Some games have free PS5 upgrades. Do I have access to both versions (PS4+PS5) from games on the extra catalogue? 2. Can I download PS4+PS5 games onto console or is it only streaming? 3. Can I buy DLC and use it for games in the extra catalogue? 4. I heard there were licensing issues when you go from a higher tier back to essential. As in, you "lose" the monthly free games you redeemed from essential if you played the "extra" version of the games. Is that true? Thanks in advance! 1) Yes 2) Yes 3) Yes, the DLC is yours to keep forever but if the game leave the catalogue you have to buy the game 4) Yes. The only solution is to remember every game that you have through Essential, or pay attention every time a game has the label “In your library” because that means you already have it. If you make the mistake of redeeming a game that you already had you can contact PlayStation to restore the license @shadaik Yes this is probably the best strategy! I have Premium and basically played only one game in the Classic catalog Edited November 27, 2023 by Sailar91 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadaik Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) I'm thinking of upgrading the remainder of my current Extra to Premium for a few of the classics. However, going full Premium is not worth it, imho, so: Is there a way to downgrade again at the next renewal?

Raise prices, no Black Friday discount, and then you have to let your account expire before downgrading. I suspect some people will get very irritated and take a break after it expires. Premium isn't worth it to me, so i'll have to let it expire and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upgrade the remaining time to premium, then change the plan back to extra, so once the premium ends, you're renewed for another year of extra. Kind of an automated way of letting it expire and manually renewing it seems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Tenno777 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 I had my guide for Tron Evolution published on the site back in June. I was wondering if my guide can be added in. https://psnprofiles.com/guide/16261-tron-evolution-trophy-guide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ffs I was planning on attempting DMC 5 but thought I'd at least have a month on me to try plat it if they were ever going to remove it.

I'm guessing you'll still have time, and these are leaving in Jan....maybe just displaying early by mistake. I'm starting Pillars now just in case.

NamoPh Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I wouldn't count on these being January. Pillars II entered Extra last December, and there's been a noticeable pattern of many games that are leaving having stayed for 1 year. Assume these are December games that were added late, I had my eye on Pillars II myself for a while now and was expecting it to leave this month.

shadaik Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 These probably are January. The store listings for the games don't show a "offer ends X/XX" as they do when they are leaving within a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until yesterday, I could only see the games that left in November, I never saw the batch leaving in December in the store, must have been some kind of bug. Well, I've been looking for a game to play next, guess I'll start with Pillars of Eternity 2 then, that makes the decision way easier I hope these games leave at the end of January, PoE is a big game and the first game took me more than two weeks to complete (and I even rushed the end a bit because the game was leaving soon from PS+), and I expect the same from the sequel! Gonna check out Omno as well, it looks adorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokujin Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 I specifically remember when It Takes Two was added it was set to leave in January, and Jett was added last January - so to me it points to theyre the January batch of leaving games, with Yakuza 6, Middle Earth etc being the December batch leaving but for whatever reason they never showed up. I wouldn’t take my word as gospel but I’m fairly sure personally that the last chance to play is for games leaving midway through January. Especially as Yakuza has Offer Ends 19/12 whereas all last chance games like Jett are still just “Included” etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completed Yakuza 6 this week and while playing it, it had the "Leaving Dec 19" - but now both Like a Dragon and Yakuza 6 no longer have it listed as such. I am now sneaking in Legends of Ethernal and Foreclosed which both does say December 19 still and I have access to them still in the USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsisoo Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 The UK store is finally showing the correct games leaving this month (19/12/23) in the "Last Chance to Play" section. This "Last Chance to Play" countdown stresses me out each month, but it's better to have it - than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
