All Games on PlayStation Plus Premium

At this rate, the priciest PS Plus subscription tier is a tough sell if you’re not into cloud gaming

PlayStation Plus offers three subscription tiers—Essential, Extra, and Premium—and out of all of them, the middle option feels like the best value. As someone who treasures retro games, especially the ability to easily play them on modern hardware, I thought I’d be a regular Premium subscriber above all. But the initial wave of PS Plus Premium classics was sparse, and the rollout since then has been as incremental as folks had feared.

Sony’s updates to its classic catalog have been disappointingly irregular, and whenever it has added old-school titles from the PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation Portable days, they typically haven’t been the most exciting inclusions. To this day, many fan-favorite games that defined these consoles remain absent from the catalog, such as the original Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon trilogies.

Right now, it seems like most of the value of Premium is tied to the streaming-only PS3 classics and cloud gaming in general. Unfortunately for players like me who never got into the PlayStation Now service, that’s not a great deal—but it could be so much more enticing if the PS1, PS2, and PSP library did more heavy lifting.

For all of the backlash, I’ve slowly but surely come around on Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack thanks to the N64, Sega Genesis, and DLC inclusions. I hope PS Plus Premium can step it up too; otherwise, I’ll swap to the Extra tier when my sub runs out.

As more games join the service, I’ll update this list, including notes about any PS1 classics with trophies, or games that are exclusively playable with PS Plus Premium.

It’s worth noting that some beloved games are included in the separate Remasters list on PlayStation Plus Premium. Notable examples include , , , , , and . So while it’s a lot of various newer remasters, there are gems that fit the “classic” vibe of the PSP and Vita era.

As for PS3 games, again, they’re streaming only on PS4 and PS5. There are way too many for me to list out and link — sorry! But Tokyo Jungle and PixelJunk Monsters sure do rule.
