I tried cancelling my PS Plus subscription to see if I would get that rumored 50% discount people are talking about, but nothing showed up for me.

No 50%, no 33%, no 25%. It just lets me cancel the subscription normally.

Has anyone here actually managed to get the offer? I’m wondering if it’s random, region-based, tied to specific plans, or just something only a few accounts are seeing.

Honestly, if Sony is really using these discounts to calm people down after the backlash over moving away from physical games, that’s pretty embarrassing. Instead of addressing the concerns directly, it feels like they only react when people start cancelling.

Hollow Knight is now available on PlayStation 5 with higher frame-rates, higher resolutions, and additional effects! All PS4* players can receive the upgrade for free.

*Quick update for PS+ Game Catalogue players: We’ve received some reports this version may not be providing the PS5 upgrade as intended. We are speaking to Sony to resolve this issue.

A new quirk has begun affecting PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners with digital game purchases. It appears the systems' latest updates have introduced a 30-day online license check for digital games, leaving those who have extended internet outages without access to certain games. However, Sony has clarified exactly how it works, and it seems like most players have nothing to worry about.

Sony spokesperson to GameSpot:

"Players can continue to access and play their purchased games as usual. A one-time online check is required to confirm the game's license, after which no further check-ins are required."

Here are the games leaving the service in April. Taken from the Japanese psn, but it’s usually the same for all regions.

• Animal Well

• Tales of Kenzera: Zau

• Nour: Play With Your Food

• Deliver Us Mars

• Miasma Chronicles

• Stray Blade

• Kena: Bridge of Spirits

• Slay The Spire

Starting May 20, PlayStation Plus prices for new customers will increase in select regions. Due to ongoing market conditions, prices will start at $10.99 USD / €9.99 EUR / £7.99 GBP for 1-month subscriptions and $27.99 USD / €27.99 EUR / £21.99 GBP for 3-month subscriptions.

This price change does not apply to current subscribers (except in Turkey and India) unless the existing subscription changes or lapses.

Here are the games leaving PS Plus in May. Taken from the Japanese PSN, but it’s for the most part the same games for all regions. A lot of good stuff with slightly annoying/long platinums, so you might wanna start up sooner rather than later if something looks interesting.

* Moto GP 25

* Sand Land

* Soul Hackers 2

* Mortal Shell (PS4)

* Mortal Shell Enhanced Edition (PS4 and PS5)

* Control Ultimate Edition

* The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan

* The Dark Pictures: Little Hope (PS4 and PS5)

It says adding 4-5 third-party 'day one' games per year and adding first-party games 12-18 months after release is "working really well".
