The new version of Sony’s PlayStation Plus subscription service is live now (at least in my region). The initial catalog for the Extra tier – the closest to Xbox Game Pass – has about 400 games right now, but only a handful of what you’d consider top-shelf games.
The most notable PlayStation Plus inclusions so far, include:
- Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut
- Guardians of the Galaxy
- Death Stranding: Director’s Cut
- NBA 2K22
- Returnal
- Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla
- Spider-Man: Miles Morales
- Fallout 76
- Red Dead Redemption 2
There are some notable games on that list, but it also lacks the blockbuster day one vibe of Xbox Game Pass, which has big debuts like Halo Infinite. The more-expensive Premium tier also includes download and streaming access to about 500 older games, mostly from pre-PS4 consoles.
However, there are plenty of cult and indie favorites as well. I’m listing a handful of what I think are notable ones, and I’m soliciting similar suggestions from my colleagues for an update.
Here are my older or lesser-known picks so far:
- Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories
- XCOM 2
- Greedfall
- Uncharted: the Lost Legacy
- Pathfinder: Kingmaker
- Pillars of Eternity
- Tetris Effect
- Outer Wilds

And one odd-but-interesting thing I noticed – there are a lot of Warhammer games included. I know next to nothing about Warhammer lore, but appreciate that it’s so deep and wide-ranging, and I’ve enjoyed games like Inquisitor (like a sci-fi Diablo) and the recent Chaos Gate (like XCOM with space marines). If you’re interested, the PS Plus list includes:
- Chaosbane
- Space Hulk: Deathwing
- Inquisitor
- Necromunda: Underhive Wars
- Space Hulk Tactics
I’ll update this list as more games are added, and as my colleagues remind me of top-tier classics I’ve missed.
