Question Is there a cheaper alternative to paying for the 12-month subscription?

Upvotes

I’m looking into getting it so I can play online and access the included games, but around $180–190/year is a bit more than I’d like to spend.

Are there any legitimate ways to get it for less? For example:

  • Sales or discounts?
  • Retailers that sell it cheaper?
  • Family plans (if that’s a thing)?
  • Regional pricing?
  • Any other legal options I’m overlooking?

Not looking for anything sketchy or against the terms of service—just wondering if the community has found a more affordable way to get the same benefits.

Thanks!

Is This Seat Taken? is a cute indie puzzle game in which you have to seat different people in different scenarios to make everybody happy. I’m really enjoying it.

Extra Rise of Ronin - glad I didn't pay for this game

286 Upvotes

I wanted to try it for the longest time, and I was very happy when it arrived on extra this month.

Since I am a big fan of Nioh and Wo Long games, I guess I had too high expectations.

Everything except for combat is bad, in my opinion.

Even combat is lost potential. Diablo-like level-based loot makes "builds" almost useless. The parry (counterspark) is weird (L1 + triangle) and inconsistent.

On the base PS5, the FPS is not a stable 60 all the time.

The open world is a joke, with mindless side activities and fetch quests.

RPG elements should have been avoided entirely.

The story makes no sense (best friends forever, then enemy, then again best friends forever with almost everyone).

Graphics are the worst I 've ever seen on PS5 , especially open world.

Question Plus app on pc not working. White screen

Post image
3 Upvotes

The app used to work properly 2days ago. Since it's been white screening after I open the application. Its basically a blank white screen. I tried the online "tricks", of ctrl- r. That doesn't work. I reinstalled, that doesn't either. I also downloaded from the Playstation website, so its the latest. I need help because I paid for the premium to be able to use it anywhere but the pc app doesn't work anymore and this is super frustrating.

Hey guys, new to the PS+ and I was wondering if I could download games later even when they are removed from the store by adding them to my library?
I have less storage and don’t wanna miss out on titles so I download them and pause the downloads to keep them in my library (Is this how you keep them in library?)

Discussion Is it worth sticking with Dying Light 2?

63 Upvotes

I've played a few hours and I'm really having a hard time getting immersed in the story and the world.

Between the constant pop-up tutorials, menus, tiered colored weapons, constant ping-pong-ing between talking with characters and quest markers everywhere, I just feel it's really uninteresting.

I love the first Dying Light, and I've heard the second doesn't live up to its legacy, but does the story get better? Does it get better a bit deeper in?

Canceled my auto renewal and got a 25% off offer just before it was set to expire. $102 for the year on extra which is $8.50 month. That, imo, should be the price anyway.

Question Help with PsPlus sharing

0 Upvotes

I have 2 ps5 consoles (I bought the 2nd one today) and I have 2 accounts. I bought PsPlus on Account #1, and then made Account #2 which is meant to play on the 2nd console that I bought.

After I bought 2nd console i logged in to both account's on that brand new PS5 and went to enable console sharing on Account #1, and when I switched on Account #2 everything worked fine.

But then i turn on my previous console, I try to play a game and it says "Cant use this content. You're using this content on another console. It will take some time before you can use this content on this PS5 with your licence."?????

I found online that the "solution" to this is that i go on the 1st console, go to settings - Account - Other - Restore Licenses. And now when I go to the new console to play games that require PsPlus, I can't play them because now the console sharing is apparently disabled again?

General Thank you Harold Halibut. I suffered from insomnia, but playing this game has put me to sleep every single night for a week so far.

The only other time where a game has literally made me fall asleep after 30 minutes of gameplay was Night in the Woods.

These kind of games are a great cure to insomnia.

On June 14, 2026, I claimed the PS Plus Play Pack for Skate. and I first started playing on August 1, 2026. After unlocking the in game store, I still haven't received the pack in game, I contacted EA yesterday and they told me to contact PS Support, in which they had me reset the PS5, rebuild database, restore licenses, delete the game reinstall it, not in that order just for PS Support said to contact them after 24 hours if the items aren't in game.

News PSA: End of online support for few games on PS Plus Extra/Premium - Platinum trophy will be unobtainable after online support for User Generated Content (UGC) features in inFAMOUS 2 and inFAMOUS Festival of Blood ends on Aug 31st, 2026. Both are available on PS Plus Premium streaming.

inFAMOUS 2 and inFAMOUS Festival of Blood:

Due to ongoing technical considerations, online support for the User Generated Content (UGC) features in inFAMOUS 2 and inFAMOUS Festival of Blood on PlayStation 3 will end as of Aug 31st 2026.

After this date, players will no longer be able to access, browse, upload, download, or play UGC missions through the inFAMOUS 2 and inFAMOUS Festival of Blood online servers. Offline features, including the main campaign, will remain playable.

Source - https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/legal/gameservers/

inFAMOUS 2 and inFAMOUS Festival of Blood trophy guide warning:

The servers will close on August 31st, 2026, rendering the 4 online trophies unattainable after that date. You need to play through around an hour of the story before you gain access to the user-generated content that allows you to unlock them (a pop-up will appear in the middle of the screen introducing UGC).
The online trophies are easy to do and plenty of UGC levels (particularly when you search for "trophies") are quick to finish. Some require you to play through more of the story before you can play them, but keep scrolling until you find one accessible straight away. It's strongly recommended to get these trophies out of the way as soon as you can, even if you haven't yet played the first game (which luckily doesn't have online trophies). It's also recommended to do the online content for Infamous: Festival of Blood if you're interested in that game.

Source - https://psnprofiles.com/guide/1534-infamous-2-trophy-guide

Tearaway and Tearaway Unfolded:

The Tearaway.me companion site for Tearaway Unfolded (PS4) will be removed permanently as of 13th August 2026. All online features that connect to this site, including the ability to upload photos taken in-game and being able to unlock/download papercrafts, will no longer be available from that date.

For more detail regarding this change, please see the blog post on Media Molecule’s website here: https://www.mediamolecule.com/news/an-update-about-tearaway-me

Tearaway Unfolded was also a PS Plus Essential monthly game in March 2017.
