Free PS3 And PS Vita Games Not Included In PS Plus From 2019

Fair enough. And they're giving basically a year's warning, AND both platforms are fairly dead in the U.S. (although vita is still supported-you can't BUY one, but there's some good new games coming out pretty regularly from third parties).

This isn't a good way to compete with what Microsoft is offering with XBox Game Pass.

Firstly the games are not "free" as you are renting them with your subscription, when that stops you cannot play them.

Dropping 6 games to 2, well that sums up the market doesn't it, pay more year year and get less and less with it, im glad i have kids now and dont get chance to play online, cancelling my subscription ages ago.

At least switch has now subscription yet, until September anyway.

Going from 6 games to 2, regardless of the discount, is pretty steep - especially when in the UK (not sure about other countries) they actually upped the price of the subscription.

"the total number of games given away each month with PS Plus from March next year will be two, down from six right now"

This has me a little worried...

The benefits of PS Plus just keep getting better and better, totally worth the cost of admission, thus PC Gamers who brag about free online multiplayer don't know they're talking about, just look at all you're getting with PS Plus.

Maybe both MS and Sony should stop making hardware and just make games for PC. It makes sense in every way to have one big powerful platform and system you make your way. There is really no limitations, games from all periods of time can be played, games look and run best, mods for games, free online etc.

Dont get me wrong, love my PS consoles, own every one of them but consoles are starting het out dated pretty fast by PC. And this whole 4K push when many games couldn't always run 1080p at 60 fps most of the time.

PS+ will be more worthless next year. PS3 was a great console with a big library of games. Give us BC on PS5 greedy bastards.

12 year life cycle for ps3, not too bad

Idk why people think this possibly means a ps5 next year. I think its to early for that. I think a 2020 release makes more sense. They are making a lot of money on ps4 so why stop and come out with a new generation?

I would suspect this is the prelude to them shutting down PSN and the PSN Store on PS3 and PS Vita. The PS3 is 11 years old and the Vita is 6 and never took off.

If sony doesn't care about the ps3 or vita anymore they should do at least 1 more update on each allowing them to be hacked. It would help them liquidate their remaining inventory and let us modders have the ps3/vita we always dreamed of without having to pay a lot of money for consoles running exploitable firmware.

Let the PS 5 rumors commence!

-TIN FOIL NINJA APPROVED-

I see nothing wrong with this, were nearing to the next generation, and they already gave enough that they probably don't have anything else to offer. As for the Vita, well, there is nothing to actually offer since there hasn't been any major releases for it outside of Japan, all that is to offer are indie games. Though it would have been nice to give a little more insight on what they will improve by removing the two platforms. Will they raise the quality of free games released for the PS4? Will they improve other services offered in the PS Plus subscription? Or will they add new services?

I really wish they would put the PS1 classics on the PlayStation store. I would love to be able to play all the ones I’ve bought on there without having to switch to my PS3.

I dont have a problem with this remember that by 2019 they will be getting ready to release the ps5 then you will have to give psplus game to the ps4 and the ps5.
