Overview

• Sony will continue its policy of not adding new first-party games to PS Plus at launch, according to Nick Maguire.
• The service will feature about four to five third-party titles per year on their release day to complement its library.
• First-party PlayStation games typically join PS Plus 12 to 18 months after their initial release.
• PS Plus Premium’s Classics catalog is refreshed with at least one new retro title per month, with older games rotated out to keep the selection engaging.
• Sony’s approach contrasts with Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass, which adds first-party games at launch, reflecting differing strategies on balancing sales and subscription value.
