Subscription Tiers and Their Benefits  

Don’t get flabbergasted! PlayStation do have subscription plans also known as “Tiers” just like (in-game passes. The membership plan has three different tiers, which are titled Essential, Extra, and Deluxe. Depending on the gamer’s work-rate, these plans are innovatively orchestrated.

This plan includes monthly games, online multiplayer, exclusive in-game content, whopping discounts, and share play (which helps you to play with your loved ones).   

 

While Essential serves as a foundational tier in the PS Plus subscription, “Extra " is more like a non-canon boss from an RPG. This plan gifts you all the great benefits of “PS Plus Essential” along with Game Catalogue and Ubisoft+ Classic. 

 

For a gamer like me, who has played an entire section of games, PS Plus Extra is like a jewel in the crown as its game catalogue has hundreds of games ranging from action blockbusters to BP Busters like Bloodborne and Ghost of Tsushima. 

 

On the other hand, its Ubisoft+ Classic feature gives users a punch of nostalgia through games like the Assassin’s Creed series, Far Cry series, and much more from the Ubisoft industry.   

 

Last but most importantly comes the “Deluxe” section, curated for hardcore gamers out there.
