Overview

  • Sony will continue its policy of excluding first-party games from PS Plus on release day, instead adding them after 12 to 18 months.
  • The service aims to launch four to five third-party indie titles annually for day-one access to complement delayed first-party entries.
  • PS Plus Premium is set to receive at least one new retro title each month and remains open to more PS3 streaming releases.
  • Removing select older titles, such as PS3 Resistance games, helps refresh a catalog of over 80 collections and steer player discovery.
  • Subscriber engagement is at record levels ahead of the service’s 15th anniversary on June 29, with upcoming Essential lineup including Diablo 4, The King of Fighters XV, and Jusant.
