Sony is touting improved frame rates and higher-quality resolution for some titles. Certain PS One and PSP titles will also have a new UI that allows for saving at any time and even rewinding to fix mistakes.
Those who have purchased the digital versions of PS One and PSP titles also won’t have to separately purchase or subscribe to PS Plus to play them on PS4 and PS5. Simply head to the PlayStation Store and download these versions for no additional cost. Some titles can also be purchased individually.
The final benefit of PlayStation Plus Premium is time-limited game trials. These are two hour long trials with the timer only counting down while in-game. Trophies unlocked and progress made will transfer over into the full game if you decide to purchase. Some of the titles that will have trials include:
PlayStation Studios
- Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection | Naughty Dog, PS5
- Horizon Forbidden West | Guerrilla Games, PS4/PS5
Third Party Partners
- Cyberpunk 2077 | CD Projekt, PS5
- Farming Simulator 22 | Giants Software GmBH, PS4/PS5
- Tiny Tina’s Wonderland | 2K Games, PS4/PS5
- WWE 2K22 | 2K Games, PS4/PS5
PlayStation Plus Premium will be available for $17.99 per month, $49.99 per quarter, and $119.99 per 12 months. It launches first on May 24th for Asia, followed by Japan on June 2nd. North and South America get it on June 13th while Europe, Australia and New Zealand can subscribe on June 23rd.
