PlayStation’s Days of Play event is bringing a whole bunch ofPSVR2 games toPS PlusPremium next month. On top of that, the service will debut a PS2 classics catalog starting with a trio of titles.
The news comes from an officialPlayStation Blog postthat went live today (May 28), detailing what PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 owners can expect from the Days of Play event which begins on May 29. The event kicks off with a variety of themed PS Plus avatars that subscribers can download from theofficial PS Plus web page.
From June 6, PS Plus Premium subscribers will be able to download full versions of fivePSVR 2 gamesat no extra cost. These areGhostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord, Walkabout Mini Golf, Synth Riders, Before Your Eyes,andThe Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners - Chapters 1 & 2(crikey, that’s a mouthful). Of course, these will only be playable if you own aPSVR 2headset.
Furthermore,Sonywill debut a PS2 classics catalog on June 11, also for PS Plus Premium subscribers. There will only be three games available at launch:Tomb Raider Legend, Star Wars: The Clone Warsas well as the firstSly Coopergame. Hopefully, we’ll see a greater volume of native PS2 games reach the service from here on out; I’m personally holding out hope forRidge Racer 5andDynasty Warriors 3.
PS Plus Premium is the priciest option in Sony’s three-tier subscription service, currently costing $17.99 / £13.49 per month or $159.99 / £119.99 annually. It’s a pretty steep price compared to other online subscription services, but these latest additions should go a fair way to adding some much-needed value to PS Plus.
Elsewhere, the Days of Play event will also bring some discounts to PlayStation hardware so stay tuned for deals and price cuts on some top gear.
