Beyond that, however, Sony hasn’t really rocked the boat withPS Plusmuch in 2024. Certain practices have shifted, but for the most part, its biweekly reveal/release pattern, its emphasis on PS Plus Extra, and the overall simplicity have remained. It would be interesting to see how Sony could really shake this up if the company wanted to, but for the most part, fans should expect a simplistic, similar approach in 2025 as they’ve seen over the past two years. That’s certainly not a bad thing, though, given the sheer quality of PS Plus and its offerings.

PS Plus Essential in 2025

Essential is today what PS Plus has always been: the key offerings and appetizers to PS Plus. Withthree standard PS Plus gamesevery month, fans can get a little treat as well as access online services. The best thing PS Plus Essential has done, in terms of appealing to a mass market, is standardize the approach. In the past, fans have seen months with two games, with very clear patterns, and an “anything goes” mantra. The introduction of Plus Essential has kept it to a consistent three games a month. That standard and consistency helps fans know the bare minimum expectations of PS Plus each month. As such, if nothing else, PS Plus Essential will likely end 2025 the same way it began.

PS Plus Premium in 2025

Again, though, whether Sony expands and diversifiesPS Plus Premium in 2025or not is up in the air. It could go either way: remaining more or less the same as Essential or Extra OR slowly adopting new diversification tactics to make it appeal more. It’s hard to say right now, but without any major clear trendsetters on the horizon (PS5 was big for PS Plus, so the PS6 would be too, as an example), it’s more or less expect the same in 2025.

PS Plus Predictions for 2025

Either way, PS Plus has always been a premium service for a premium gaming experience, and that won’t change any time soon.
