PS5 owners are set to lose out as the PS Plus Collection benefit is set to be axed in May, causing the service to lose even more value.
In its reveal of the PS Plus February 2023 lineup, Sony announced that it's removing the free PS Plus Collection which has been a perk for PS Plus members on PS5 since the console launched in 2020. The PS Plus collection is made up of 19 PS4 classics including Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, Fallout 4, and The Last of Us Remastered, to name a few.
PS Plus members have until May 9 to add the games to their library before the PS Plus Collection is scrapped for good. This comes alongside Sony’s Q3 fiscal report which notes that PS Plus subscribers are up by 1million since last quarter – but this follows a loss of 2million subscribers at the end of September 2022. So the service has seen somewhat of an uptick over the past three months, although it's been losing members overall since the PS Plus relaunch in June 2022.
