Sony Interactive Entertainment has revealed which games are coming to the middle tier of PlayStation Plus, and which title is being added to the most expensive subscription tier.
Yesterday, we reported that Billbil-kun had listed the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, which is available to PlayStation Plus Extra and PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers. The rumor (which could be treated as semi-official information, given how consistently accurate the leaker tends to be ahead of formal announcements) claimed that Dragon’s Dogma II would not be included, and that the lineup would instead feature Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2, Metal Eden, Persona 5 Royal, Madden NFL 26, Astroneer, and The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria.
Well, yesterday afternoon Sony officially revealed the list – and it’s exactly that lineup, with the missing pieces filled in. Here’s what subscribers on the higher tiers can expect: Astroneer (PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4), Blasphemous II (PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4), EA Sports Madden NFL 26 (PlayStation 5), The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria (PlayStation 5), Metal Eden (PlayStation 5), Persona 5 Royal (PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4), Persona 5 Royal Ultimate Edition (PlayStation 4), and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II (PlayStation 5). So the two things Billbil-kun didn’t mention were Blasphemous II and Persona 5 Royal Ultimate Edition. Since his lists are almost always incomplete, it’s no surprise a title – and an expanded edition – slipped through.
And yes, there’s also a new addition for the PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog, available to PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers: the PSP title Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection (PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4). That’s not really news, though, because Sony already confirmed back in February that this would be March’s Classics drop at this tier, and that Time Crisis will follow in May.
So yes: it’s a weak list, and the “one classic a month” approach for PlayStation Plus Premium is still laughable. People paying for the top tier deserve a lot more than this.
