If you’ve got a PlayStation Plus membership and the ability to connect to a PlayStation 5 (a system that’s becoming increasingly common these days), it’s worth noting that Sony is offering free access to a number of outstanding PS4 titles. If you haven’t already done so, you’ll need to act fast, as the PS Plus Collection expires on 9 May.
This weekend is your last chance to get your hands on 19 key first-party and third-party titles from the collection. You’ll have access to the titles you claim from the collection on both PS4 and PS5 as long as you remain a subscriber, similar to how Sony gives monthly games to all PS Plus subscribers.
You will need to claim them on a PS5 console, not a PS4 or the online version of the PlayStation Store. To do this, go to the Benefits section of the PS Plus tab. The PS Plus Collection titles are as follows:
- Batman: Arkham Knight
- Battlefield 1
- Bloodborne
- Call of Duty: Black Ops III (Zombies Chronicles Edition)
- Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
- Days Gone
- Detroit: Become Human
- Fallout 4
- Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition
- God of War (2018)
- Infamous Second Son
- The Last Guardian
- The Last of Us Remastered
- Monster Hunter World
- Mortal Kombat X
- Ratchet and Clank
- Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
- Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End
- Until Dawn
There’s something for almost everyone on this list, but it got a little shorter in May when Sony pulled Persona 5. The Last of Us, God of War, Bloodborne and Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End are some of the most popular PlayStation titles (although all but Bloodborne are now available on PC). Some titles, such as God of War and Ratchet and Clank, have been updated to be PS5 compatible.
It’s worth noting that most of the titles in the collection are also available to PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra subscribers, making the Essential plan a better deal. Sony, on the other hand, has started to rotate some of its first-party titles out of the Premium and Extra libraries. If you claim the PS Plus Collection games immediately, you will have permanent access to them – as long as you continue to pay for your subscription, of course.
