• Essential: The Essential tier offers two monthly games, cloud storage for 'save' files, discounts, and online multiplayer access.
• Extra: Customers subscribing to PS Plus Extra will have access to everything available in the Essential category and up to 400 downloadable PS4 and PS5 games.
• Deluxe: The Deluxe tier offers the most value as it offers iconic titles from PS1, PS2, PSP, and PS3 times and cloud-based streaming features.

While Sony announced new prices, there's no proper justification for it as the tech giant hasn't been offering compelling titles as free monthly games. Sony offered Saints Row, which is a soft relaunch of Deep Silver's street crime franchise. The game has received disappointing reviews and is not an exciting offering. Additionally, Sony is also offering Sandbox MMO Black Desert and Generation Zero games.
