Starting 24 May 2022 in Asia markets before heading to Japan (2 June), North and South America (13 June), and then Europe, Australia and New Zealand (23 June), Sony Interactive Entertainment will from next week commence rolling out their new approach to PlayStation Plus. With the switch-over dating to the three-tier model approaching, we have received our first look at the game libraries available to players of each of the three tiers: Essential (which will cost the same as the current PlayStation Plus subscription with no planned loss of features), Extra and Premium/Deluxe.
The below list does not include the monthly games, which remains available to Essentials subscriptions, and shall continue being a staple of the PlayStation Plus service.
