With the launch of its new PlayStation Plus tier system in 2022, Sony gave users access to game trials, cloud gaming, and finally – an extensive collection of titles to choose from. It’s the PlayStation equivalent of the Xbox Game Pass, and it’s jam-packed with top-notch titles from the previous decades years.
Today, PlayStation Plus subscription is split into 3 tiers, Essential, Extra, and Premium. Essential grants you the same advantages the original subscription used to give you, with 2-3 free monthly games, cloud saves and multiplayer.
The PlayStation Plus Extra subscription unlocks the game catalog containing hundreds of great games you can play for an unlimited time as long as your subscription is active. The Premium subscription, which is the most expensive, also includes the Classics Catalog containing hundreds of games from PlayStation 3 that you can stream directly to your Ps4, and yes, trophies do work and count on your account.
Here are All the Subscription Tiers for the PlayStation Game Catalog
- PlayStation Plus Essential ($9.99/month): This is the same as the original PS Plus. A subscription provides internet access, free games every month, and savings.
- PlayStation Plus Extra ($14.99/month): In addition to the perks of the Essential tier, Extra grants access to hundreds of PS4 and PS5 titles.
- PlayStation Plus Premium ($17.99/month): In addition to the Essential and Extra tier perks, Premium contains a library of vintage titles (PS3, PS2, PSP, and PS1), trials, and cloud streaming in some regions.
PS Plus Premium includes over 700 titles across over two decades of PlayStation history. Such a large selection might be intimidating, and the PS Plus app makes it difficult to search through the library; as a result, knowing the highlights of this tier before subscribing to a membership can be beneficial. Sony releases a new game every month. While the majority of them are new PS5 and PS4 titles, they are occasionally joined by a few classics.
The PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, on the other hand, might be difficult to navigate. That’s where we come in. We’ve compiled a selection of the 20 most outstanding games on the page to help you decide where to begin (or continue) your Game Catalog trip(including the classic games section).

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection
The Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection was the first PC release of an Uncharted game ever. It includes the popular Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy featuring Chloe Frazer and Nadine Ross.
For PlayStation 5 owners, Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection also brings an amazing playing experience with an increased frame rate and graphics suited for the PS5 hardware. You can experience Uncharted like never before on PlayStation.
If you’re imagining a PS4, the Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection is not available for purchase, at least not in a physical format. Still, you may enjoy the games separately as both Uncharted games are part of the PlayStation Plus Catalog. There’s also a third option. If you own any of the Uncharted 4 or Lost Legacy versions (digital or physical), you can upgrade to Uncharted: Lost Legacy Collection (digital) for just $10.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
Final Fantasy VII Remake was a fantastic reworking of the first major story arc of the breakthrough PlayStation game. It featured certain problems, such as a somewhat exceeded mission structure, awkward aerial combat, and strange texturing difficulties.
Nonetheless, it was a terrific console release with an eye for detail, a substantial story campaign, and redesigned Hard level elements. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade brings the typical action-RPG deliciousness, as well as DLC material for the platform.
What Remains of Edith Finch
What Remains of Edith Finch is maybe one of the best magical realism storylines in video games. It depicts the fantastic, terrible, and continually unexpected multi-generational history of the Finch family in a first-person, story-driven experience comparable to Gone Home and Firewatch.
You’ll embark on a guided history of each family member as you tour the exquisite labyrinthine mansion, probe into what may or may not be a genetic curse, and finally learn how each one succumbed to it. Developer Giant Sparrow (renowned for his work on The Unfinished Swan) has done it again.
Resident Evil 7 Biohazard
Resident Evil 7 deviates significantly from the long-running horror franchise. But, while some succeed and some fail, this new first-person take on the idea smartly recognizes that it’s the survival-horror adventure — comprised of suspenseful exploration and cautious item-hunting — and not just the action that made its forefathers remarkable.
Watch Dogs 2
Watch Dogs 2 excels with open mission designs plus various routes to accomplish your objective and some fantastic toys to discover them with by improving on a lot of what the previous game and its expansion did well and blending action, stealth, and puzzle gameplay with handy remote-control drones.
I’m mixed about the tone of its tale and characters, but I had a blast exploring its Bay Area geography. In practically every area, this is a tremendous upgrade over the original Watch Dogs. One of the first Watch Dogs player criticisms was that its “fixer” hacker protagonist, Aiden Pearce, is a dull and unlikeable figure.
Ubisoft listened and dropped Pearce in Chicago, picking up in the Bay Area with the far more approachable hacker vigilante Marcus Holloway.
Death Stranding: Director’s Cut
Death Stranding: Director’s Cut is mostly an inventory management game. The longer you play, the more flexibility you have with your stuff. You have the ability to assist others. You have the ability to cause harm to others. You have the ability to save citizens.
You have the ability to kill them. You have the ability to expand your universe. You have the ability to destroy it. Regardless of your choice, Death Stranding: Director’s Cut is a game unlike any other in that it forces you to abandon your beliefs about essential gameplay loops and storylines in favor of exploring an unconnected future.
Mortal Kombat 11
The Ultimate Edition of Mortal Kombat 11 is NetherRealm’s greatest moment, polished up even more for a new console generation. Mortal Kombat 11 is still a violent masterpiece that pulls bloodshed with its new roster additions, despite being more content-rich, developed, and accessible to a larger audience than ever before.
Until Dawn
Until Dawn, at its most enjoyable, is a tribute to horror movies, set in a setting created by a creator who clearly enjoys the genre. Although its thrills are muted by a lack of plot continuity Until Dawn is ultimately worth playing due to its powerful choice-and-consequence system and a keen eye on horror’s most absurd cliches.
Doom
Doom takes little time in striving to create a spooky atmosphere; within seconds of starting, you’re shooting a gun at shambling possessed foes. And the action doesn’t stop there – this game is all about rapid, nasty, and unrelenting action.
The action moves quickly and smoothly, with your nameless protagonist slashing through demons of all types. You do not need to reload guns; only keep an eye on your ammo count, and there is no fall damage. (unless you essentially fall off the map entirely).
Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories
Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories seems like a smooth upgrade to its predecessors, with most of what I enjoyed about the series remaining. As an added benefit, whereas the previous games did their utmost to make things appear American, Summer Memories’ translation makes no pretenses about the Japanese setting.
Overall, my experience with the game was filled with highs and lows. A terrific set-piece would occur just as I was about to toss down my controller for the day. Then, just when I thought my issues with the game were resolved, I’d want to throw my controller down again. Funny.
Detroit: Become Human
Detroit: Become Human is Quantic Dream’s greatest game, with breathtaking visuals, a mature tale, and many endings. Despite some minor frame rate difficulties, the PC port is a terrific way to play the game if you haven’t already played the PlayStation 4 original.
Prepare to make difficult decisions as you experience the lives of three androids as they shape the events of the days preceding the android revolt, with a complicated branching plot line.
Detroit: Become Human is available on the official PlayStation Store listing over here.
Watch Dogs
Watch Dogs refers to hackers as contemporary magicians in its first scene. That’s a decent comparison for the arsenal of robust but mainly programmed techniques we’ll be able to employ when we go loose in this massive and stunningly realistic terrain of Chicago.
You may set environmental traps that crush following automobiles, deplete a citizen’s bank account, or even remotely ignite an explosive in an enemy’s pocket with the press of a button. Hacking isn’t as dynamic as it looks at first glance, but the illusion allows us a little more to do than other third-person action games, and it puts on a wonderful show.
For Honor
The medieval setting of For Honor is set to three of the past’s greatest warrior classes: knights, Vikings, and Samurai. No matter whatever group you choose to play, For Honor pushes you to maintain self-control in the midst of intense violence.
The beauty of its fighting is at times breathtaking, effortlessly luring you into the ecstatic highs of a well-deserved triumph when your patience and reflexes were on spot.
Little Nightmares
Little Nightmares, is a dark and amusing story that will force you to confront your childhood nightmares. You must assist Six in escaping the Maw, a large, enigmatic vessel inhabited by corrupted souls on the hunt for their next meal. Explore the most unsettling dollhouse giving a jail to escape from and a playground full of surprises to uncover as you proceed on your trip.
Injustice 2
Injustice 2 is a fighting video game released in 2017. It is the sequel to 2013’s Injustice: Gods Among Us and the second chapter in the DC Universe-based Injustice franchise. NetherRealm Studios created it, and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment released it.
Dead by Daylight
Dead by Daylight is a cooperative (4vs1) horror game in which one player plays the ruthless Killer and the other four players play as Survivors trying to get away from the Killer and avoid being captured and killed.
You can find Dead By Daylight on the official website by Behaviour Games.
Fallout 4
Fallout 4 is a fantastic game. Fallout 4 sets the standard for physically growing your characters, with the broadest character creation system in gaming history – you can even make adjustments as you move through the plot, adding battle scars or maybe a beard. You develop a strong emotional attachment to your character.
I can’t think of a more legendary video game protagonist than Fallout 4’s Sole Survivor, a character I designed. It gives you the distinct impression that you created something extraordinary. The game has a large open environment in which you may do anything you want, whenever you want. The plot is also entirely non-linear.
The Quarry
Hackett’s Quarry is a vacation camp in upstate New York that is progressively collapsing. It’s initially intended to seem like the most postcard-worthy version of itself, backlit by warm sunlight and stretched out across a billion acres of natural grandeur.
It’s a Hollywood depiction of the ideal summer vacation, with vibrant cinematography that makes the entire camp appear like a treasured memory. Then the sun sets, the woods get dangerously silent, the decay becomes more visible, and the nightmare begins.
The Last of Us Part II
Ellie and Joel have settled in Jackson, Wyoming, five years after their perilous voyage through the post-pandemic United States. Despite the continual threat of the infected and other, more desperate survivors, living in a thriving community of survivors has provided them with tranquility and security.
When a horrific occurrence interrupts the peace, Ellie begins on a never-ending quest for justice and redemption. As she pursues the perpetrators one by one, she is confronted with the horrific physical and mental consequences of her deeds.
Resident Evil 4 HD
The president of the United States’ daughter, Ashley Graham, has been kidnapped, and series hero Leon S. Kennedy has been sent to a hidden town in Spain to find her. There, he learns that a long-forgotten, mind-controlling parasite known as Las Plagas has been released in the Spanish countryside by the religious sect that carried out the kidnapping.
The game departs from its predecessors by shunning the zombies that have been a series mainstay in favor of more complex adversaries who exhibit cunning and a sinister intellect. As Leon advances, his adversaries become grotesque, losing their humanity in favor of a chilly, insectoid carapace.
