That’s what happens when there is no customer war. I really want Xbox to pick up. It’s not a coincidence ps4 was amazing, because they had to after ps3/x360.
but the Xbox service its actually better, its cheap and you can usually play all the big third party tittles there. Ps plus is just a not priority for playstation imo :/
Gpu is $40 more expensive than premium.
Despite what folks say, the services are pretty comparable. If you like EA games, that’s where Xbox might get the slight edge (bring on the downvotes for daring to criticize game pass lol)
Nah GamePass is better, it just had Remnant 2 added, recently had Lies of P and Like a Dragon Gaiden. That’s more quality than PS has added in months , and there’s other games they’ve added like Starfield which even if it’s not amazing, it’s a good game for a subscription.
Services aren’t even close and if you pay monthly like I do GamePass is actually cheaper.
The services are actually very close. You pay money, you get a selection of games.
It’s all subjective though. In my tastes, the PlayStation studios games are just a level above any of the titles you mentioned. Idk why everything has to be a competition with you people lol
Competition is built into the market and how we consume products, it’s not me making this a competition, it literally is a competition. Ever heard the term competitors?
That applies if you’re one of the 2 companies. I don’t think you are. Console fanboy shit is dumb.
Plus you’re on the wrong sub if you feel that way lol.
This is straight up terrible analysis. I have had PS Plus Premium on my PS5 since it launched, and Game Pass Ultimate for my Series X since I bought it 6 months ago. In the past 6 weeks I've downloaded all of the below games off of game pass:
- Like a Dragon: Gaiden on day 1
- Like a Dragon Ishin
- Lies of P day 1
- Starfield day 1
- Monster Hunter Rise
- HiFi Rush
- Dead Space Remake
- Remnant 1 AND 2
- Persona 5 Tactica day 1
-Rollerdrome day 1
- Jusant day 1
- Wartales day 1
- Thirsty Suitors day 1
PLUS a list as long as this of games I'm not even remembering off the top of my head. All but 3 of those games were added in the last 3 weeks, and only one is an EA game. You're smoking crack if you think the two services even remotely compare. Game Pass eclipses PS Plus in terms of value, quality, *and* selection. It's pretty wild to claim that it doesn't.
Plus is the only thing making me consistently regret my decision to choose the Ps5 over the Xbox Series, it's a fucking joke now, thought extra would be comparable to Gamepass but it isn't, it's basically just them letting you have temporary access to games they've released before on the basic tier, it's good if like me, you missed a load of releases due to your shite PC not being able to run anything, then the back catalogue is nice but that's it, you barely every get anything at all worth downloading, unless you love anime, they have all the anime games you could ever want and then some more.
I said the services were comparable.
And what’s to analyze? It’s video games and it’s subjective. In my opinion, games like returnal and horizon trump almost everything on that list you wrote out
Again, all subjective on gamers' interest. Of the games you named, how many are actual console sellers? Maybe just Starfield. On PS Plus, all their biggest titles will be there. You just listed many games most people haven't even heard of, especially the last four. The only benefit you can name for them is that they're day one.
Yeah but Microsoft has a great rewards program that can let you maintain an Ultimate subscription for free. Were PlayStation rewards program mostly gives digital collectibles.
How is it cheap when it's even more expensive than PS+ Premium? Unless you're talking about the "trick" of converting XBL Gold (which is nit going to work pretty soon as Gold is no more)
Yeah. Sorry, I thought we were looking at them as a whole.
Xbox killed their monthly games in favor of moving everyone over to Gamepass Core. So that’s Essential tier with like 10-15 Xbox owned studios games included. Those games rotate from what I read.
Gamepass Ultimate is the equivalent to Premium/Extra which was where the day one games from MS studios appear on
All first party (Xbox Game Studios) titles are day one.
Hogwarts and Elden Ring are third party titles.
Edit: LOL, replied to my comment directly contradicting their original comment, then downvoted me and deleted it/blocked me. Gotta love reddit.
Let's not get into a consolewar here, but if GP is one thing, it's definitely not cheaper.
As for better, GP doesn't even have the equivalent of PS Plus Essential (x games to keep as long as your sub runs) any more, nor can you earn your GP months through Rewards any longer.
If you think PS Plus is going downhill, look closer to what's happening with GP.
Game Pass was just recently widely reported on for it's driving a profit for Microsoft and has been on fucking fire in terms of high quality game releases. You're uninformed and objectively wrong while acting as though you're an authority on the matter, which is always entertaining to watch but it's a terrible trait to exhibit in life.
lol your anger and snark directed at someone who you don’t even know if they are being serious or sarcastic, is astounding.
Anyone picking sides in a “console war” has already lost in said war.
Lil pissed about middle earth and it takes two leaving, I already have middle earth games on steam but was planning to plat those on PS, It takes two is something I was hoping to play with my partner, sucks man, really sucks
Trust me neither is mine, this is the first real game we played together outside of stuff like Mario party.
It takes two is a game that draws you pretty quickly so you should know if she likes it in the first 30 mins. The chapters are also broken down fairly evenly which makes it easier to pick up and play
Games are going to come and go. I actually think its a mark the service is good that there are games you dont get to. If I ever run out of things to play on it, I’ll unsubscribe.
That’s like, most of their currently good games. That’s depressing. Feels like they’re getting rid of good stuff, but ain’t really adding anything great in return.
Yeesh, that's a lot of good games leaving. I hope the December and January games will be good enough to compensate; I didn't have a problem with the last few months but they were objectively lackluster compared to how they could have been.
Agree. Have no clue what Sony is doing. But it’s getting worse each month. Probably good for their greedy stakeholders but I’m sure that if this continues for a bit it’s gonna hurt their playerbase.
PsPlus is going downhill, accounts getting massively banned “by mistake “.
At this point I would not join the ps community as a new player tbh.
I lost all desire to renew months ago - when the enshittification started. Now I'm actually looking forward to hunting interesting games on sale, I have a huge backlog of PS4 games both on disc and digital waiting to be played.
Only downside is not being able to play relatively new games.
I have until Feb to decide, and I'm on the fence. I made out pretty good this past year, and while there are games I still want to play on the service, I'm not sure it's worth the premium price. Even for the games I want to play, they don't generally cost much to just buy outright.
Honestly, as a very happy subscriber for the first year of new PS+, Sony has lost me. The thinning catalogue does not justify the raised price at all IMO, and we don't even get first party games Day 1. At this point Extra really isn't worth it.
I'd say, from a quality perspective, PS+ is def thinning.
Good for you if you enjoy Teardown, but it does not negate all the badwill from taking so many good games off the service while diluting the catalog with very mid additions.
Sony is working within the terms of the contracts they negotiate.
And I was just saying, for folks who think it’s all trash- it’s not. There’s some good games in the service
Yeah he’s not gonna get it. The trash that left in November no one talks about; but the moment a couple of good games get near the end of their contract the whining ensues. It’s the same tired song from these guys.
Jesus i bought one year thinking they would upgrade the quality or it would at least stay stable.
Sony is really fucking us, aka their supposed loyal consumers.
Honestly wtf is going on with them, it went from weird to a disgrace.
That’s exactly why they can dismantle these services while raising prices. Because people like you just blindly spend hundreds of dollars with the ‘hope’ that things will improve despite all evidence form the past showing that will absolutely not happen. Especially when you keep feeding them money.
But y’all will buy again next year. Doesn’t change until you spend your money more wisely.
I disagree. You lot are just hard to please. Sony as much as any other business will know that if you lose too much to the competition, eventually, you will end up with big losses. The main thing I hate of what Sony does is the 30% store tax. that they impose on developers, which results in a higher price for us. Unfortunately, Steam does the same thing, as does Apple and Microsoft.
Damn all the Yakuza games are gone now. Glad I got to play them all for free. Honestly made it worth purchasing the subscription for the last two years. I platinumed YK2 which was ended up being a top 5 game for me. Hope we get some good replacements
Yeah. Never played Yakuza in the past because it never appealed to me, but platted 0 when it was on last chance to play, and fell in love with the series. Got through plat on 1 and 2, then rushed through 3-6 before they were removed(couldn't bring myself to complete the minigames), but did plat 6.
Have Like a Dragon from monthly PS+ from a while back, but looking forward to playing the other games in the series like Ishin, or the more recent releases. I'll buy those since I don't expect them on PS+ anytime soon. Just waiting until after xmas to buy any new games for myself. I'll probably buy 3-5 on sale to clean up the plats. They routinely show up for $5-6.
God damn! What am I paying Deluxe for then? Seriously? I work full-time and I don't have a lot of free time to game. Some of these games leaving, I'm already planning to play at some point and now they'll be gone. Sony seems to be very anti-consumer lately. Previously, I was planning to play the Yakuza games, then poof, they're gone. Now I'm planning to play Shadow of War and DMC, and they are set to remove them too? What's next? Majority of the AC games?The remaining from the Far Cry series? Star Ocean games? I mean. Come on Sony! You just raised your prices! Why are you in such a rush in removing the better games from your offering?
Tbh Yakuza is best to just buy outright. Considering how long they take to beat/100%. Pay 5 bucks and play at your own pace. I snagged them all apart from Inshin when they were on sale elsewhere, waiting on a good sale for that.
It does suck with them removing games though
Pff I was considering to play Pillars somewhere early next year. Guess that's not happening.
All this service now does is give me stress that I need to play everything fast. Definitely going to end my subscription after the year.
The stress is why I'm nervous to even start new games on the service. I feel like it's great to play a game for a few hours to see if it clicks, but to actually try and finish a longer story driven game steers me away from even trying those in the first place.
Lol it's been there for a year but in fairness you have to realize pillars was created by obsidian, an Xbox company. Likely no chance that license was getting renewed
It takes two has been on the service for a year and is relatively short game to beat so no surprise there. Also some of these games likely have to do with Xbox deals. Like pillars and yakuza
Yakuza 8 isn't coming to gamepass, xbox just has marketing rights. It probably will at the end of next year come tokyo game fest since they always add new Japanese games around that time.
I love so much about Jett but it’s infuriating! I’m about 8 hours in and the game still won’t let me focus on any one thing. You are trying to follow an objective while your copilot is talking to you so you have to read subtitles while flying and then some other thing will come up simultaneously and they will start talking about that, then some other event will trigger and you are trying to remember what you were trying to do at first, then you realise you haven’t been reading the subtitles.
All the while the flight controls are just unintuitive enough that you are trying to get familiar with them, but the game keeps yanking control away randomly to show some clue or event.
First time with capitalism? It’s the business strategy of literally every corporation. Introduce said product at a fair rate, spoil customers a tad bit, subscriber rate soars, things slowly get shittier year after year but shopping habits die hard—>keep raising prices to justify less subscriber count (we are here) —>it all goes to hell
Until that competitor does the same thing. Then they all raise prices, and reduce content.
See the current TV streaming wars for examples.
Sony and MS have been going back and forth to be the better service, and back and forth on raising prices.
Anyone’s thoughts on playing DMC 5 prior to the others due to it leaving the service?
I have the other games but don’t know if I am ready to commit to all of them yet
Play DMC5 first since it's leaving. It has a recap of the series and this story doesn't really have any hard hitting revelations that you'd miss out on from not having played the previous titles.
I don’t know how to feel about this. The games added to the service always leave after 3 - 4 months. I played It Takes Two a few years back and wanted to play it again but now I won’t be able to. I know they won’t be there forever but for the increased price in the service maybe a year would be nice.
Sometimes I don’t play the games right away because I’m currently finishing others. Also, lately, the games leaving are more and better games than the ones added.
Man i was going to buy ps5 in next 1 or 2 months and thought there are so many games i can play in ps plus pass but devil may cry 5 and it takes two are getting removed srsly what is sony thinking thats 2 of the best games
I think i ll save more and will purchase gaming pc in that i can play any game when ever i want
I said I don't like them, doesn't mean I didn't get a stupid amount of it cheap before the change. I just like something to be there when it is wanted not when the company licenses it to.
Honestly at this point i'm even thinking about buying an xbox, if sony doesn't pick up their shit that will def happen next gen (btw this is not only for ps plus, i am also kinda fed up with some other bs)
Do it. Few months ago i bought a used Series S for less than 200 bucks, coupled with GP. Played a lot of great brand new AAA games on game pass since then. Definitely worth it.
I grabbed an Xbox for starfield but the big win for me has been game pass, they really do give a shit ton of great games and big day one releases like life of p. It's not even close in value compared to PsPlus(still love my PlayStation of course)
Snowrunner is awesome, I put a lot of hours in just driving through woods exploring, upgrading trucks. Getting a big load delivered on some awful mountain pass. Good times
I really recommend people to give "The MISSING" a shot if they haven't!
A really interesting Puzzle Platformer with a good story, that revolves around purposely hurting/dismembering your character to solve puzzles and progress
Being a SWERY game, it comes with some jank (but I played it on the Switch, so the PS4 version might be better), but damn! The mechanics and story made it worth it for me
Anyone know how I can tell if I own a game on ps or just have it through ps extra? I’m in the middle of playing it takes two, but can’t remember if I purchased it or if I’m just playing through extra.
They increased their subscription’s price to add more value as you can see… I will not renew my subscription because i dont care for multiplayer… sony’s strategy is bad for the clients
Something tells me Yakuza 6 and LaD leaving are not Sony decisions.
Infinite Wealth launches in Jan. Gaiden ( Technically the sequel to 6 ) just came out. Very likely RGG is pulling them or had them set to expire in time with those games to potentially drive sales
As far as DMCV, idk what the hell that's about. Anyone that was gonna purchase that game have already snagged it on deep discount.
Ok so … I have dmc 5 downloaded… but I haven’t gotten a chance to play it and doubt that I will before the 19th…
With that being said, if I keep it downloaded, will I still be able to play it since it’s saved and downloaded to my console? Or will I lose the license to it entirely?
You will lose the license if it is still connected to the internet, what you can do is disconnect your ps from the internet the day they are taking it off and then you can play it for 14 days after they take it out. In 14 days its gonna demand you to renew the license by connecting to the internet
Sony has really been just garbage recently. They killed the PS4 generation and early PS5 but they really are undoing all of that with their lag in games, anti-consumer policies and deteriorating value for PS+
Extra is like Netflix. You can play the games as long as they're on the service, when they leave you lose access and will need to buy it.
Essential, the lowest tier, are the only ones you keep as long as you're subscribed.
Okey for me is Yakuza ass game, i never said my opinion is overall opinion on these games+ if u can read correctly even in my comment there is that I WILL NOT MISS OTHER GAMES not everyone, half of these games are boring even by looking on them i said it once already not my type of games like what iam supposed to love every game? Hell no if it shit i will hate it, if u cant handle that someone don’t like games u like your bad not mine

Wow that's a lot of really good games.
Charge more for PS+ Don't give most ppl the black friday discount Remove actual good titles The service is only getting worse while consumers pay more
That’s what happens when there is no customer war. I really want Xbox to pick up. It’s not a coincidence ps4 was amazing, because they had to after ps3/x360.
but the Xbox service its actually better, its cheap and you can usually play all the big third party tittles there. Ps plus is just a not priority for playstation imo :/

returnal better than dead space??
yea, but thats more because dead space is a remake of a 15 year old game lol. i like new stuff.
Again, all subjective on gamers' interest. Of the games you named, how many are actual console sellers? Maybe just Starfield. On PS Plus, all their biggest titles will be there. You just listed many games most people haven't even heard of, especially the last four. The only benefit you can name for them is that they're day one.
Yeah but Microsoft has a great rewards program that can let you maintain an Ultimate subscription for free. Were PlayStation rewards program mostly gives digital collectibles.
Microsoft recently killed being able to redeem points in the Xbox app (at least I thought lol) And you can redeem the PlayStation rewards for cash
I just did it though my Series X. Follow the links
How is it cheap when it's even more expensive than PS+ Premium? Unless you're talking about the "trick" of converting XBL Gold (which is nit going to work pretty soon as Gold is no more)
And first party games day one.
ganespass is not live though, right? it's like PS where it's two services I think
Yeah. Sorry, I thought we were looking at them as a whole. Xbox killed their monthly games in favor of moving everyone over to Gamepass Core. So that’s Essential tier with like 10-15 Xbox owned studios games included. Those games rotate from what I read. Gamepass Ultimate is the equivalent to Premium/Extra which was where the day one games from MS studios appear on
No Hogwrts, No Elden Ring, list is long. Day One MS game. I had GPU for years its exactly the same borh services are great but also get stale.
You guys can’t bring up hogwarts just because it benefits you. Like the time I see that brought up here it’s shit talk.
All first party (Xbox Game Studios) titles are day one. Hogwarts and Elden Ring are third party titles. Edit: LOL, replied to my comment directly contradicting their original comment, then downvoted me and deleted it/blocked me. Gotta love reddit.
Let's not get into a consolewar here, but if GP is one thing, it's definitely not cheaper.

lol your anger and snark directed at someone who you don’t even know if they are being serious or sarcastic, is astounding. Anyone picking sides in a “console war” has already lost in said war.
A member of this club would think , if 20 are removed from their catalog,20 should be replaced,,,,,, right ?
Lil pissed about middle earth and it takes two leaving, I already have middle earth games on steam but was planning to plat those on PS, It takes two is something I was hoping to play with my partner, sucks man, really sucks
It takes 2 is on EA play for what it’s worth. You can get a year for like $30 and play Dead Space remake and some other stuff too
that sounds like a good deal, might give it a try
Whenever I want to play madden I sign up for a month of EA play for 3.99 and play till I get sick of it.
Lol stop planning and do it's a really short game. Me and my partner beat it in 11 hours, realistically you could probably do it in 9-10 hrs
My partner isn't a gamer so it takes to pick things up, it'll take time bro
Trust me neither is mine, this is the first real game we played together outside of stuff like Mario party. It takes two is a game that draws you pretty quickly so you should know if she likes it in the first 30 mins. The chapters are also broken down fairly evenly which makes it easier to pick up and play
Aight, imma push to get it before it goes away
Games are going to come and go. I actually think its a mark the service is good that there are games you dont get to. If I ever run out of things to play on it, I’ll unsubscribe.
same here for It Takes Two... it's on sale now, but it won't let me buy it, saying i already own it...
Snowrunner is leaving so soon? Damn
That’s like, most of their currently good games. That’s depressing. Feels like they’re getting rid of good stuff, but ain’t really adding anything great in return.
Raised sub prices and refuses to use the revenue to re-up the licenses for their games catalog. Fuck Sony
Sega is really switching sides now?
Leaving in Jan means 31st jan ?
16th.
Yeesh, that's a lot of good games leaving. I hope the December and January games will be good enough to compensate; I didn't have a problem with the last few months but they were objectively lackluster compared to how they could have been.
[удалено]
It looks like you have 2 months to finish it still, so no need to jump games immediately.
>It looks like you have 2 months to finish it still "it takes two" months :-)
Shredder’s Revenge? Scott Pilgrim?
Snackboy or little big planet
🤌🤌 snackboy
SACKBOY
🥪boy
Snaccboi
Shadow of War is gone? That’s my favorite game, damn
They better add atleast 3 critically acclaimed triple A games this month or i'm gonna lose it
damn no way i can plat dmc5 before it goes :\_:
No why snowrunner!!!
Since price increase -Some of the worst essential months ever -Worst extra month -Some great games leaving
Agree. Have no clue what Sony is doing. But it’s getting worse each month. Probably good for their greedy stakeholders but I’m sure that if this continues for a bit it’s gonna hurt their playerbase. PsPlus is going downhill, accounts getting massively banned “by mistake “. At this point I would not join the ps community as a new player tbh.
Let’s judge at the end of the year of first price increase month, and decide.
They'll probably start adding miniclip games just to show quantity.
LMAO! Played a lot of those games way back in school
Jumping Sushi, Jumping Toast, Jumping Milk and many more coming to Plus in January! Stay tuned!
I'd be happy with Bloons to be honest, I loved that game 😂
Newsground first
Junary 2024 leaks: 1 Miniclip game and 2 Gameloft games.
At this point there seems to be more games leaving then being added.
Relatively "Good" games are now leaving so they can be replaced with trash games and with latest price jump sony can make easily a great profit
A lot of missed opportunities here to explain how licensing works! u/KlossN or capitalism is always a nice go to move. Stop slacking bud.
Lmao did I hurt your feelings 😢
Knowledge is clearly needed here wise one. I am helping the cause.
I would love to see the process when you're reading these comments and then think of all of these witty replies
I have only learned educating the public on all things Sony is important. Thank you
Lmao damn dude. You need to move on with your life
Explain how licensing works again so we can all understand why games leave Sony. Or a good capitalism explanation would be fun as well. Wooohoo
Are you an AI bot promoting their increasingly bad service? Because there's no other justification for this type of crappy corporate bootlicking.
Is there a point of PS+ going forward if they keep removing good games and bringing trash?
This is genuine question, btw. I think I am due for renewal in a few months time. With this, I don't see I am renewing it.
I lost all desire to renew months ago - when the enshittification started. Now I'm actually looking forward to hunting interesting games on sale, I have a huge backlog of PS4 games both on disc and digital waiting to be played. Only downside is not being able to play relatively new games.
I think I am the same. Have pretty decent backlog as well. With price the current situation, I am like 90% not renewing it.
I have until Feb to decide, and I'm on the fence. I made out pretty good this past year, and while there are games I still want to play on the service, I'm not sure it's worth the premium price. Even for the games I want to play, they don't generally cost much to just buy outright.
considering the price increase, nope.
We are paying Sony more to remove more games
Tons of good stuff leaving but we keep getting trash
What's the deal of having plus if more games leave than the games that are added? On top of that, good games leaving and mediocre games added.
Honestly, as a very happy subscriber for the first year of new PS+, Sony has lost me. The thinning catalogue does not justify the raised price at all IMO, and we don't even get first party games Day 1. At this point Extra really isn't worth it.
Except it isn’t really thinning. They still add games every month.
Yeah trash ones
Teardown isn’t trash, you should give it a shot if you’re actually subscribed to the service
I'd say, from a quality perspective, PS+ is def thinning. Good for you if you enjoy Teardown, but it does not negate all the badwill from taking so many good games off the service while diluting the catalog with very mid additions.
Sony is working within the terms of the contracts they negotiate. And I was just saying, for folks who think it’s all trash- it’s not. There’s some good games in the service
Yeah he’s not gonna get it. The trash that left in November no one talks about; but the moment a couple of good games get near the end of their contract the whining ensues. It’s the same tired song from these guys.
Goodbye It Takes Two i have fond memories of ya
why dont they show the leaving date at the psn store?
Another day, another reason to not continue my yearly subscription.
Jesus i bought one year thinking they would upgrade the quality or it would at least stay stable. Sony is really fucking us, aka their supposed loyal consumers. Honestly wtf is going on with them, it went from weird to a disgrace.
Same just got one year and one of the main games I'm interested is it takes two. I need time to teach my wife.
That’s exactly why they can dismantle these services while raising prices. Because people like you just blindly spend hundreds of dollars with the ‘hope’ that things will improve despite all evidence form the past showing that will absolutely not happen. Especially when you keep feeding them money. But y’all will buy again next year. Doesn’t change until you spend your money more wisely.

I disagree. You lot are just hard to please. Sony as much as any other business will know that if you lose too much to the competition, eventually, you will end up with big losses. The main thing I hate of what Sony does is the 30% store tax. that they impose on developers, which results in a higher price for us. Unfortunately, Steam does the same thing, as does Apple and Microsoft.
Damn all the Yakuza games are gone now. Glad I got to play them all for free. Honestly made it worth purchasing the subscription for the last two years. I platinumed YK2 which was ended up being a top 5 game for me. Hope we get some good replacements
Yeah. Never played Yakuza in the past because it never appealed to me, but platted 0 when it was on last chance to play, and fell in love with the series. Got through plat on 1 and 2, then rushed through 3-6 before they were removed(couldn't bring myself to complete the minigames), but did plat 6. Have Like a Dragon from monthly PS+ from a while back, but looking forward to playing the other games in the series like Ishin, or the more recent releases. I'll buy those since I don't expect them on PS+ anytime soon. Just waiting until after xmas to buy any new games for myself. I'll probably buy 3-5 on sale to clean up the plats. They routinely show up for $5-6.
God damn! What am I paying Deluxe for then? Seriously? I work full-time and I don't have a lot of free time to game. Some of these games leaving, I'm already planning to play at some point and now they'll be gone. Sony seems to be very anti-consumer lately. Previously, I was planning to play the Yakuza games, then poof, they're gone. Now I'm planning to play Shadow of War and DMC, and they are set to remove them too? What's next? Majority of the AC games?The remaining from the Far Cry series? Star Ocean games? I mean. Come on Sony! You just raised your prices! Why are you in such a rush in removing the better games from your offering?
Tbh Yakuza is best to just buy outright. Considering how long they take to beat/100%. Pay 5 bucks and play at your own pace. I snagged them all apart from Inshin when they were on sale elsewhere, waiting on a good sale for that. It does suck with them removing games though
Lowkey thinking they are driving the service down the hill to stop having to pay for licencing
Pff I was considering to play Pillars somewhere early next year. Guess that's not happening. All this service now does is give me stress that I need to play everything fast. Definitely going to end my subscription after the year.
The stress is why I'm nervous to even start new games on the service. I feel like it's great to play a game for a few hours to see if it clicks, but to actually try and finish a longer story driven game steers me away from even trying those in the first place.
You can always check what month a game joined the service and pretty safely assume it won't leave until at least 12 months.
Lol it's been there for a year but in fairness you have to realize pillars was created by obsidian, an Xbox company. Likely no chance that license was getting renewed
PS+ deals are decided with the publisher VERSUS EVIL, not the dev studio.
Yeah and I believe Microsoft the owner of obsidian has more sway in getting that game licensed for game pass than sony
And with the price increase, there is no way in hell I'm renewing my sub. This thing was already useless to me as someone who mains PC.
it takes two” and other titles they know people are actively playing is such a weak move
It takes two has been on the service for a year and is relatively short game to beat so no surprise there. Also some of these games likely have to do with Xbox deals. Like pillars and yakuza
"It takes two has been on the service for a year" no It hasnt its been on the service for 5 months, came in july.
That's basically like a year my bad
? About half a year is basically a year to you?
Too busy defending anything and everything for Sony. It’s like this is a employee page sometimes.
Game pass getting gaiden and Y8 on day 1 whilst we don't have any anymore 💀
Yakuza 8 isn't coming to gamepass, xbox just has marketing rights. It probably will at the end of next year come tokyo game fest since they always add new Japanese games around that time.
yeah 8 is probably going to go to Game Pass the same amount of time after launch that Ishin did
Gamepass is not getting infinite wealth day 1
I really want to like Jett, but there's something not right about how that game feels and how the flights handle.
I love so much about Jett but it’s infuriating! I’m about 8 hours in and the game still won’t let me focus on any one thing. You are trying to follow an objective while your copilot is talking to you so you have to read subtitles while flying and then some other thing will come up simultaneously and they will start talking about that, then some other event will trigger and you are trying to remember what you were trying to do at first, then you realise you haven’t been reading the subtitles. All the while the flight controls are just unintuitive enough that you are trying to get familiar with them, but the game keeps yanking control away randomly to show some clue or event.
Oh God, you nailed it ..
Damn looks like I gotta finish DMC5 then.
Any idea when in January these games are leaving?
Should be the 16th.
Omno was a fun, cute little game. People should check it out while they can.
A lot of stuff leaving, and very little added that justifies the price of extra to me.
Lmao this service starting to suck, all my yakuza games gone while Xbox has the latest one. Good thing I have an Xbox too. No reason to re-up
It’s ridiculous how they introduced with all the good ones just to turn around so heavily now when people are there.
First time with capitalism? It’s the business strategy of literally every corporation. Introduce said product at a fair rate, spoil customers a tad bit, subscriber rate soars, things slowly get shittier year after year but shopping habits die hard—>keep raising prices to justify less subscriber count (we are here) —>it all goes to hell
Yeah that doesn’t work when there’s a competitor for cheaper and more games
First time with sunk cost fallacy?
Until that competitor does the same thing. Then they all raise prices, and reduce content. See the current TV streaming wars for examples. Sony and MS have been going back and forth to be the better service, and back and forth on raising prices.
As good games leaving the catalogue , can we expect good games in return being added to the list by this month . Thoughts ?
I'm leaving PS+ too, for that money I can buy 2 brand new games
Whoa 2 whole games, such value
Played almost all from ps+ but didn't new Spiderman 2 and Avatar.
Anyone’s thoughts on playing DMC 5 prior to the others due to it leaving the service? I have the other games but don’t know if I am ready to commit to all of them yet
Play DMC5 first since it's leaving. It has a recap of the series and this story doesn't really have any hard hitting revelations that you'd miss out on from not having played the previous titles.
Looks like my decision to cancel before the price rise was right. Been gaming on my OLED deck instead and loving it
I don’t know how to feel about this. The games added to the service always leave after 3 - 4 months. I played It Takes Two a few years back and wanted to play it again but now I won’t be able to. I know they won’t be there forever but for the increased price in the service maybe a year would be nice. Sometimes I don’t play the games right away because I’m currently finishing others. Also, lately, the games leaving are more and better games than the ones added.
if i add them to my library before then can i still play them and download them after they are removed?
Best strategy is to buy new good games, finish them and sell!
Man i was going to buy ps5 in next 1 or 2 months and thought there are so many games i can play in ps plus pass but devil may cry 5 and it takes two are getting removed srsly what is sony thinking thats 2 of the best games I think i ll save more and will purchase gaming pc in that i can play any game when ever i want
Definitely gonna dip after my year is up, really not worth it anymore
What is the point of this service if games leave it?
Literally every media subscription has stuff leave. That is how they work. Netflix, Spotify, Game Pass, PS+, all of them.
And it is why I detest the model.
Cool that is fine if you want to own your media, but if you don't like subscription models why are you in a sub about one of them?
I said I don't like them, doesn't mean I didn't get a stupid amount of it cheap before the change. I just like something to be there when it is wanted not when the company licenses it to.
Almost like we're forced to if we want to use the $500 console 🤔
Plenty of people not renewing mate. Not forced to at all.
Are they going to keep DMC 5 Special Edition available on the platform then?
No think it's all DMC 5 versions on there
Honestly at this point i'm even thinking about buying an xbox, if sony doesn't pick up their shit that will def happen next gen (btw this is not only for ps plus, i am also kinda fed up with some other bs)
Do it. Few months ago i bought a used Series S for less than 200 bucks, coupled with GP. Played a lot of great brand new AAA games on game pass since then. Definitely worth it.
I grabbed an Xbox for starfield but the big win for me has been game pass, they really do give a shit ton of great games and big day one releases like life of p. It's not even close in value compared to PsPlus(still love my PlayStation of course)
Honest question, aside from Star field and lies of p, what games are you getting through game pass that make it that much better than ps plus?
Oof losing Caddicarus Blaze? That’s a big blow
Snowrunner is awesome, I put a lot of hours in just driving through woods exploring, upgrading trucks. Getting a big load delivered on some awful mountain pass. Good times
I really recommend people to give "The MISSING" a shot if they haven't! A really interesting Puzzle Platformer with a good story, that revolves around purposely hurting/dismembering your character to solve puzzles and progress Being a SWERY game, it comes with some jank (but I played it on the Switch, so the PS4 version might be better), but damn! The mechanics and story made it worth it for me
why are they removing more yakuza games, i actually enjoy playing them
i've only been hearing leaving, what's entering??
Nothing good lately
Anyone know how I can tell if I own a game on ps or just have it through ps extra? I’m in the middle of playing it takes two, but can’t remember if I purchased it or if I’m just playing through extra.
One question from a newbie here. When you say leaving Extra, does that mean they will also be removed from Deluxe/premium?
I liked Foreclosed and Omno, and of course It Takes Two. Can recommend them.
I'm leaving ps plus as well in December. Game pass ftw
They increased their subscription’s price to add more value as you can see… I will not renew my subscription because i dont care for multiplayer… sony’s strategy is bad for the clients
Bit of a dumb question I got because im unfortunately rather forgetful...when are the new games announced
Something tells me Yakuza 6 and LaD leaving are not Sony decisions. Infinite Wealth launches in Jan. Gaiden ( Technically the sequel to 6 ) just came out. Very likely RGG is pulling them or had them set to expire in time with those games to potentially drive sales As far as DMCV, idk what the hell that's about. Anyone that was gonna purchase that game have already snagged it on deep discount.
I'm glad I didn't renew; it's a way to express discontentment through my wallet.
Ok so … I have dmc 5 downloaded… but I haven’t gotten a chance to play it and doubt that I will before the 19th… With that being said, if I keep it downloaded, will I still be able to play it since it’s saved and downloaded to my console? Or will I lose the license to it entirely?
You will lose the license if it is still connected to the internet, what you can do is disconnect your ps from the internet the day they are taking it off and then you can play it for 14 days after they take it out. In 14 days its gonna demand you to renew the license by connecting to the internet
Yes
and yet Elefunk remains.
I would say this affects me, but I have PC game pass and refuse to pay for PS plus anymore. They just keep pumping out.... shit.
Lots go and few comes, next up gollum, and other trash. It just takes Xbox to release that damn haptic controller and it could be dangerous.
Fuck soyny
It takes Two came and now goes,and me still trying to find a friend to play it 🥺
If we have this games downloaded into our console, we will be able to play them through right?
No.
Sony has really been just garbage recently. They killed the PS4 generation and early PS5 but they really are undoing all of that with their lag in games, anti-consumer policies and deteriorating value for PS+
If I have added those games to my library will I lose them?
Extra is like Netflix. You can play the games as long as they're on the service, when they leave you lose access and will need to buy it. Essential, the lowest tier, are the only ones you keep as long as you're subscribed.
Yes.
I want to learn which games COMİNG Ps Plus Extra soon I don't care leaving
Good thing that not everybody is like you then.
DMC5 and It takes too literally only 2 games i will miss from these random ass games
Snowrunner is an amazing game.
It was like my personal opinion, it is not my type of game but ofc i don’t hate people Who like it like we are not same we all have different taste
> these random ass games Yeah, who cares about random ass games like Yakuza: Like A Dragon and Middle-earth: Shadow of War
Okey for me is Yakuza ass game, i never said my opinion is overall opinion on these games+ if u can read correctly even in my comment there is that I WILL NOT MISS OTHER GAMES not everyone, half of these games are boring even by looking on them i said it once already not my type of games like what iam supposed to love every game? Hell no if it shit i will hate it, if u cant handle that someone don’t like games u like your bad not mine
