- Is PlayStation Plus a game?
- No. It is a subscription service for PS5 and PS4. It gives online multiplayer, monthly games and, on higher tiers, a catalog of games to download and play.
- What is the difference between Essential, Extra and Premium?
- Essential covers online play, cloud saves and monthly games. Extra adds a large PS4 and PS5 game catalog. Premium adds classics, game trials and cloud streaming in supported countries.
- Do I need it to play online on PS5?
- Yes for most online multiplayer games. Free-to-play titles generally do not require it. Cloud saves and monthly games also need an active subscription.
- Do I keep the monthly games forever?
- You can play them while your subscription is active. If it lapses, they are locked until you resubscribe.
- Can I share it with another console in my home?
- Yes. Set one PS5 as your primary console and other accounts on it can use your benefits, including online play and the game catalog.
- Is it worth it over buying games one by one?
- If you play several catalog games a year or play online regularly, Extra usually offers more than buying each title. If you play few games or mostly free-to-play titles, Essential or no plan may be enough.
