How the PS Plus Collection will eventually work
The PS Plus Collection will remain available when the revamped service launches later this year, it has been confirmed.
PlayStation 5’s PS Plus Collection, which provides subscribers access to a range of great titles at no extra cost, will not disappear when the service transitions to its new three-tier system in June. The additional bonus will become part of PS Plus Essential, which is the basic offering that all current PS Plus members will automatically switch to this summer. Sony confirmed its plans to keep the list of 20 PS4 titles to IGN.
For those wondering – PlayStation confirmed to IGN that the PlayStation Plus Collection will not be going away with this change. It will remain as a benefit to all PS5 players with PS Plus.

This means that the basic PS Plus Essential tier includes the usual free PS5 and PS4 games on a monthly basis, cloud storage for saves, access to online multiplayer, exclusive discounts, and now the PS Plus Collection. “There are no changes for existing PlayStation Plus members at this tier,” the company stated.
If you choose to upgrade your subscription to PS Plus Extra, you will gain access to “a catalog of up to 400 of the most enjoyable PS4 and PS5 games”. For now, God of War is the only game that overlaps between the PS Plus Collection and what has been confirmed for the PS Plus Extra launch lineup. You will also be able to download games like Returnal, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Death Stranding.
In Europe, the cost of PS Plus will be €8.99 per month.
