Look, I’m not saying PlayStation Plus is bad value. Especially not this month: it’s pretty smashing, actually. As well as compelling cat simulator, Stray, we’ve got Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, Marvel’s Avengers, five Assassin’s Creed titles, and two Saints Row titles coming in hot.
But where PS Plus Extra fans are dancing in the streets with their feline friends on Day One of the game’s release, PS Plus Premium subscribers are looking at their dedicated little section of the PS5 UI and going ‘…oh’. In the US and UK, the highest – most expensive – tier of Sony’s revamped monthly service offers only two additional PSP games this month.
You may well be fans of No Heroes Allowed and LocoRoco Midnight Carnival, and rightly so – they’re great games in their own right! – but Sony inferred that we’d be getting substantially more than this at the highest tier of the service.
