PlayStation users are being treated to nine free games this month… but instead of celebrating, many are seriously frustrated. No joke.
Let’s be real — PlayStation Plus has been on a bit of a downward spiral. What started as a decently priced service offering a mix of decent (if mid-tier) games has slowly turned into a pricey subscription with games that… still feel kinda mid.
But hey, rant over. Here’s the actual list of the nine free games available now for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscribers:
- FBC: Firebreak
- Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted 2
- Battlefield 2042
- theHunter: Call of the Wild
- Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes
- We Love Katamari REROLL + Royal Reverie
- Train Sim World 5
- Endless Dungeon
- Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Whether this lineup justifies the rising PS Plus price tag is up for debate, and fans are debating it all over social media.
Unsurprisingly, users on the r/PlayStationPlus subreddit aren’t impressed with the latest lineup, and many are now saying they plan to ditch PlayStation Plus entirely in favor of Xbox Game Pass.
Here’s a refined and more polished version of your passage that maintains the original tone — passionate, slightly sarcastic, and gamer-authentic — while improving clarity, structure, and flow:
“Genuinely considering getting an Xbox just for Game Pass — like, what is this?” wrote Reddit user SakisSinatra. “They gave Battlefield with PS Plus Essential like a year ago.”
Another user, sonofacat, chimed in: “Xbox Game Pass subscribers are getting Day 1 access to their AAA titles, while we’re getting this s**t. LMAO, what a joke.”
Now, to be fair, there are some solid games in this month’s lineup. Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes and Endless Dungeon are both fun and worth checking out if you haven’t already.
But let’s talk about what Xbox Game Pass users have gotten in just the last month:
- The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered
- DOOM: The Dark Ages (Day 1 announcement)
- Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
- Metaphor: ReFantazio
And that’s just scratching the surface.
Considering how close Game Pass and PS Plus are in terms of price, you really have to wonder what Sony is thinking. The difference in value is becoming harder to ignore — and clearly, fans are starting to notice.
At this point, many players are fed up. Sony keeps hiking the subscription cost without delivering content that justifies the price, while Xbox is stacking Game Pass with premium day-one titles and fan-favorite classics.
Here’s hoping more people vote with their wallets — because gamers deserve better than this.
