While the primary draw of PS Plus may be access to online multiplayer, the monthly free games are certainly great incentives. With Sony relaunching the PlayStation Plus subscription service in June to offer three tiers of membership that combine it with PS Now, we've decided to take a look at the best PS Plus games that have been offered over the years.
While not every month has been notable, there were still plenty of times when a PS Plus update was worth paying attention to when they were announced. Between indie darlings and unexpected big-budget debuts, here's a look at the best of PS Plus since 2010.
We prioritized big AAA games (particularly exclusives) and indies that were relatively new when landing on the service when making this list, so you won't find many ports or remasters of older games. We also only included monthly free games, so games that are only in the PS Plus Collection for PS5 weren't eligible. Hopefully there will be more games in the coming months that can be added to this roundup. Make no mistake, though, this list isn't exhaustive--there have been plenty more excellent games up for grabs for PS Plus members over the years. After all, PlayStation has been giving away games to PS Plus subscribers since 2010. Let's take a stroll through the highlights of the service's history.
