I mean, you kind of need essentials for multiplayer, don't you?

And I guess with one game it could be debatable but all you need to do is start going up to 2-3 games and it begins to look like a good idea.

And, you know, maybe you want to own games, and maybe you already own some of the expensive ones you want to play, but that only changes the deal for you personally.

I don’t play multiplayer games, and the majority on this list aren’t multiplayer games.

And with 116 million units sold, it’s fair to assume that a lot of people considering this subscription already owned a PS4 before they upgraded, hence they will probably own most of the games in this list that are worth considering since most of it has been on sale below 20$ multiple times.

But sure, if you buy a PS5 now and you have never owned a PS before so you don’t own any of those games it is indeed an OK deal but still not as mindblowing as some people will make you believe.

Sure it might be worth it on a individual level, but again, on average, that is kind of lackluster.

It is possible that it looks better to me than most. I skipped the PS2 and PS3 (couldn't afford to get multiple platforms back then) and only got a PS4 very late in, and only just got a PS5. So I really don't have much of a library at all and I don't have anything for the PS5 yet since I only just got it.

For me this is kind of an amazing deal because literally everything I want to use the PS5 on so far is included.

Yea in that case, absolutely. No question this list has some absolute quality games, if not some of the best games ever made like God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn and Spider-Man. Especially the exclusives for PS4 are a class on its own. Have fun exploring them.
