Sony has announced that the PlayStation Plus Collection of games would be phased out on May 9, 2023, either at the end of a blog post or via an email to PlayStation Plus subscribers. However, anyone who has already redeemed (downloaded or added to their Library) or plans to redeem any or all of these titles in the next three months will be entitled to keep them for free.
The PlayStation Plus Collection has been available since the PS5 was released (and only for PS5 owners who own PS Plus) and is available for download for free. During the years since, it has been a fantastic way to catch up on big-name titles players may have missed or been unable to afford.
The PlayStation Plus Collection consisted of twenty free games, but Persona 5 was phased out in May last year. The other nineteen are still available to download until May 9; add any of these titles to your Game Library before that date.
- Batman: Arkham Knight
- Battlefield 1
- Bloodborne
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (Zombie Chronicles Edition)
- Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
- Days Gone
- Detroit: Become Human
- Fallout 4
- Final Fantasy 15
- God of War
- Infamous Second Son
- Monster Hunter World
- Mortal Kombat X
- Ratchet and Clank
- Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
- The Last Guardian
- The Last of Us Remastered
- Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End
- Until Dawn
Many of these titles are still available for PlayStation's PS Plus Extra and Premium subscriptions, but it would have been nice if they had been kept for new PS5 owners at no additional cost to them. Especially considering Sony has sold over 32 million PS5 consoles worldwide.
