Best Games on the New PlayStation Plus – CNET [CNET]
The most notable PlayStation Plus inclusions so far include:
- Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut
- Guardians of the Galaxy
- Death Stranding: Director’s Cut
- NBA 2K22
- Returnal
- Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla
- Spider-Man: Miles Morales
- Fallout 76
- Red Dead Redemption 2
There are some notable games on that list, but it also lacks the blockbuster day-one vibe of Xbox Game Pass, which has big debuts like Halo Infinite. The more expensive Premium tier also includes download and streaming access to about 500 older games, mostly from pre-PS4 consoles.
However, there are plenty of cult and indie favorites, as well. I’m listing a handful of what I think are notable ones, and I’m soliciting similar suggestions from my colleagues for an update.
Here are my older or lesser-known picks so far:
- Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories
- XCOM 2
- Greedfall
- Uncharted: the Lost Legacy
- Pathfinder: Kingmaker
- Pillars of Eternity
- Tetris Effect
- Outer Wilds

And one odd but interesting thing I noticed is that there are a lot of Warhammer games included. I know next to nothing about Warhammer lore, but appreciate that it’s so deep and wide-ranging. And I’ve enjoyed games like Inquisitor (like a sci-fi Diablo) and the recent Chaos Gate (like XCOM with space marines). If you’re interested, the PS Plus list includes:
- Chaosbane
- Space Hulk: Deathwing
- Inquisitor
- Necromunda: Underhive Wars
- Space Hulk Tactics
I’ll update this list as more games are added, and as my colleagues remind me of top-tier classics I’ve missed.
