The new PS Plus Extra and Premium services are now live in Hong Kong and South Korea but there’s no sign of the ‘hundreds’ of promised games.
Sony’s new, three tier version of PlayStation Plus doesn’t launch in the UK until mid-June but it’s now available in parts of Asia and that means a full list of all the games for PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium is now available.
To recap, the first of the three tiers is called PS Plus Essential and is basically exactly the same (including price) as the original PlayStation Plus. The more expensive PS Plus Extra is similar to Xbox Game Pass, in that it includes hundreds of PlayStation 4 and 5 games, or at least that was the idea.
The South Korean version of the service currently only has 153 games, while Hong Kong has launched with 213. When Sony originally announced the service, it said there’d be 400 in the West.

Take out the doubles and there’s only 13 individual PS1 games and what seems to be only four PlayStation 2 titles, in the form of the original four Jak And Daxter games.
