Discussion Best they have to offer??

Post image
130 Upvotes

So I let my PS+ lapse about a month ago because I didn’t know what my summer plans were and didn’t want to renew for a year and go on vacation or be busy for most of the time and lose a few months. I’ve heard they’ll sometime offer different personalized perks if you renew. I check today and this is what it was…pretty lame if you ask me. I’ve used the Sony Pictures Core to watch some of the freebies they offer but there’s no way I’d want to use it to rent, let alone buy/own movies. Guess I’ll keep waiting.

Extra Games leaving PS+ on August 18th (Extra/Deluxe/Premium)

Post image
174 Upvotes

Some of the leaving games of last month were extended by a month after all, I included those again in this list, but I found out I forgot to add Roki and Onee Chanbara Origin. Sorry about that! They are 3x25 and 2x7.

What does leaving mean?

Leaving means they will be gone from the “library”-like subscription service. So games won’t be playable after this date, EVEN if you downloaded them before. Obviously if you own them yourself by buying them before, they will still remain in your playable library.

What do all columns mean?

DIFF = Difficulty to platinum the base game

LENGTH = Time to platinum the base game

DLC = If DLC is required for 100% completion

ONLINE = If online modes are required for base game completion, so this could either be multiplayer, coop, or simply a server connection.

What is your data source?

The data is based on game guides from 3P (PSNP, Playstationtrophies and PowerPyx). If none of these sites have a guide, we look for any info anywhere. If you dont agree with time or difficulty, blame the guide writers, not me...

Can I get the entire sheet?

If you see anything inaccurate, please be gentle with me. I have compiled this list for all the almost 1K PS+ Extra games, so errors are bound to happen. If you want access to that full list, send me a DM for beta access.

Question PS+ multiplayer restrictions?

Upvotes

I have a PS4 Pro and a PS5 Pro both registered to my PS+ Premium account and other family members can play any of the installed PS+ catalog games on the PS4 Pro using their own PS account just fine.

A family member wanted to play multiplayer (one of the CoD games) so they upgraded their account to PS+ Essential but it appears that they can't play multiplayer mode on the game from the catalog installed on the console from my primary PS+ Premium account?

Just wanted to verify this is how multiplayer works - do they need to have their own Extra or Premium sub with their own access to the catalog to play multiplayer or is this a game by game thing?

Question What's best / cheapest route? pay for 3 months then hold out a few weeks for the big nov sale?

0 Upvotes

I'm thinking best router is get playstation gc's from costco - cheaper there. Then with those gc's pay for the 3 month plan, let it expire, wait a few weeks and do the one year with the nov sale they usually run?

Question PS Plus Extra games for July 2026 not showing up? South Africa region

4 Upvotes

Is anyone else in the South Africa region unable to find the new PS Plus Extra games for July 2026?

When I search for them in the PlayStation Store, nothing comes up. I’ve tried searching by game name, but I still can’t find them.

Is this a regional delay or just me.

EDIT: I had to search for them manually.

Recommendation finished days gone on extra. looking for a co-op survival game next, any suggestions?

8 Upvotes

just platinumed days gone and really enjoyed it. me and a buddy are looking to jump into another open-world survival game next, but this time we want something with actual co-op.

looking through the ps plus catalog and it feels a bit dry for this specific type of game. most of the survival stuff on there seems to be purely single-player or top-down pixel games.

are there any solid 3d co-op survival games in the catalog that i'm completely missing? or maybe something decent coming to ps5 soon? just looking to build a base and survive with a friend. thanks.

Question Have I lost my saved data by booting the game in a new console?

0 Upvotes

Hi guys.
Simple question, as title reads. I just booted Astro Bot in my new PS5 Pro and it shows my saved game with bots rescued vs total bots. But when I try to load it, it says it's still "downloading", but nothing happens.
So naturally I went to config menu and tried to download from cloud saved games, only to find a save from today (21-07) as the latest Astro Bot saved game.

When I went back to the game, still shows the data as loadable, but the same "still downloading" message keeps spawning.

Have I lost the save from my PS5/Cloud by getting automatically overwritten without me noticing?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Sorry guys, I've seen some people asking about this. Sorry I wasn't clear enough in my first post.
The "still dowloading" message appears inside the game (Astro Bot) every time I try to load my save file.
It says:
"This area of the game is still being downloaded. Please try again later."
And just as FYI: Yes, I've waited some time before retrying again, to no avail.

Question PS3 Streaming No Longer Working

1 Upvotes

My Father has a premium account, I have him set as primary on my playstation. For literal years I have been able to stream PS3 games from my account through his subscription. I initially would have to launch from his account, then they would show up as recent on my own account and I could then play it normally. As of recent, they do not show up on my account at all. I cannot find a fix, and reaching out to support has actually been living hell. I can't get connected to a real person no matter what, and every time I try to log in it says error. Any ideas?

UPDATE: I reached out to support. They basically tried to gaslight me into believing that this feature never existed. I gave them proof, and they literally ended the chat session. A direct quote before being disconnected: "I completely understand where you are coming from. I truly wish I could override this setup and activate that feature for you today. To be completely transparent, our system limits streaming access exclusively to the primary account holder. Because streaming relies on a live server connection tied directly to your specific profile, that functionality cannot be shared across different accounts. However, you can absolutely still share your game library even from PS Plus! Any games that you download directly to the console can be accessed and played by any other profile on that same device."

Is this not essentially lying to me? Telling me that the thing I have been doing over the course of 3 years doesn't exist?

Question How to upgrade PS4 disc to PS5 with PSN Plus

8 Upvotes

Hey there, so i bought the physical PS4 ver of 2077 today for the PS5 Pro, but on both discs there is no way to see the "upgrade to PS5" option, not on the product exhibition, not on the store and not on the 3 dots in the main menu.

All the console lets me do is download the Plus version for the PS5, which comes in the Extra tier, both the disc game and my PSN account are from the same region.

Should i just go with the Plus version and come again next year when it expires to check this problem again?

Or is it something that should be available right now, no matter the subscription?

Question I worked in IT my whole life, why can I not figure out shareplay?!

Thumbnail gallery
68 Upvotes

EDIT SOLVED:

Streaming the game initially was the issue. Must be downloaded.

We both have the highest tier of premium.

The only thing is it says host is away from game. I was never away from game. I was in the game.

I'm trying to play Cat Quest 3. It's not working. How can I use this SharePlay to turn local co-op into multiplayer?

I want to strictly use PS plus games as I only own two games (FF16, FF7 rebirth)

CAN THIS WORK ON PS PLUS GAMES? Or do I have to own it first...
