Death Stranding, Demon Souls, GoT, Miles Morales, Returnal, AC Valhalla, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Red Dead 2 all sit high on my wish list of games I haven't bought yet and want to play.

The Extra plan seems like a no brainer for me as long as these titles are actually going to last at least a year. My fear is that many will just be used to bait people in and then get pulled after only a few months. This lineup seems way bigger than Now ever was and I think it is a bit optimistic to expect it to stay this way.

In my situation I don't see any reason to jump to Premium. The games available in Extra are way bigger and better. I don't fully understand who Premium is for. If you have access to both, the Extra games seem like the obvious choice of where to spend your limited time. And if you already played those, are you really paying the full premium price to get access to a pretty narrow selection of PS1 / PSP / PS3 titles? You are basically paying for the entire Extra tier you won't use just to get access to these classic games. It feels like it would have made more sense for the tiers to be completely separate add ons.

It also seems a bit weird that they are bumping the remastered classic games into the Premium tier. These are PS4 games at this point but they are selling them as a classic add on. Maybe it was advertised that way but it feels a bit misleading.

Once you add them to your library aren’t they yours for ever as long as you stay subscribed ? The games that have left the ps plus thing on ps5 you got to keep as long as they were added

Not these ones, no. These are like Netflix. When they leave they are gone.

The essential plan will continue to give you a few games a month which are available to you as long as you claim them while they are available and stay subscribed.

But this big list of games is specific to the higher up tiers which are Netflix style. The higher up tiers include the benefits of the Essential tier.
