PlayStation Plus Collection Games Going Away

It will be an end of an era for PlayStation 5 owners who also subscribe to PlayStation Plus. To coincide with the console’s launch in November 2020, Sony offered a special selection of games. The PlayStation Plus Collection games involved free access to 20 PS4 games for new PS5 owners. Now on May 9, 2023, that offer will end. Sony confirmed it on the PlayStation Blog.

Here’s how the PlayStation Plus Collection PS4 games worked for PS5 owners. If someone subscribed to the service and owned a PS5, they could get access to 20 games. These would be permanently accessible after being claimed and could be played at any time after being downloaded. These consisted of 10 first-party and 10 third-party titles.

Here’s the full list from the original announcement.

• Batman: Arkham Knight
• Battlefield 1
• Bloodborne
• Call of Duty: Black Ops III – Zombies Chronicles Edition
• Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
• Days Gone
• Detroit: Become Human
• Fallout 4
• Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition
• God of War

• The Last of Us Remastered
• Monster Hunter: World
• Mortal Kombat X
• Persona 5
• Ratchet and Clank 
• Resident Evil 7
• Until Dawn
• Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End

Sony’s announcement confirmed that if a PS5 owner with PlayStation Plus claims these PS4 games before May 9, 2023, they will retain access to them.
