PlayStation Plus Collection Is Shutting Down, Players Can Redeem the 19-Game Collection by May 9

Sony is shutting down its PlayStation Plus Collection soon. For the uninitiated, the catalogue includes a set of PS4 games that any PS5 owner can readily download and play free of charge, provided they are subscribed to the PS Plus service. Players have until May 9 to redeem the 19-game collection on their accounts, after which the perk will cease to exist. A PS Plus membership will still be required to access those games, long after the closure — players can't "keep" these games. The collection originally included 20 games, but went down a notch when the popular JRPG Persona 5 was removed last year. The PlayStation Plus Collection was introduced as part of the PS5's launch in late 2020, at a time when it lacked exclusive launch titles — an incentive to buy the current-gen console. While Sony never provided a reason for this new update, it recently offered limited-time discounts on its PS Plus Extra and Deluxe/ Premium subscriptions, as a means to get subscribers on the base Essential plan to upgrade. Furthermore, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan confirmed last month that the PS5 supply shortage should no longer be a problem. That, combined with the console now having an extensive library of its own, could mean that the publisher finds it unnecessary to offer these freebies. As stated before, the PS Plus collection includes 19 games, sub-divided into 10 first-party and nine third-party releases. Games leaving the PlayStation collection on May 9 First-party titles Bloodborne Days Gone Detroit: Become Human God of War (2018) Infamous Second Son The Last Guardian The Last of Us Remastered Ratchet and Clank Until Dawn Uncharted 4: A Thief's End The Last of Us Part I on PS5 Offers 2-Hour Free Trial for PS Plus Deluxe/ Premium Members Third-party titles Batman: Arkham Knight Battlefield 1 Call of Duty: Black Ops III – Zombies Chronicles Edition Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Fallout 4 Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition Monster Hunter: World Mortal Kombat X Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Sony also unveiled the four free games available to all PS Plus members this month. Starting February 7, PS Plus Essential, Extra, and Deluxe members can add the critically-acclaimed Mafia remake, the vibrant skateboarding game Olli Olli World, Destiny 2's Beyond Light expansion, and Evil Dead: The Game, a gory 4v1 shooter adaptation based on filmmaker Sam Raimi's original film series. PlayStation Plus subscription in India starts at Rs. 499 per month for Essential, Rs. 749 per month for the Extra plan, and Rs. 849 per month for the top-tier Deluxe subscription. From Elden Ring to BGMI's ban, 2022 gave us a lot in the gaming space. We discuss it all on Orbital, the Gadgets 360 podcast.
