All the PS1, PS2, PSP, and PS3 RPGs for PlayStation Plus Premium/Deluxe

Sony Interactive Entertainment announced a new revamp to the PlayStation Plus service on March 29. This service is coming in three tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium/Deluxe. Premium is the standard name of the service for regions that offer cloud streaming, primarily to play PlayStation 3 games in what used to be PlayStation Now. Deluxe is the name of the service for the select markets that do not have the cloud streaming service offered to them, but they will still be able to play PS1, PS2, and PSP games.

Essential offers the same baseline benefits of PlayStation Plus as we know it today, with access to online multiplayer, cloud storage, and two free downloadable games monthly. Extra adds on a catalog of select PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 titles.

Now the Premium/Deluxe tier is something that has caught the eye of many PlayStation fans. This highest tier gives all the benefits of Essential and Extra, of course. It also opens the door to select PS1, PS2, PSP, and PS3 titles as well.

There are several caveats. PS3 games can only be played via cloud streaming. This service does not allow users to simply pop-in their old PS1, PS2, and PS3 discs into the PS5 and have those games function.

Sony Interactive Entertainment further clarified some finer details on its classic games catalog offerings.

PlayStation Plus Premium/Deluxe members will have a selection of popular classic games to play, with some titles that will show improved frame rates and higher-quality resolution compared to their original launch versions. For select original PlayStation and PSP classic games, members will also enjoy a new user interface with menus that allow you to save your game at any time, or even rewind the game if you want a do-over. 

Also, players who have previously purchased the digital version of select games from the original PlayStation and PSP generation will not have to make a separate purchase or sign up to PlayStation Plus to play these titles on PS4 or PS5. When these titles are released for PS4 and PS5, players can head to PlayStation Store and download a version for the consoles at no extra cost if they already own the digital version of the title. Some of the titles will also be available for individual purchase. 

Unfortunately, many older PlayStation RPGs we listed last year can only be purchased by accessing the PlayStation Store on PS3 or PS Vita. If players were able to build up their digital PS1 and PSP collections through them, they will be able to access them eventually on PS5 without needing to sign up for the PlayStation Plus Premium/Extra. To be clear, according to Sony Interactive Entertainment’s quote, players have to “download a version for the consoles at no extra cost” meaning that they will have to wait for that specific game to be made available on PlayStation Premium/Deluxe in order to play them.

We’ll update with more information as we hear it.
