As of June, PS Plus will be available in three tiers. While the basic tier - PS Plus Essential - will be basically the same as PS Plus is now, and offer two free games per month, the two more expensive tiers will offer access to extensive game libraries - over 400 games for the middle PS Plus Extra tier, and then over 700 for the PS Plus Premium echelon.
We'll round up the games coming at launch for each PS Plus tier below, although Sony has clarified that this is just "an early look at some of the games to come". The PS5-exclusive PS Plus Collection games will remain available to anyone with a PS Plus subscription on PS5 - regardless of tier.
Plus, Sony has confirmed that the "PlayStation Plus games catalog will continue to refresh and evolve over time, so there is always something new to play".
For PlayStation Plus Essential members, your monthly refresh will occur on the first Tuesday of the month, whereas PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members will also get an additional monthly refresh around the middle of each month with new games - although the number of games added will vary from month to month.
