PS Plus Tiers Explained: Essential, Extra & Premium
PS Plus Tiers Explained: Essential, Extra & Premium
PS Plus comes in three tiers that differ in benefits: Essential for the basics, Extra adds a large game library, and Premium adds classic games and trials. Pick based on how you play, and pay easily with a PlayStation card.
What's the difference?
- Essential: online multiplayer, monthly free games, cloud saves, and store discounts.
- Extra: everything in Essential + a downloadable library of 400+ PS4 and PS5 games.
- Premium: everything in Extra + classic games (PS1/PS2/PSP), PS3 game streaming, and time-limited trials. In some regions without PS3 streaming, the top tier is called Deluxe.
Which one suits you?
- Play online and just want the free games? Essential.
- Want a huge library and play regularly? Extra (best value for most players).
- Love classics and trials? Premium / Deluxe.
