Other notable PS5 titles include Ballistic Moon’s Until Dawn, a less-acclaimed remake based on Supermassive’s 2015 narrative horror, and V Rising, a sandbox action RPG where players control a newly awakened vampire. There’s also Wizard with a Gun, if you’re keen on less serious survival crafting action.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon will also be available for PS5 and PS4 players alongside narrative adventure As Dusk Falls and Poppy Playtime: Chapter 1. Premium subscribers also receive access to classics like Tekken 3, one of the best entries in the series, for both platforms. Strangely enough, Tomb Raider: Anniversary and Soulcalibur 3, also rumored to be added, are missing.

Regardless, stay tuned when these titles go live next week. In the meantime, subscribers of all tiers can experience Alan Wake 2, Goat Simulator 3 and Cocoon.

A remake of Supermassive’s classic, it was released for PS5 and PC in October 2024 to mixed reviews (and the Until Dawn film didn’t do much to bolster interest). You can check out our thoughts here, but alongside low Steam numbers, it reportedly performed worse than Concord on PS5. Developer Ballistic Moon would “effectively” close last March after failing to secure funding (and allegedly pitching another project to Sony).

Of course, there’s apparently even more in store, including As Dusk Falls and V Rising for Extra subscribers. As for PlayStation Classics, available exclusively for Premium subscribers, Tomb Raider: Anniversary, Tekken 3 and Soulcalibur 3 will reportedly be made available. Stay tuned for more updates and the official announcement in the meantime.

Released in 2023 (and winner of our Game of the Year award), Alan Wake 2 follows up on the original by offering two protagonists: Wake and Saga Anderson. The latter is an FBI special agent investigating mysterious murders in Bright Falls and eventually connects with the former. Boasting incredible production values and storytelling, the sequel sold over two million units as of February 2025.

But that’s not all. To celebrate The Last of Us Day on September 26th, PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members can experience The Last of Us Part 2 on PS4 and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on PS5. In terms of PlayStation Classics, Premium members can look forward to the addition of Tekken 3 (PS One), Soulcalibur 3 (PS2) and Tomb Raider: Anniversary (PS2) later this year.

Nanomachines Here, Nanomachines There – Metal Gear Solid 4

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the penultimate conclusion to Solid Snake’s story, offering salvation, damnation, and ultimately redemption. Also, nanomachines. Nanomachines for everything. Nanomachines are needed to utilize the newest generation of weapons. Nanomachines can be manipulated to freak people out, as Liquid Ocelot did to Snake, his own PMC, and Meryl’s crew. Nanomachines can hold off diseases, like Naomi Hunter’s cancer, and they’re even the cause of Vamp’s immortality, allowing him to cheat death on numerous occasions. But you know what? Seeing technology become so invasive in the future, to the extent of becoming a necessity for warfare, was crazy and psychedelic in its own right.

The Elbow – Double Dragon

The Elbow trick is one of the most revered moves in Double Dragon history, particularly because it knocks down enemies faster and does lots of damage. It’s also not a trick – it depends on the number of points one has because that leads to more hearts. With five hearts, you can execute the elbow, smashing foes behind you and knocking them down for those quick, no-death speed-runs.

Sony has now sold more than 500 million units of PlayStation consoles, and of course, it all started with the original PlayStation that came out 25 years ago. To celebrate the success of the original PlayStation, Sony is bringing it back as a new miniature version called the PlayStation Classic, similar to what Nintendo did with the NES, that will be pre-loaded with over 2o classic games, such as Tekken 3, Final Fantasy VII, Wild Arms, and more.

The original PlayStation was the first home console to ever ship more than 100 million units worldwide. Needless to say, the console ensured Sony’s place as one of the leading  manufacturers of video game consoles, so there’s no doubt in our minds that its miniature classic version will do exceedingly well. The PlayStation Classic is now available to pre-order and it will cost $99. The console will also come with an HDMI cable, a USB cable, and two controllers. If you’re excited to get your hands on this console, you won’t have to wait too long, because it will be out on December 3.

You can check out some images of the PlayStation Classic, as well as its announce video, below.

Final Fantasy 7

For many people, this was the reason they bought a PlayStation One. Sure, the CG cutscenes didn’t indicate the amount of turn-based combat that it had but Final Fantasy 7 was still a trail-blazer for its time. It took Japan-developed RPGs into the mainstream, catering to more mature audiences; the graphics were leaps and bounds above any of the SNES Final Fantasy games; and the story of Cloud and Sephiroth remains etched in gaming history. Oh and Final Fantasy 7 is also a pretty robust, insanely involving, highly entertaining RPG in its own right as well.
