PS Plus Free Games Making Big Change With Essential Tier
On June 13, PS Plus will be merging with PS Now into a new three-tiered system consisting of PS Plus Essential, PS Plus Extras, and PS Plus Premium. The higher the tier, the more it costs. It remains to be seen how cost-effective these services prove to be, but they do show promise.
Not to mention, several players will be getting a few months, if not years’ worth, of PS Plus Premium cheap.

This resulted in a ton of fans stacking PS Plus subscriptions ahead of the launch, until Sony disabled it. It’s understandable on both ends: Sony doesn’t want to lose out on the money, and if someone can get access to a 700+ library of games for cheap, then more power to them.

Confirmed titles, right now, include Death Stranding, God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Mortal Kombat 11, andReturnal. All of these can be downloaded. In
