I just got a Christmas bonus from work. I was going to skip the PS5, but I figured this is found money.

I was able to go into Target and get the God of War bundle.

What subscription do I get to get access to Returnal and Demon's Souls?

PS+ Extra.

Premium is only woth it if you are interested in streaming games.
 
Be on the look out, there's supposed to be a $30 off deal going on for PS sub plans.

I'd reco the mid tier plan. But the premium tier has legacy system games, PC streaming access (if you care about PC streaming). The other key feature about the pemium plan is trials, which going by the forum is shit.
 
Premium has a couple PS3 remasters that are only on that tier (Uncharted, God of War 3, Heavy Rain) if you aren't interested in those just get extra.

Extra. Thanks folks. Streaming isn't a big deal for me, as I already have ultimate game pass. I only want to play the exclusives on the platform, or via remote play.

If that's the case then it's simple.

Subscribe to nothing, buy the games as and when you want to play them, wait for sales if necessary.
 
Neither technically. Both games are available on disk. Buy one, beat it, then sell it off. The other will probably end up on sale at some point in the interim.
 
Buy Premium and suffer with the rest of us.

my condolences.

get the basic one if you want to play online. honestly, the offering of the other packages to me is at least not worth it. if you are not going to play online on the PS5 then do not bother.
 
Extra if you have no games.

Btw can I just say how stupid the name Playstation Plus Extra is.
Given the meaning of Plus & Extra 😐

PS+ Extra is the best bang for your buck. Premium might be worth it for you if you don't mind streaming games, and don't already own most of the stuff that comes with that tier.
 
Plus Extra.

You'll save a fuck ton if money if you just wish to once over some games.

Demon Souls remake, Spider Man Miles Morales, Returnal, Death Loop, Stray.

I'm not going to lie here bud, ^ That is what you want to go thru first as that will cost you much more money to buy used, then the whole service itself and you get a few next gen only titles out of it. Thats why I actually got it btw lol

I was going to buy Demon Souls used and Returnal and realized the price was much more when I add up a year of Essentials and realized PS Extra makes a lot of sense for those titles. If I keep it next year is in the air tbh.

Nothing against Premium, but as a huge PS Fan...I already own a shit load of those games and I don't get the whole craze about that shit as....if someone really, really cared about those old games, they'd still have their old systems to play it or something, so imho its not worth it for most, but if someone didn't grow up with those titles and wants to check it out, it can't hurt.

Tis not for the hardcore, we beat that shit when it came out lol

Fuck subscriptions.

lolz

They are great if someone is just going to do a once over on a few titles to save em some money. Beyond that, I'll say next year for me is a big test to see if I'll keep it.

I think even Gamefly might be a better deal for those who are about that once over life. It has all the latest AAA games, you can beat games on your time and not have to worry what is leaving or not, Garnett Lee, affordable, supports many platforms.
 
I spent $70 for a years worth of Extra. My ps5 came with God of War. Here's what I downloaded:

Demon's Souls
Stray
Death Stranding DC
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Interspecies Erotica
Returnal
Spider Man Miles Morales
Ghost of Tsushima
Chicory
Biomutant

Now that seems like a game I can get behind.

I don't see that version available to download though.

There's not a lot of exclusives on PS+ Extra. Just subscribe for one month, play what's there, then don't renew.

if this is all you want, just get those two games and own them, or sell the entire package afterwards. Plenty of people having no access to a PS5 and would want it for far more games.

PS Plus collection is otherwise a nice start collection.
Essential are a couple of random games each month.
Extra and Premium is listed here: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/ps-plus/games/
The list sucks though and seems never up to date. Mafia and RDR eg is not included anymore.
https://www.pushsquare.com/guides/all-ps-plus-games might be better, but also not always everything correct.
"Premium is a scam" clowns clearly have no idea what a scam is, since Metro, Crysis, SF IV, Last of Us Remastered, Outcast, Lumines Remastered, Darksider Warmastered + Deathinitive and a ton of streamed games and some older games are only found there but to each his own blind outrage.
