PSN Store “PlayStation Plus Exclusive Discounts” Sale Starts Today; Helldivers 2 the “Deal of the Week”

Complete list of games: https://mp1st.com/news/psn-store-playstation-plus-exclusive-discounts-sale-starts-today-helldivers-2-the-deal-of-the-week

As the sale title implies, you need to be an active PS Plus member to get the discounts. Biggest news here is Helldivers 2 is on sale for 20 off (you don't need to be a PS Plus member to get it).

Loads of Ubisoft games discounted. Not a lot of games on sale, which is understandable since I am assuming Sony is gearing up for a big 30th anniversary sale soon.

Recommendations:

  • Helldivers 2 - Deal of the Week (-20%, $31.99) - The first time this game is on sale. Definitely worth it especially if you have non-douchey friends who will help you co-op the enemies and not leave you alone to fend on your own.

  • F1 24 Champion Edition (-40%, $53.99) - Can't say the bonuses are worth it. If you dig F1, then this is a no-brainer.

  • Sea of Thieves Deluxe Edition (-40%, $29.99) - Over 1 million players can't be wrong, right? Pirate game without needing a peg leg. If you seek an alternative to Skull and Bones. Still heavily supported.

  • AC Valhalla + Immortals Fenyx Rising Bundle (-75%, $22.49) - Not a bad deal given Valhall isn't a bad game by any means but just a tad too long for its own good.

  • AC Valhalla + Watch Dogs Legion Bundle (-70%, $21.99) - Same as the one above, not a bad deal. But might drive too much open-world Ubi into your brains where you'll see markers everywhere.

  • Watch Dogs 1 + 2 Golds Editions (-85%, $13.49) - Not a bad deal, though can't say if gameplay holds up to this day.

  • Hell Let Loose Ultimate Edition (-50%, $34.99) - Includes a bunch of DLCs though not sure if worth it for the extra items. Era FPS that's still supported on consoles and PC.

  • Dredge Digital Deluxe (-40%, $16.19) - People who dig Lovecraftian monsters, this is for you. Deceptively grim game.

  • Far Cry Anthology Bundle (-75%, $37.49) - This bundle include Far Cry 3, 4, 5, 6. Dip your toes into the Far Cry pool in one go!

  • Metro 2033 Redux (-85%, $2.99) - First Metro game from 4A, and this one adds graphical enhancements to the original game.

  • Metro Last Light Redux (-85%, $2.99)  - Adds all the DLC and graphical improvements

  • Skull Island: Rise of Kong (-65%, $13.99) - Not worth the buy, but in case you want to torture someone on how a giant ape game can be boring.

  • Blasphemous + Blasphemous 2 Bundle (-40%, $26.99) - Metroidvania game(s). Heard good things about this but I haven't played it.

  • Ultros Deluxe Edition (-40%, $20.99) - Another Metroidvania that garnered favorable reviews when it was released this year.

  • Kingdom Come Deliverance (-90%, $3.99) - Action RPG. Expect action, intrigue and bugs. Might be time to bite in time for the sequel.

  • Rainbow Six Siege Operation Edition (-65%, $27.99) - Includes about 50 operators from the previous years ready for you to make some noise and mess things up for your team. Still very much supported with quarterly seasons.

  • Insurgency Sandstorm Gold Edition (-50%, $34.99) - Comes with Year 1 Pass. Multiplayer tactical FPS. This is not Call of Duty. Not sure on support, but this had a ton of updates previously. Still a tad too pricey for it, but in case you want a military FPS that's not COD. This does not have a campaign but more on PvP or squad up with friends in co-op objectives.

  • Castle Crashers Remastered (-80%, $2.99) - Played this at launch and an awesome co-op game. Cartoony graphics but harder than it looks.

  • Cities: Skylines (-85%, $14.99) - City building game. Price includes a load of DLC. Might be worth the pickup since the sequel's console release just went MIA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PS Plus Collection Available on PS4?

No, it's a PS5 exclusive. Any rumours about it being available on PS4 is hearsay as of now.

Is this seperate to the regular PS+ service, do you have to pay extra?

This is included in the existing PS+ subscription. Whether Sony decide to increase the price, remains to be seen but for now, it is an added bonus for PS5 players.

Do the games include any DLC/addons?

The games will be as if they are monthly games, in that sense, they are base games so games like Bloodborne will not be GOTY edition, Persona 5 will be the initial release (not the Royale version) or Monster Hunter World will not include Iceborne DLC.

Are the games PS5 enhanced?

No information has been released to confirm this.

Is this a limited time offer?

Sony didn't say it is so we can assume it will be on-going promo at least in the initial launch window.

---

Hopefully Sony continues to support the PS4 for a little while longer but if you're getting a PS5 in November, enjoy the collection!

New PlayStation Plus SCEE Region Launch (inc. EU, UK, AU, NZ, IN, Middle East) | Info & FAQ Thread

The new PlayStation Plus is finally rolling out in the SCEE region over the coming hours (exact times for individual regions are unknown instead Sony has given us a range of the launch starting today to the end of tomorrow, 23rd June).

23rd June update: Switchover completed.

ONGOING ISSUES:

  • PC streaming app does not show all games available to stream

  • Some users have reported not being able to access the games on PC app at all

  • Some games are locked out to Premium tier when they shouldn't be

  • When upgrading to Extra or Premium, some users cannot access PS+ at all including Essential tier

For these cases, it would be best to contact support if you can't get help on the subreddit (use the search tool as a lot of these posts repeat themselves). At least they will know these are issues on their end and they need to fix it.

If you haven't already, you should receive an email from Sony to confirm your own switchover details if you have an existing subscription.

When it is completed, on your console, you should get a notification to indicate this and/or a PS+ app will appear on the main screen.

A summary of what information is available is given below via PlayStation blog/website as well as our sub wiki. The full games catalog can be found here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1) If I subscribe to PlayStation Plus, what will happen to my membership when the service changes?

A1) If your membership does not expire before the service changes, you will be migrated into a new PlayStation Plus membership plan that retains all of the features and benefits and you have paid for with PlayStation Plus.

Q2) I’m a PlayStation Plus member. What will happen to my subscription when the new PlayStation Plus launches?

A2) When the new service launches, your membership will roll into PlayStation Plus Essential and you will retain access to the same PlayStation Plus benefits you enjoy today. Your recurring membership fee and payment date will remain the same as well.

Q3) If I am subscribed to both PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now, what happens to my subscriptions and payment date?

A3) If you are subscribed to both services when the new PlayStation Plus launches, you will be migrated into the PlayStation Plus Premium membership plan and you will have a new single payment date based on the longer of your two subscriptions. You will be notified via email of your new payment date and subscription fee.

Q4) I have a lot of pre-paid (stacked) time left on my membership. Will I get to keep that after the new service launches?

A4) Yes, you will get to keep all of your pre-paid time within the new service.

Q5) How can I upgrade my PlayStation Plus membership to PlayStation Plus Extra or PlayStation Plus Premium?

A5) When the new PlayStation Plus membership plans launch, you will be able to upgrade to a plan with more features and benefits. When you upgrade you will be charged a pro-rated fee to level up the remaining time on your existing membership to the desired level. For example, if you purchased a 12-month membership five months ago and have seven months left, you will need to pay a pro-rated upgrade fee to upgrade your remaining seven months to the desired plan level. Then on your next payment date, you will be charged for the standard price of the membership plan level that you upgraded to at your current payment frequency.

Q6) I am an existing PlayStation Plus and/or PlayStation Now member. Why do I get an error message when I try to add time to my membership either by purchasing more time on the PlayStation Store on console/web/app, or by applying a membership voucher?

A6) As we prepare to launch the new PlayStation Plus membership service, we are doing some work behind the scenes to make the transition as smooth as possible for all of our existing members. As part of this work, we’ve temporarily disabled stacking memberships for existing customers until after the launch. Rest assured that your voucher code is still valid, and you will be able to redeem your code either when your existing membership expires and deactivates, or after the new PlayStation Plus service launches in your area, whichever happens first.

Q7) I have a PlayStation Plus or PlayStation Now 1-month, 3-month or 12-month membership voucher. What will happen if I redeem it before the new PlayStation Plus service launches?

A7)

  • If you are not a current member of the service the voucher is for, you can redeem your voucher using PS4, PS5, Web and Mobile App. Click here for instructions. If you join PlayStation Plus and still have an active membership when the new PlayStation Plus service launches, you will transition into PlayStation Plus Essential. If you join PlayStation Now and still have an active membership when the new PlayStation Plus service launches, you will automatically migrate to the PlayStation Plus Premium.

  • If you currently have a PlayStation Plus or PlayStation Now membership, due to changes we are making to the service prior to launch, you won’t be able to redeem a voucher code for that service until your existing membership expires and deactivates, or after the new PlayStation Plus service launches in your area, whichever happens first. Rest assured that your voucher code is still valid. See next question for further information.

Q8) I have a PlayStation Plus or PlayStation Now 1-month, 3-month or 12-month membership voucher. What will happen if I redeem it after the new PlayStation Plus service launches?

A8)

If you do not have an active membership:

  • The PlayStation Plus voucher you redeem will provide you access to PlayStation Plus Essential for the length of time denoted on your original voucher. For example, a one-month PlayStation Plus voucher will provide access to one month of PlayStation Plus Essential.

  • The PlayStation Now voucher you redeem will provide you access to PlayStation Plus Premium for the length of time equivalent to the monetary value of your original voucher. For example, a one-month PlayStation Now voucher will provide access to approximately 3 weeks of PlayStation Plus Premium. See conversion chart here for details.

If you are an existing customer:

  • The PlayStation Plus or PlayStation Now voucher you redeem will be converted to a length of time on your current PlayStation Plus membership plan equivalent to the monetary value of the voucher you are redeeming. For example, a 1-month PlayStation Plus voucher will provide access to approximately 3 weeks of PlayStation Plus Extra or approximately 2.5 weeks of PlayStation Plus Premium. See conversion chart here for details.

Q9) How often will new titles be introduced to the new PlayStation Plus service?

A9) Games will continue to refresh monthly with the all-new PlayStation Plus service, so there is always something new to play. In keeping with our normal cadence for PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now, the refreshes will occur twice monthly. Please check PlayStation.Blog for the latest monthly game announcements.

PlayStation Plus Essential

A monthly refresh will occur on the first Tuesday of the month for the PlayStation Plus Essential plan (and both higher tiers), with new PS4 and PS5 games every month – same as what PlayStation Plus members get today.

PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium/Deluxe

Another monthly refresh will occur in the middle of the month with new games across PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium/Deluxe plans. The number of games refreshed will vary per month.

Q10) What devices can I use to play games with the new PlayStation Plus membership?

A10) The new PlayStation Plus is currently supported on the following devices:

  • PlayStation 5 console – streaming and game downloads

  • PlayStation 4 console – streaming and game downloads

  • PC – streaming only

PlayStation Plus monthly games that were previously downloaded on PS3 and PS Vita devices will continue to remain accessible as long as the user remains a PlayStation Plus member.

Q11) Will original PlayStation and PSP games from the PlayStation Plus classic game catalog offer trophies?

A11) Some original PlayStation and PSP titles may offer trophies such as Ape Escape, Hot Shots Golf, IQ Intelligent Qube, and Syphon Filter. This feature is optional for developers.

Q12) With this service change, will I have to redownload any games that were previously acquired via PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now?

Q12) For PlayStation Plus games you have previously redeemed to your PSN account, those games will still remain as part of your game library as long as you are a PlayStation Plus member. There are no changes to your PlayStation Plus benefits.

For games you’ve previously downloaded from PlayStation Now’s game catalog, if the titles are also available for PlayStation Plus, you can continue to play and your progress will continue to save. Similar to PlayStation Now, if the content is no longer offered on PlayStation Plus, you won’t be able to access the titles when they leave the service. If the title is available on PlayStation Store and you decide to purchase it, you’ll be able to access your save data again – just make sure you don’t delete your saved data.

Q13) I'm seeing "14 days remaining" on games I downloaded, what's happening?

A13) This is most likely a validation check on the game license and should resolve itself eventually. However you can try to restore licenses if it concerns you but it should be an non-issue.



Great games on PlayStation Plus that DON’T have you on the edge of your seat 24/7?

Great games on PlayStation Plus that DON’T have you on the edge of your seat 24/7?

Do you guys have any suggestions for great games on PS Plus that don’t have you at the edge of your seat 24/7?

I’ve recently tried Returnal, Days Gone, and GTA V, and I’ve liked them all (especially Returnal and Days Gone), but I find them too stressful to play a lot. Returnal has amazing feeling controls, but I just expect to get attacked all the time. Days Gone, I can’t do anything without worrying about being attacked by freakers or wolves, or running out of gas or weapons/ammo. GTA V is fine when you’re not doing missions, but then I feel like I have to keep doing vehicle chases and shootouts which is stressful.

I like to play video games to have an entertaining way to unwind, not to make me more stressed.

Games I’ve loved:

  • God of War (2018)

  • Ghost of Tsushima

  • Stray

  • Disco Elysium

  • Miles Morales

  • Uncharted 4

Games I’ve tried and either didn’t care for or dropped:

  • Horizon Zero Dawn (boring, repetitive, didn’t like story)

  • Rachet & Clank: Rift Apart (was fun at times but got too chaotic and all over the place, repetitive combat)

  • Demon’s Souls (loved the challenge at first but quickly got sick of having to start over and over and over)

Thank you in advance!



PlayStation Plus and PS Now have merged for some players. Project Spartacus incoming?

PlayStation Plus and PS Now have merged for some players. Project Spartacus incoming?

https://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2022/03/04/playstation-plus-and-ps-now-merge-for-some/

"The rumors of an imminent reveal for Project Spartacus are looking increasingly like being correct after some PS4 and PS5 players have reported complimentary PS Now subscriptions being added onto their PlayStation Plus memberships. Others have reported existing memberships changing their name, suggesting a merge into a new service could be coming soon."

"Reports from several NeoGaf users have claimed those who take out a new PlayStation Plus subscription, or who renew an existing subscription, are getting a free PlayStation Now subscription for the same duration. For example, those who take out a 12 month PS Plus subscription are also receiving a 12 month PS Now subscription for no extra cost."

"Other players who already have subscriptions to both services are reporting that there seems to be a bug with their names. When looking at their subscription options, they’re seeing two subscriptions to PlayStation Plus instead of individual subscriptions to PS Plus and PS Now. However, those who are only currently subscribed to one or the other and who haven’t renewed their subscriptions are seeing no change."

"IGN Italia decided to perform an experiment on a profile with an existing PS Plus membership but no PS Now subscription. After purchasing a month of PS Now, they found they instead received a far lengthier subscription that expired at the same time as their existing PS Plus membership. However, they also clarified that these changes could potentially just be a bug with the PlayStation Store. They also seem to lean into speculation that Sony’s answer to Xbox Game Pass, Project Spartacus, will be revealed soon. The new service is expected to be unveiled at a State of Play show later this month, although Sony is yet to confirm anything."

PSA: You do not need playstation plus to play any free to play game online.

This includes fortnite, H1z1, warframe, etc.

If you have plus, from time to time free to play games will offer a plus exclusive avatar, weapon, or early unlock credits for the game. Depends on the game of course.

I am posting this as not many people seem to know this. Perhaps because this is not true for xbox so its assumed it is the same for playstation.

I will also add: Without plus you can still join/create a party and message People. On xbox you need gold for party chat.

Ok, clearly there is confusion with some people. A free to play game is a game that costs no money to download and play. Free to play does not include free playstation plus games. You need your ps+ subscription active to continue playing the free games that come with the subscription.

  • If you currently have a PlayStation Plus or PlayStation Now membership, due to changes we are making to the service prior to launch, you won’t be able to redeem a voucher code for that service until your existing membership expires and deactivates, or after the new PlayStation Plus service launches in your area, whichever happens first. Rest assured that your voucher code is still valid. See next question for further information.

Q8) I have a PlayStation Plus or PlayStation Now 1-month, 3-month or 12-month membership voucher. What will happen if I redeem it after the new PlayStation Plus service launches?

A8)

If you do not have an active membership:

  • The PlayStation Plus voucher you redeem will provide you access to PlayStation Plus Essential for the length of time denoted on your original voucher. For example, a one-month PlayStation Plus voucher will provide access to one month of PlayStation Plus Essential.

  • The PlayStation Now voucher you redeem will provide you access to PlayStation Plus Premium for the length of time equivalent to the monetary value of your original voucher. For example, a one-month PlayStation Now voucher will provide access to approximately 3 weeks of PlayStation Plus Premium. See conversion chart here for details.

If you are an existing customer:

  • The PlayStation Plus or PlayStation Now voucher you redeem will be converted to a length of time on your current PlayStation Plus membership plan equivalent to the monetary value of the voucher you are redeeming. For example, a 1-month PlayStation Plus voucher will provide access to approximately 3 weeks of PlayStation Plus Extra or approximately 2.5 weeks of PlayStation Plus Premium. See conversion chart here for details.

Q9) How often will new titles be introduced to the new PlayStation Plus service?

A9) Games will continue to refresh monthly with the all-new PlayStation Plus service, so there is always something new to play. In keeping with our normal cadence for PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now, the refreshes will occur twice monthly. Please check PlayStation.Blog for the latest monthly game announcements.

PlayStation Plus Essential

A monthly refresh will occur on the first Tuesday of the month for the PlayStation Plus Essential plan (and both higher tiers), with new PS4 and PS5 games every month – same as what PlayStation Plus members get today.

PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium/Deluxe

Another monthly refresh will occur in the middle of the month with new games across PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium/Deluxe plans. The number of games refreshed will vary per month.

Q10) What devices can I use to play games with the new PlayStation Plus membership?

A10) The new PlayStation Plus is currently supported on the following devices:

  • PlayStation 5 console – streaming and game downloads

  • PlayStation 4 console – streaming and game downloads

  • PC – streaming only

PlayStation Plus monthly games that were previously downloaded on PS3 and PS Vita devices will continue to remain accessible as long as the user remains a PlayStation Plus member.

Q11) Will original PlayStation and PSP games from the PlayStation Plus classic game catalog offer trophies?

Some original PlayStation and PSP titles may offer trophies such as Ape Escape, Hot Shots Golf, IQ Intelligent Qube, and Syphon Filter. This feature is optional for developers.

Q12) With this service change, will I have to redownload any games that were previously acquired via PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now?

For PlayStation Plus games you have previously redeemed to your PSN account, those games will still remain as part of your game library as long as you are a PlayStation Plus member. There are no changes to your PlayStation Plus benefits.

For games you’ve previously downloaded from PlayStation Now’s game catalog, if the titles are also available for PlayStation Plus, you can continue to play and your progress will continue to save. Similar to PlayStation Now, if the content is no longer offered on PlayStation Plus, you won’t be able to access the titles when they leave the service. If the title is available on PlayStation Store and you decide to purchase it, you’ll be able to access your save data again – just make sure you don’t delete your saved data.

Playstation Plus 2021 Mid Year Review - Which was the best month of PS Plus for you so far?

Tough choice between March and April months for me but I'll go with the zombie month.
Days Gone was a wonderful surprise to be a Plus game so early in the year.
Zombie Army 4 is an absolute blast and best if you want a break from long hours of any single player game you're currently playing.

Q) I have an existing subscription to a higher tier than the subscription I want to buy, can I downgrade?

A) Unfortunately, no. You have to wait until it expires or you will need to purchase the same tier you have already.

Q) Which shops can I buy PSN credit from?

A) This is entirely dependent on where you live and if you're going to ask here, make sure you specify which country you're in. If there aren't any official authorised resellers in that country you will have to rely on grey key/privates resellers such as CDKeys.

You have to do your own research on these merchants (there's a bit of information in the FAQ about CDK as well as countless posts if you do a quick search). Note that most links to such sites and openly buying/selling from individuals are banned here.

Q) Can I buy and stack several subscriptions?

A) Yes, if they are the same tier as the one you current have. It's mentioned in the banner on the sales page. There is no known maximum limit.

Q) Do I keep games on Extra or higher tiers?

A) No, once your subscription ends or the games leave the service, you lose access to the games unless you buy them outright.

Q) My payment for PSN wallet/PS+ isn't going through, what can I do?

A) Other than making sure you're entering the right information, your billing address is correct and your bank/credit card company isn't blocking the payment, there's not much anyone here can do. Contact PSN support if possible or use an alternative payment method.

Q) Can I save the PS+ subscription for a later date?

A) No, as soon as you make a plan purchase, the clock starts ticking. There are no codes to redeem later.

Q) Can I buy PS+ giftcards from online or physical shops?

A) Some shops may offer PS+ cards (Argos in the UK do for Essential and Extra - these are essentially PSN wallet gift cards rather than subscription cards) but in general, most shops have not stocked these cards since the June revamp. Check them yourself when they do their own sales.

Q) Will there be more sales later on?

A) Only Sony can answer that for certain but if we check what they normally do, they run another discount sometime in mid-December in the run-up to Christmas for new subscribers and also in other holidays such as Lunar New Year (Playful Festival) as well as other times. No guarantees though.

Bonus question:

Q) I was playing Mafia/RDR2/Greedfall/Extra Game and now I can't play it! Why?

A) If you played them on Extra, check if they are still on the Extra Games Catalog. It's mostly for NA but use this sheet to check which games have left (and do so in the future).

Q) I see the above games still in the Extra catalog?

A) It's a visual bug, when you try and download it, it will ask you to purchase the game.

PlayStation Plus 2022 Mid Year Review - Which was the best month of PS Plus for you so far?

Best month for me was January. I was still having fun with Dirt 5 occasionally before the new PS Plus dropped. Also had a great time with DRG but not playing it that much now.
Worst month was April for me. Only added Spongebob and Slay and did not bother to try them out.
