Sure thing, here goes:

So, picture this. June 13, 2022. Sony, like, decides to shake things up with the new PlayStation Plus in North America. You got three tiers now, and it’s all mixed with the old PS Now. Depending on what tickles your fancy, you’ll get access to cool services and games. Basic, right? But let’s dive into this wonderful mess.
First up, PlayStation Plus Essential. For about 10 bucks a month, it’s the old PS Plus we all know. Online access and those sweet monthly free games. Discounts too. We good? Great. Now, for some extra fun, there’s PlayStation Plus Extra at 15 bucks. Grab all the perks from Essential and toss in hundreds of PS4 and PS5 games. Sounds like a deal, maybe. Then you got Premium for $17.99. It’s like the full buffet. Classic games library. Talking PS3 right down to PS1. And don’t forget trials and cloud streaming. But that’s limited to certain places—because why not make it complicated, right?
So, Premium’s got over 700 games, and honestly, it’s like two decades of history. Sounds overwhelming? Yep. And Sony’s magical app doesn’t exactly make it simple to wade through all that. But hey, highlights are helpful—especially if you’re gonna throw down some money each month. Every month, Sony surprises us with some new titles. Mostly PS4 and PS5 stuff, but sometimes it’s classic gold.
Moving on, it’s June 17, 2025. Crazy, right? Mark Sammut updated this piece and we got new games for PS Plus Extra and Premium. It’s a mixed bag. Nothing here screams, “Subscribe now!” but they dabble in various genres. Oh, and there’s a Day 1 game, which is this shooter called FBC: Firebreak. If you love co-op games, you gotta try it.
Monster Hunter Rise? Yeah, it’s gone now. Let’s shed a tear or not, and move on.

### FBC: Firebreak
It’s early days for this one, so calling it “the next big thing” feels… optimistic? Like, it just launched on PS Plus Extra/Premium and Game Pass. And it’s crossplay. So, if you’re into first-person shooters, now is your moment. Jump while the water’s warm, or however that saying goes.
Solo play? Technically possible, but I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s all about 3-player co-op. Pick your kits and weapons, handle some objectives, and you’re good to go. It’s kinda like Deep Rock Galactic, but with more old-school FPS vibes.
—
### God Of War Ragnarok
Boy, oh boy. God of War fans, rejoice—or whatever the appropriate reaction is. Ragnarok wraps up the Norse saga. Or so it claims. Kratos vs. Odin, the looming Ragnarok, destroy-all-realms kind of vibe. Familiar gameplay, but with spice—new weapons, and buddy moments with characters besides Atreus. It’s big, bold, and apparently comes with Valhalla, an epilogue mode that… does things right.
—
### The Last Of Us Part 1
From PS3’s swan song to a PS5 makeover. The Last of Us nailed it back then and does it again. Haven’t played it? Dive in now. Otherwise, maybe hold off. Joel and Ellie, fungus infection, post-apocalypse America, the works. Gameplay’s intense. Story? Absolutely iconic. Must-play for newcomers.
—
### The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Ah, The Witcher 3. RPGs, take note. This game taught the genre storytelling and world-building. Been around for ages—yet still casts its shadow. Many have played it, maybe too many? But hey, never hurts to give Geralt a whirl if you haven’t. PS5/PS4 versions await with grand quests, quirky characters, and a whole world to explore.
—
### Cult Of The Lamb
Is it cute? Dark? Both? Cult of the Lamb is hilariously grim. You’re a Lamb, building a cult, knocking down bishops, and occasionally sacrificing followers. It’s like roguelikes with a narrative twist. Humor’s spot on. Plus, it’s mighty fun managing your cult town, and the characters evolve too—go figure.
—
### TimeSplitters 2 And Future Perfect
Remember when FPS games were just a blast? TimeSplitters was epic. Ported to PS4 and PS5, both classics are fine for solo or with pals. Time travel madness in TimeSplitters 2 versus a more story-centered romp in Future Perfect. Both rock, just differently. Nostalgia trip approved.
—
### Bloodborne
If Gothic tales and fast-paced brawling tick your boxes, Bloodborne’s your game. FromSoftware delivers with atmosphere and brutal challenge. Stick with it—kind of… wins you over despite its quirks. Worth every hair-pulling moment.
—
### Celeste
Celeste, sweet Celeste. A sidescroller that tosses you into Madeline’s world, a mountain climb reflecting her inner battles. It’s hard but meaningful. A soundtrack to remember and gameplay to finesse. It tells a story—yours to discover.
—
### Dave The Diver
Yeah, it’s 2024, and Dave made the big splash on PlayStation. Weird combo, right? Fishing by day, restaurant by night. But somehow, it all works. Dive in the ocean, get your seafood, feed your patrons. Simple yet captivating.
—
### Chivalry 2
Medieval battles on a massive scale. You got Chivalry 2 and Mordhau in the same playground. While Mordhau’s all about precision, Chivalry lets loose with chaos. Perfect for that adrenaline rush, or just whacking enemies for giggles.
So there you have it—chaotic, mildly insightful, and one heck of a rundown. Maybe you’re now itching for a controller. Who knows.
