PlayStation Plus subscribers are surprised by the middle tier of the subscription service and how much value it offers. For those that don’t know, PS Plus is divided into three tiers. The bottom tier is called PS Plus Essential, and it’s what PS Plus has been for many years, which is to say it grants a few “free games” every month, alongside access to online play and special features like cloud saves. Then there is PS Plus Extra, the middle tier of the subscription service, which is all of this as well as “free” access to a vast library of PS4 and PS5 games. The most expensive tier is PS Plus Premium, which is PS Plus Extra, but the instant library is bolstered by PS3, PS2, PS1, and PSP games as well. Unfortunately, the legacy part of this library is currently pretty disappointing, raising questions about the value of the most expensive tier. That said, there’s little room to argue with the value of the middle tier.
