Redeem the PS5 PlayStation Plus Collection Before It's Removed This May

Sony Interactive Entertainment announced that the PlayStation Plus Collection, which offers 19 PS4 games for free to all PS5 users subscribed to PlayStation Plus, will only be available until May 9. This was announced together with reveal of the Monthly Games lineup for February 2023.

Here are the 19 games that are in the PlayStation Plus Collection (Persona 5 was the 20th game, but was previously removed) :

• Batman: Arkham Knight

• Battlefield 1

• Bloodborne

• Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 (Zombie Chronicles Edition)

• Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy

• Days Gone

• Detroit: Become Human

• Fallout 4

• Final Fantasy 15

• God of War

• Infamous Second Son

• Monster Hunter World

• Mortal Kombat X

• Ratchet and Clank

• Resident Evil 7: Biohazard

• The Last Guardian

• The Last of Us Remastered

• Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End

• Until Dawn

How do I claim these PlayStation Plus Collection games for free?

Not all is lost as you have a few months to redeem these games and add them to your account. Even when the PlayStation Plus Collection goes away after May 9, as long as you’ve redeemed the game, you’ll be able to play them while subscribed to PlayStation Plus. 

This collection is for those with a PS5. Simply:

• Navigate and click the PlayStation Plus tile found on the leftmost part of the PS5 homescreen

• Once selected, head to the ‘Benefits tab’ and press the ‘PlaySTation Plus Collection’ tile

• Press ‘View Games’ then start adding the games not in your PlayStation Plus library (you’ll know if you’ve redeemed the game if you see ‘In Library’ on the bottom left of the game’s thumbnail)

The PlayStation Plus Collection was meant to give PS5 owners a collection of games to play around with during the console’s first few months out in the market. At the time, the PS5 didn’t have that many titles out in 2020. I guess Sony feels the purpose of the collection is now irrelevant considering that they now have the Game and Classic Catalog updating regularly each month as well as the usual Monthly Games offering to all of their subscribers.
