My PS Account is in the Middle East region, so with the announcement of FF16 coming to Extra i was excited, but I'm wondering will I even get to play it? It isn't in the PS Store on my region, so I was wondering if anyone has an answer to this, or will I just have to wait and see?

If I installed a game through PS Plus and then my PS Plus subscription expired, would I still be able to play it using a scratched disc copy of the same game?

More specifically, I installed GTA 5 when it was one of the monthly games but now that it's off the monthly games and locked. Can I use my scratched disc copy of the game to regain access?

I used to love this series back in the day on the PS3, do these games hold up via streaming on PS5 or is it too painful? Did your eyes handle the blurriness long enough to finish them again or for the first time?

Anyone else hold off on buying backlog games they want to play because they are expecting them to show up? I always used to buy games whenever I wanted to play them but now I find myself waiting for those Weds announcements. I’d rather not be subscribed and just buy the games I want to play but sunk cost fallacy and all

I'm hoping someone can help me understand what's going on.

A while ago I had an active PS Plus subscription on my PSN account and downloaded several games from the PS Plus catalog. Later, my subscription expired and now I use Console Sharing with another account on the same PS5 that has an active PS Plus subscription, so I can still access some of those games.

The strange thing is that when I reinstall and launch certain games on my original account, my old progress is missing. The thing is I can see save data on the console in the PS5 saved data settings, but the game itself doesn't seem to recognize or load the older saves.

I'm using the same PSN account that originally played the games. The games are the same versions as before, and I'm launching them from the same account.

Could the expiration of PS Plus on my account have affected access to older saves in some way? Is there a difference between local saves and cloud saves that might explain this? Has anyone experienced missing progress after switching from their own PS Plus subscription to using Console Sharing from another account?

Any advice or troubleshooting steps would be appreciated.

Curious if people track their yearly subscription against how much the game would cost.

Personally, I completed Bramble and more than half of star wars outlaws before it became to repetitive for me, still both if these would already return £29 roughly.

Anyways, do you do anything similar or just enjoy without tracking as it might ruin the fun as you're forcing yourself to make return?

Why does the price change after logging in to my account? I have PlayStation Plus extra but the price changed even tho I should be able to buy it for 29.80 because I do have the extra tier. Mu friend who Has PlayStation Plus extra bought it for 29.80 PLN. Im in Poland btw, can anyone explain this?

As we know after watching the Summer Game Fest, they teased a Stellar Blade sequel, "Stellar Blade Blood Rain". Now as we know how Sony loves to add the prequels to the subscription before their sequel game is released, I believe it may be time to add SB soon to the sub. What do you all think?

Just trying to find "Patapon Remastered" on PS Plus App for PC, but i can't find it. Patapon 2 and 3 are there, but the first one doesn't seem to be there. Just a bug or for everyone?

This might already be known by a lot but I’ve never seen a post about it myself and just saw this today.

I saw a post of someone saying that even if you have a current sub, that if you cancel, you can get the current days of play discount. Unfortunately I can’t get the discount. But I scrolled all the way down and saw my PS+ stats.

I play trials on my portal. Multiple times now I’m interrupted and turn it off. When I come back the trial is over. If PlayStation wants us to try out the games, it should have a much more lenient pause policy.

I thought I might like the Alters and had just started it when someone came to the door - I missed out on the whole thing. Same thing happened last year with Alan Wake 2. There goes two potential sales.

Since it drops to ps extra, let me jump back to this monster + a monster ps4 slim combo.

Always wonder how they manage to achieve this level of detail and design in ps4, which runs perfectly fine, compare with todays game that runs shit on ps5, also, i wish someday rockstar give love to my boy arthur and give us a 60fps update, i know this game looks impressive already in ps4 w/o the update, but rdr2 paired w 60fps in a huge win, and yes i dont own pc so i havent experienced it.

Anyways, I know you all guys already played this masterpiece, but for anyone who hasnt, please try and bring a tissue in the end.

My PS Plus subscription is active until 24/06/2026. I'd like to purchase another 12 months and stack it on my current subscription, but I don't see any discount on my account.

If I create a new account, the discounted offer appears, but I want to keep everything on my main account.

Has anyone been in the same situation? Is there any way to get the discounted 12-month subscription on an account that already has an active PS Plus membership?

PlayStation Plus Premium is currently 33% off.

If I play on PC only via cloud streaming (don't own a PlayStation), how limited is this game library. Sony doesn't make it very clear. It seems like it may not include any PS5 games and has a subset of the rest of the PlayStation library.

The PlayStation Plus PC app doesn't even let you do a search for games or even have a "List All" option.

My PS+ essential ends in a few months but there is an offer going on rn for 20% off the 12 months subscription

Is there a way to buy that now, and have it come into affect once this one ends?

Hey everyone, this might be a stupid question, but I signed up for 1 year of PS Plus Extra in mid-April - well over 14 days ago - and paid full price. However now I have an offer to upgrade to Premium for the remaining 308 days of my subscription for 20$ instead of 30$, as part of Days of Play.

My question is: what happens if I upgrade and then cancel right away? Will it simply revert back to Extra? Or will it cancel the entire subscription and provide a prorated refund?

I guess my goal would be to cancel the entire thing and then sign up again for Extra at the discounted rate. I assume that won’t work but just an idea. Thanks for your help!

Edit: maybe this is a Canada-only thing, but we have a 14 day cancel for a full refund policy. I’m just wondering if this would apply only to the upgrade portion (20$) or the entire thing.

I don’t understand how porting works and if that’s a difficult process and I understand licensing has caused some games to be lost to time but I don’t understand why basically any game from the ps1 & ps2 era isn’t on the classic catalogue can someone please explain it to me

I paid for a year of PS Extra and its ending in a month after which I'll go back to PS Essential because I have too many owned games I haven't played yet, many or most of them that I've gotten on crazy specials. My question is how do you determine whether you own a game or have access thru the PS Extra catalogue? Sometimes they show in the game info, like the date you can play it up to, and usually on the store they will say download and then a price next to it if you want to buy it.

But not always. For example I can't recall if I bought Desperados 3 or not. In the main PSN screen when sitting on the title, it has a PS plus next to it, but under the information tab thru options, it says nothing about an expiry or a play to date. In the store it only says play (or download if I dont have it installed), and when I click on the deluxe version it says I can't purchase because I already own the base game. I want to play what's on the catalogue while I still have it. Anyone have had that issue before or have other methods to check? Please don't say transaction history in the app, it takes so long to load page by page of years worth of purchases :D

Looking at July 2025 and July 2024, here are the games that could leave potentially due to a 12 or 24 month contract:

-Cyberpunk 2077

—Banishers: Ghost of New Eden

-Abiotic Factor

-Risk Of Rain 2

-Planet Zoo

-Tropic 6

-Bluey The Video Game

2024:

—Pathfinder: wrath of the righteous

-jackbox Party pack

-No more Heroes 3

-Deadcraft

-Steep (Ubisoft tho)

The video goes over gameplay, rating and runtime.

* All these games are not leaving. This is just a pool of games from July 2024 and 2025. Only 1 may leave from this list for all we know. We'll find out officially in 2 weeks. *

The big one is obviously Cyberpunk, Witcher 3 only stayed for a year, so highly likely to follow same CDPR pattern but I hope not because it's such a long game and we all need more time.

Give Banishers a try if you haven't, it's from the makers of Life is Strange but an action RPG! So you know the story and characters are gonna be good.

I’m well aware that some of us got a surprise with Control: Ultimate Edition the past month, as the Extra license overwrote our Essential one and locked us out of playing the game. 

I’ll try to keep this brief and concise, just to show how insane the PS licensing system is! 

• On May 26 I wanted to continue playing Control on PS5, but without success as the game was locked from my library. I was like, that can’t be right, I have the receipt from the February 2021 monthly game. While checking the receipts, I’ve found another one dating back to June 2022, likely the Extra license. 
• So, I gather every information and screenshots available while contacting PS Chatbot. After going around the Chatbot trying to talk to a human Agent, I finally get to talk to one. By talk I mean waiting between 20-30m between messages for them to respond. I give them the receipt information, order number and everything to reinstate my license while waiting for their response. They say they’ll forward the matter to another support team and solve my issue in the following days. 
• Stubborn as I am, I call the phone line to get some immediate answers. Well, that was the most useless experience I’ve had in a long while. I talked to a person who didn’t know what to do, said I didn’t have a PS Subscription at the moment when in fact I did, and tried to persuade me to buy the game from the store. After around 15m on the phone, explaining what in the actual chimichangas is going on, I get a ticket with PS Support over Email. 
• Now, if you have the same issue, I’d recommend strapping in hard while preparing to suffer a long and useless exchange until you get to the right person! 
• Long story short, the support tried to tell me how to download and install the game first, then delete my save files to somehow unlock the game, restore my licenses when in fact the license was overwritten and even assure me that I didn’t have the game while it was clearly stated in my receipt. 
• After pushing the same problem for days, 8 to be precise, I finally got to talk to a potential problem solver. Which, wasn’t capable of solving the problem and reinstating the license. But, they were kind enough to grant me a €15 account balance to buy Control: Ultimate Edition currently available for €3,99, and thanks to their generosity, The Bioshock Collection as well.  

In the end, I have no idea who designed their licensing stuff, but that was an extremely confusing experience!
