PlayStation Plus has gone through several iterations and changes since it was first introduced. Initially, the service was not required at all for online play and rewarded subscribers with extra discounts and free monthly games. When the PlayStation 4 generation began, it was required for online gaming, but still offered the same benefits.
Now PS Plus is divided into three different tiers of subscriptions. The basic tier, PS Plus Essential, will still have three games added per month, while the Extra and Premium tiers will have varying numbers of games added to their catalogs. With hundreds of games already and more coming and going all the time, even the most dedicated gamer won’t be able to play everything on offer. To help you get the most bang for your buck, and so no hidden gems go under your radar, here are all the best games to play on PS Plus Essential, Extra and Premium right now.
