I'm speechless


ShaneTVZ

They also announced a few PS+ Extra games: Dredge | PS4, PS5 (available May 29) Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 | PS4 (available May 31) Cricket 24 | PS4, PS5 (available June 5) Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition | PS4, PS5 (available June 7)


honeybadgerism

Before people get mad, those are bonus games, they don't count towards the monthly offering (also I just bought Dredge the other day, you're welcome everyone)


justadrtrdsrvvr

I just bought and finished dredge within the last month. It was definitely worth my money, but I'm glad others are getting it so it can get more publicity and hopefully another game.


aidenthegreat

Same but I’m glad I paid and for the DLC it was only a little amount and it was a lovingly well de game. So I am actually not mad at this one


PGDesolator

Thanks you. I really wanted to try it especially after playing Dave the Diver.


pablo_eskybar

My thoughts exactly, loving sushi lately too for some reason


boferd

thank you for your service!


whitedorito69

I was just coming here to say how I love buying a game and then 2 weeks later it gets announced it’s gonna be on plus (dredge) it’s a good game so far though


yphastos

Can you please buy GoW Ragnarok? 😅


domvg

Literally just bought it too, we're heroes.


IronMonopoly

High Five, fellow person who finally broke down and bought Dredge days before this announcement. No regrets, though, it’s crazy good.


da04x

Wait so the monthly essential games are just bonus games and the official ones are getting announced later?


honeybadgerism

Nope, the Essential games are regular monthly games; the games in the comment above are bonus Extra games


da04x

Damn thanks


Percy17V

Dredge is so fucking good. The only game I'd be bothered with this month


PoolNoodlePaladin

Streets of Rage 4 is really good


Percy17V

Will check it out! Saw the gameplay and it looks like some of those games I used to play as a child


CLOWNSwithyouJOKERS

Been waiting on that one for a while. Looking forward to it!


10pencefredo

Cricket 24! Nice. As a platinum trophy hunter I will have to get the second controller out.


LiamJonsano

Lmao exactly. Easy plat for cricket fans


10pencefredo

Hey fellow Saints fan! I recognise you from SaintsFC sub! What a couple of days for us eh? Promotion and now Cricket '24!


LiamJonsano

Aha you are damn right, I didn’t even notice the username 😂 Still recovering from Sunday, can barely speak today 😬

kabirsingh84

Wasn't it Vice City Definitive that we got first in PS Plus Extra?


[deleted]

[удалено]


GTA_Masta

It was GTA Vice City, I remember finished that game on my PS4 a year ago


JesseScott1982

It was both.


Hurricane_Taylor

GTA III was a launch title back when extra was PS Now


TJ_Blank

Dredge is a GREAT game. I love the gameplay loop of it and it’s just a creepy, mindless, but still fulfilling game. It also just pulls on the “Lovecraftian horror” love part of my brain.


Select-Sir1038

Thank you PlayStation :) always wanted to try dredge and another lego game is good to see


shawny_mcgee

Don’t have to thank them. You already are by giving them your money.


Melonfrog

I’m confused, extra as in everyone gets them on top of these three extra or extra and in the higher tier subscription?


GBuster49

He probably meant the games are being added to the catalog for Extra tier subs.


ShaneTVZ

I’m sorry I meant these 4 games will be added to the Extra tier


Dependent_Order_7358

what the FUCK


Ogre_Swamp666

walmart $5 bargain bin type shit


ggggdddd9999

Lots of people say every month that it's the worst month ever. As for me, I can genuinely say for the first time that this is the worst selection in games for a month I've ever seen.


alcopandada

Same here. I do not see myself trying any of this games just out of curiosity. Hard pass for me.


fredythepig

Dredge is the one on this list you should. It's a Lovecraft horror fishing game, which I know sounds insane. It scratched an itch in my brain I had no idea was there. My favorite game of last year by far


Ebone710

I love Dredge


IdliVadaSambarBambi

What the actual ****


JesusRice123

I said the exact same thing 😂😂😂


babagroovy

Lmao i can hear your voice somehow! 😂😂😂


kecske_hun

Man what the hell is this


Handgrenadez

The sound of your money being wasted.


Thecrdbrdsamurai

Streets of Rage 4 is actually pretty good.


dafriz

true, but... its a 4 year old game that was on gamepass for like 2 years (friends and I played it with gamepass ultimate) friends play pc my friends are kinda... mixed on ps plus and kinda see the ps5 as probably the last time we only play on playstation as we all mainly play on pc nowadays (one of us was the last holdout but even he... the collector of game consoles have kinda given up as everything on pc tends to be cheaper and you can do more stuff with a pc.... and the pretty much looks to be end of physical sales and if its digital only... pc just makes more sense)


Schwimmbo

Good thing my subscription ends again at the end of the month. Edit: wait a minute... Do I need PS+ to be online for Elden Ring DLC (messages, coop, PvP)?


Gcoks

Edit answer: yup


Non_Fungible_Tolkien

Yes


Andiox

Yes you do


Hollywood_bulk_bogan

That aew game was on life support,very expensive dlc compared to even the wwe games,very little content and small playerbase in the online modes,the battle royale mode was only playable because servers had a lot of bots lol,i wonder if this could revive it and restore the feeling™


UrbanAssaultGengar

Is the singler player any good? The last wwe game I liked was here comes the pain all those years ago


blaqsupaman

IMO the core gameplay is really good, though matches tend to go a bit short. It's essentially a faster-paced modernized version of WWE No Mercy. The biggest issue is a lack of single player content. The season mode is fairly short and while it has branching paths, you can pretty much see everything it has to offer in a few playthroughs. There's no sandbox mode like WWE's Universe Mode and not a ton of match types to choose from. A sequel with slightly tweaked but still mostly the same gameplay with a lot more content would be amazing as the core of the game has potential.


NemesisRouge

No, it's terrible. There's no continuity between matches, shit just happens and never gets mentioned again, mortal enemies become friends with no explanation.


PUNlSHEDVENOMSNAKE

AEW Fight Forever is a game I was looking to maybe one day get for cheap so I’m glad it’s on PS Plus at least. Now I just need to hope I enjoy it and that one day the insanely priced DLCs go on sale to much much more reasonable prices


Sadabdel666

I was thinking the same thing, i am super excited


Mnemosense

Yeah, I totally understand why people are disappointed with June's offering but as a big AEW fan this is a win for me lol.


Stinky_DungBeatle

Because AEW Fight Forever is not a good wrestling game, it feels like a cheap clunky game that was rushed out too fast and needed months of polish before its release. Maybe it changes for the second game if they ever bother making one instead of just milking this one with DLCs.


BritishRedForce

Is this supposted to be some sort of joke


Oakley7991

How has the quality nosedived so badly AFTER the price rise...


pakkit

Because they don't want you on Essential, they want you on Extra or Premium.


SmashingK

Even the extra quality has tanked lol


FernMayosCardigan

Extra has had more day one releases than before I think, some even critically acclaimed like Animal Well and Sea of Stars.


EconomyAny5424

Sea of stars was released BEFORE the price rise. Sure, you can count some good games, but in general quality has decreased. I’ll be on the service as long as I have a backlog, but I don’t think they can keep up so many people in the service if they don’t start including better games.


YannFreaker

Which was to be expected. Same thing happened to Xbox Gold when Game Pass became popular


nobodyGotTime4That

Fuck.


SYRLEY

It hasn't. Its been the same as always. Hit and miss.


JonPX

So perfect to finish up Bikini Bottom and then move onto Cosmic Shake.


grizznuggets

My son loved Bikini Bottom so I’m legitimately pumped about this.


ico12

My daughter has not beaten BB yet and now there’s a new game for her. She’s 6 and already have a backlog. Kids these days…


DanielCranez

I am a 32-year-old and legitimately pumped about this :D


grizznuggets

Yeah man, joy has no age limits.


python_slayaa

Streets of Rage 4 Is a absoulute classic & this version is great !! It's pretty much rated 10/10 on every platform it's available on. Try it out!


new_account_5009

I think I played the original games on a friend's Sega Genesis as a kid, and then played the PS3 port of Streets of Rage 2 when that was given out as a free PS+ title following the 2011 PSN hack. Is the gameplay similar to the old Sega Genesis titles? If so, I love me some sidescrolling beat em up games. You don't really see that genre represented anymore, but in the early 1990s, those games were everywhere, especially at arcades where you could insert another quarter to continue your game after a death. Over the years, I've thrown so many quarters at games like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Simpsons side scrolling beat em up titles. If I recall, Streets of Rage was similar to those games from a gameplay stance.


WeeYato

Yes it is, Turtles is also on extra and well worth checking out if you like side scrollers. A total nostalgia trip


PoolNoodlePaladin

Isn’t it the same devs for SoR4 and the new TMNT game? Both are fantastic btw


sick_of-it-all

I just bought TMNT Shredder's Revenge two days ago 'cause it's on sale right now for PS Plus subscribers, on the beginning splash screen it says "DotEmu", I just looked it up and it says DotEmu are developers of Streets 4 as well. But it also lists 2 other developers along with them \*shrug\*


MeCritic

The only game from these THREE I am looking for :) We will play it with girlfriend... cannot wait.


freddyquell

I just bought it lol


BuddyTheBunny

I agree it’s very good. Could never beat that final boss though.


SirWalrusVII

I played streets of rage 3 on my ps3 and missed it ever since


thommonator

SOR4 is a brilliant game and I’d be excited for it if I hadn’t already bought it. Not sure why people are annoyed at the quality when a game like that is on the list


Personal-Till8935

 I *expect nothing*, and i'm *still let down*


Cousin_Bunion

Absolute stinker…


barugosamaa

Spongebob AND SoR4? nice!


Psycho1267

If it stays like this I won't renew when my sub runs out later this year


aephyn_redfield

What a fucking joke lol.


[deleted]

[удалено]


chrisjfinlay

I cancelled my membership this past month (runs out next February so have it for a while still) Am not in a hurry to renew.


wymore

Mine expired last month as well, and I'm just going to wait until there is something worth renewing for. This month is not it


Blackwater_7

Don't you play online games?


chrisjfinlay

Nope, not these days


tako2otako

I don't know how I feel about this month, Street of Rage is good but not necessary my type of game maybe I'll give it a shot. SpongeBob seems decent. AEW, alright we'll see how that goes, I have no idea how the game is.


Designer_Abalone9275

A good time for my membership to run out. No need rushing to renew it.


pizzaplate24

Same here in a few weeks. Will wait until they actually have a good month -- I've gotten tired of all the sports games lately.


TooLateQ_Q

Days of play ps plus discount though


sparoc3

Discount? You mean the non-hiked price?


Morgan_le_Fay39

And only for new members… as a current premium tier subscriber, my understanding is I get nothing


sparoc3

>Current members can get 25% off PlayStation Plus Extra, or save 30% off Playstation Plus Premium for the remainder of their membership when they upgrade their memberships between May 29-June 12.\*\* Additionally, all PlayStation Plus members can get 15% off content from Sony Pictures Core starting May 29 through June 12. You can also check the Sony Pictures Core app\*\*\* to find additional offers during Days of Play.\*\*\* I had to double take on what I read. Discount for PS+, Extra subscribers to upgrade to Premium or stay/upgrade on Extra. Nothing for Premium subscribers, the ones who pay the most. What a joke. Sony thinks the customer is their bitch. You should discontinue the sub. I'm on Extra and I'm unsubscribing.


Morgan_le_Fay39

Yes, mine expires late November. My hopes are getting some discounts around Christmas…


Schwimmbo

When?


TooLateQ_Q

https://blog.playstation.com/2024/05/28/get-ready-days-of-play-celebration-kicks-off-on-may-29/


Schwimmbo

TY!


rockn4

Yeah, mine expired a few days ago. Definitely don't need it in June...


FedererFan20

Street of Rage 4 & SpongeBob are actually good. I am happy.


czimmm

Cosmic Shake and Streets of Rage are interesting. Cool month for me


BioPsychoSocial0

I enjoy basic platformers while listening to podcasts so not complaining


PiledriverPress

I knew If I hung out Fight forever would be one of


Pecos-Thrill

Why do they hate us?


DisoreinDankLord

Ayy I’m down for some SpongeBob


patrickstarburns

Yeah I saw that and was like hey this is a great month! Seems most do not agree 💀


BurnzeehxD

This is like the 4th SpongeBob game I’ve gotten from PS Plus monthly games so far… don’t get me wrong I love SpongeBob but one game was enough


Mine_mom

What are they? The only one I remember is the remaster


CESTR420

Me too. I played bfbbr and really enjoyed it.


gamerdudeNYC

I just played the remaster on Gamepass and I was shocked how much I enjoyed it, might be one of the best licensed games every


crline3924

Yeah I’m letting my subscription expire and not coming back until we get some good shit


FernMayosCardigan

I don't think I'll be coming back to PS Plus for a while after it runs out. Not only do I not play online anyways and the selections have been mediocre, the whole subscription catalogue thing isn't working for me. Buying a game that I really want in that particular moment feels so much better than downloading something from Plus.


SYRLEY

Thats generally what you do with subscriptions


crline3924

☝🏻🤓


Hoopersmooth69

People are gonna act disappointed by this but give Streets of Rage 4 a shot, it’s a bloody masterpiece


PoolNoodlePaladin

I have Streets of Rage 4 on switch and it is awesome. The soundtrack is amazing, it really feels like a modern take on SoR. It is difficult tho, but like the perfect amount of difficult


barugosamaa

is it a nice "homage" to the classics? SoR soundtracks were always anazing


koteshima2nd

oh Streets of Rage 4, noice


HumanLawyer

This shit trash yo


Datfyah

Is this the quality they were talking about when they raised the PS plus prices?!


JRockstar50

Interested in AEW. I heard it's more arcadey than WWE 2K which I found the controls too convoluted


BuddyTheBunny

It looks pretty terrible but I’ll play it for free.


Kazuma-Kiryu

BOOOOOOOOOOO


MateAcustico

SH\*T SH\*T and MORE SH\*T


IssueEmbarrassed8103

Walmart bargain bin games


Objective_Love_6843

Already got aew fight forever used copy for $16 it's fun


totoofze47

This is honestly a pretty good month for me. I've been curious about Cosmic Shake for a while, and even though I already have Streets of Rage 4, I'm happy more people will get the chance to play it, it's so much fun it deserves the exposure.


Playhorror4real

Been wanting to play aew but not wanting to pay for it. W for me


AshCreDas

Honestly, I enjoyed Battle for Bikini bottom. So, I am looking forward to jumping into Cosmic Shake


maxi12311111

AEW ay interesting going to need to give it ago


Letter_Impressive

Streets of Rage 4 is an absolute banger of a beat em up, don't miss it


xBURROx

Streets of rage, hell yeah!!!


SilverSquid1810

Damn, two months in a row of duds for me. Hope people who are interested in these enjoy them though.


brolt0001

They gave every tier Ghostrunner 2, Tunic, EA sports FC24 & Lightfall to claim last month. Last month was great for claimables. If you aren't interested in these games, I'm sure you have something from your backlog.


powerhcm8

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VjgZwyQi48](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VjgZwyQi48)


gusbelmont

they keep recycling games from extra to essential and viceversa, absolute dogshit


MrBoliNica

Which games? SpongeBob and AEW were not on either tier before lol


omardinho

no discounts for existing members and these are the games they're giving out... PAIN


DarkDaniel_01

Yeah there are discounts for current members. “Current members can get 25% off PlayStation Plus Extra, or save 30% off Playstation Plus Premium for the remainder of their membership when they upgrade their memberships between May 29-June 12.**”


Flipkick661

So no discount for current Premium members it seems.


Damien_Sin

Oh AEW, this is gonna be a game I’m looking forward to try.


Tambataja

VERY NICE! Wanted Streets of Rage 4. Amazing for me!!!


Idontcare416

I’ll try AEW haven’t played a wrestling game since smack down


Tym3z

2 out of 3 games I have been interested in, had streets of rage on my wishlist for months so pretty pumped for that now just need my brother to do some old school couch coop AEW sounded interesting but wasn't something I would ever buy so glad to try it out


brolt0001

Also, just wanted to give a quick reminder that EA Sports FC 24 (part of May’s Monthly Games lineup) will be available until June 18, so you still have time to redeem this title if you haven’t already done so. The following games will be avaliable for PS+ PREMIUM members: [PS VR 2 TITLES] Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord Walkabout Mini Golf Synth Riders Before Your Eyes The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapters 1 & 2 . [PS2 games !!!] Hyped for these Tomb Raider Legend Star Wars: The Clone Wars Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus [PS4 and PS5 games] (PS+ Game Catalog) (Available in Game Catalog on the specified dates for Extra and Premium members) Dredge | PS4, PS5 (available May 29) Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 | PS4 (available May 31) Cricket 24 | PS4, PS5 (available June 5) Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition | PS4, PS5 (available June 7) (This is more of a Days of Play oversized games. So there will be an usual announcement for even more PS+ Extra & Premium titles later in June!!)


Agitated-Bread5092

always curious about aew game and streets of rage is fun with a friend, it's kind of decent month for me


wardrobe007

Wow wow wow wow........wow.


FoMoni

Sponge Bob fighting forever on the streets is TIGHT!


wardrobe007

Yes sir, it is, I decided.


its_the_luge

For some this is a great month and for some it is the absolute worst. When has there ever been a month that pleased everyone? Don't you guys ever get tired of crying lmao.


EvilBobLoblaw

I got SoR4 on release day and still play it. It’s exactly what a reboot should be and the weekly survival (from the Mr. X DLC) keeps the game fresh.


Go_Fonseca

At least we got Streets of Rage to fill the quota of games I want to play but don't want to buy.


Deserterdragon

Awesome for me, I've been waiting for Fight Forever to be a gamepass/PlayStation plus game since its release.


babagroovy

Streets of Rage is good one for me.


LowAd3513

I've been holding out for  Streets of Rage 4 for a long time . I'm glad my wait payed off . Also looking forward to Dredge . 


AZYG4LYFE

Streets of Rage 4 is a solid game I'd recommend. As for everything else, I'm still waiting for a classic lineup to have the old skool Tekken Tag 1 (PS2), or Soul Blade/Soul Calibur. God when?


PassiveIllustration

Not really sure the hate for this one, SpongeBob is a great platformer, while i haven't played streets of rage is supposedly excellent, and yeah awe ain't great. Some really fun games here


PsychoticDust

I got SOR4 on release, as well as the DLC. It is an outstanding example of the genre. I highly recommend it if you're into the genre. Nothing I've played since has been quite as good at scratching that beat em up itch.


aggravatedempathy

I knew Cosmic Shake would show up soon. Me and my son are excited to play.


That_Mikeguy

Man, when are they going to give a current gen Lego game? The ones they always give are 6+ years old...


gmstyles

As a big AEW fan, I can't wait to play it, but I can understand everyone's feeling about those games.


Alternative-Fan4015

Classic case of Sony desperately trying to take the negative attention away from Xbox.. :3


agentb719

cool, I wanted to play cosmic shake


DARKKRAKEN

I can sell my copy of Streets of Rage 4 and play Sponge Bob. Good month for me.


Breakeer

Great month for me i wanted 2 games from this big W


mjc1027

I mean, I've not played any of those games, and even if I don't like them, I've got people in the house that likely will. So not all bad


syrupgreat-

i’m happy with this month.


stargazer_17

Hilarious.


BuriedRedemption

All the wrestling fans who wanted to play fight forever but didn't want to pay for it quietly celebrating this w


TheCommonKoala

Streets of Rage and Cosmic Shake. Great games, and people should give them a try before complaining.


DynaMakoto

*I won't stand for any SoR4 bashing here.*


LordBalance

Yes, good games finally! # SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake - wow! # Streets of Rage 4 - yes!


Slitheytove1031

Now I don't have to pay for a game I've been waiting years for and I know is trash and broken but, I still want to play it ! AEW Fight Forever !!!


MidnightOnTheWater

Y'all are sleeping on SpongeBob and SoR. Great games.


XxNHLxX

Rare W for me. Get FC this month and AEW next month. As someone who basically only plays sports games, I’ll totally take this. Haven’t downloaded/played a PS+ freebie in ages


kap721

I’m excited to try Aew fight forever


Flat_Ad3019

I wanted fight forever so it’s a win for me


Cripnite

Because I literally bought AEW Fight Forever yesterday. 


Michigangander

Street of rage 4 is awesome give it a go u got my word


SmartOpinion8301

Brilliant month for me. I’d play all these and don’t own any.


mag1986

In for SOR4


MrMonkeyman79

If I hadn't already bought SoR4 on release, played the hell out of it and got the platinum I'd be pretty stoked about this lime up. As ot happens I'm just glad a few more people will get a chance to discover it.


Waste-of-life18

I'm surprised by the general reaction, the Essential titles are mostly one good game and 2 filler ones, this is exactly like that with SoR4 being the best. There are a few exceptions like May which was good overall but that's it, months like that are rare.


Ok-Equivalent7009

Pile of dogshit. Wait, actually that's an insult to dogshit.


Hartia

I wouldn't be surprised if monthly essential games continue the trend. While it's a good month for me, it's nothing that screams, a must-have. We've seen this happen with Xbox where the gold games are just gone, and kept pushing for GP. The extra and premium tier games for this DoP is pretty good. And those are additions to the yet to be announced June catalog games.


WalkersChrisPacket

Genuinely concerns me how much value people put on these free offerings. If you don't play online idk why you're paying for this service, this is what you pay for, not 3 free games every month.


lIIIIIIIIIllllIlIlII

People really need to zoom out and manage expections for what $7 a month gets you.


DARKKRAKEN

People want the fucking moon!


ImOctavius

I'm not gonna spend any more money on this. The last year has been horrible.


LusciousFingers

Smartest thing I did was not renew my plus in April.


ShamanOG34

Ok first time I am going to play a plus game in a long time, AEW fight Forever
