PlayStation’s Days of Play event brings PSVR 2 and PS2 games to PS Plus Premium next month
PlayStation’s Days of Play event is bringing a slew of PSVR 2 games to PS Plus Premium next month. In addition, the service will launch a PS2 classics catalog, starting with three titles.
The news comes from an official PlayStation blog post which went live today (May 28), detailing what PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 owners can expect from the Days of Play event starting on May 29. The event kicks off with a variety of themed PS Plus avatars that subscribers can download from the official PS Plus webpage.
From June 6, PS Plus Premium subscribers can download the full versions of five PSVR 2 games at no additional cost. These are Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord, Walkabout Mini Golf, Synth Riders, Before Your Eyes, And The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners – Chapters 1 and 2 (crikey, that’s a mouthful). These are of course only playable if you own a PSVR 2 headset.
Additionally, Sony will launch a PS2 classics catalog on June 11, also for PS Plus Premium subscribers. Only three games will be available at launch: Tomb Raider Legend, Star Wars: The Clone Wars as well as the first Cunning Kuiper game. Hopefully we’ll see a greater number of native PS2 games hitting the service from now on; I personally have hope for it Ridge racer 5 And Dynasty Warriors 3.
PS Plus Premium is the most expensive option in Sony’s three-tier subscription service, currently costing $17.99 / £13.49 per month or $159.99 / £119.99 per year. It’s quite a high price compared to other online subscription services, but these latest additions should be a fair way to add some much-needed value to PS Plus.
Elsewhere, the Days of Play event will also bring some discounts on PlayStation hardware, so stay tuned for deals and price cuts on top gear.
