgrade my sub services a day before the disscounts end after i’m back home also? or if i have to pay the full subscription feed again the day after the disscount ends? one would think that as long as one upgrade theyr ps + before the disscount ends u are able to have access to is that whole month but i honestly dont know how sony is working?😕🤷🏻♂️
You can only play the Lego games with the premium tier right like Lego Star Wars, Batman etc?
Do you still need to download the games?
Question, if you get premium, are old games free?
My brother recently purchased an essential membership for a month however when he tried playing online, it says he still needs to purchase it. And the ps plus logo does not appear next to his username either. Is there a way to fix this? The purchase went through and it removed 9.99 from my brothers account it just makes no sense why it acts as if he never did buy it🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️. Please tell me how I can fix this issue its annoying.
Can u play the same games on PlayStation plus extra that you can on premium
One question, If I download the game and start playing after one month of subscription the pass gets over. Will I still be able to play the game or will I ask my subscription again to buy to play further? Please answer
KCD just came off the catalouge selection, but i can still click it through my library and in the games page it has the price tag, but also offers to let me download it still. Am i able to play it or is it jus lt gonna tell me to buy it after downloading?
If u buy extra for a month , claim all the games from game catalogue, and then after a month can i switch to essential and still play all the games i claimed ?!
How does the free trial work
Really important question here... let's say I save my game data (progress) into the cloud. What happens when the cloud expired. Let's say for example once a year or 2 years I did a 1 month subscription just to get my saved data.. Will it saves forever? Or be deleted if years pass and I did not Re subscribe?
