Should you buy it?
You should buy if
If you love PlayStation games, especially PS classics
You shouldn't buy if
The number of games on PlayStation Plus Premium will keep you busy for literal years, with Sony set to keep refreshing its selection so you never run out of things to play.
If you already have any other PS Plus tier
PlayStation Plus Premium is not worth the increase in price from PS Plus Essential and Extra with all the best perks available in the former two tiers.
Final Thoughts
Matt Poskitt
Sony’s new PlayStation Plus Premium is a big step up with hundreds of superb games and a decent number of exclusives to keep you occupied for years to come. While its cloud streaming service is not at the level it needs to be quite yet, its classics collection, first-rate online multiplayer experience and further perks do make for a rather well-rounded package.
