Free PS5 games collection removed from PS Plus subscription

In 2020, Sony introduced the PlayStation Plus Collection, a selection of 20 popular PS4 games that PS5 owners with a PS Plus subscription can play for free. But all good things come to an end, and Sony announcedthat on May 9, 2023, the PlayStation Plus Collection will be a thing of the past.

Throughout its existence, the composition of this collection has not changed much, except that a couple of games were added to it and Persona 5 was removed in 2022. Now it includes:

• Batman: Arkham Knight
• Battlefield 1
• bloodborne
• Call of Duty: Black Ops III: Zombie Chronicles Edition
• Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy
• Days Gone
• Detroit: Become Human
• Fallout 4
• Final Fantasy XV: Royal Edition
• God of War (2018)
• Infamous: Second Son
• The Last Guardian
• The Last of Us Remastered
• Monster Hunter World
• Mortal Kombat X
• Ratchet & Clank (2016)
• Resident Evil VII: Biohazard
• Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
• Until Dawn

Most of these games are available for free with a PS Plus Premium subscription - and it looks like Sony is urging Basic plan owners to upgrade to continue to have access to a permanent library of free games instead of relying only on monthly distributions.

Members of all PS Plus plans can add all of the games listed to their library until May 9th, at which time access will continue after the elimination of the PlayStation Plus Collection (but only if you continue to pay subscription).
