I am trying to decide which of the PS+ tiers to buy; specifically, I’m debating between “extra” and “premium”. The Premium tier alludes to there being more games, but it’s really hard to find a venn diagram somewhere with specifically which high profile games are in Premium but not Extra.

Is premium worth the extra? I’m really only interested in playing bundled games. I wouldn’t use any of the other features.

What has y’all’s experience been?

How was the streaming performance for the classics?

I’ve never streamed a game before.

I didn’t have any issues streaming, but I do have a 500mbs connection. The service seemed stable enough for me and I didn’t notice any stuttering or anything.

I used the streaming for years when it was psnow. The only problems I ever had were on my own home network. Any time a streaming game got laggy or I straight up couldnt connect: it was always something in my house. Too many people trying to watch 4k Netflix while I was trying to play… dad’s new pc hoggin all the bandwidth to do backups right after supper time… hell, even the ps4 trying to download an update will mess with the ps4 trying to stream at the same time.

All that being said: I dont think premium is worth it unless you want the classic PS1/2 catalogue, or you plan on doing a ton of streaming-play on a pc. Because that’s the only difference from Extra really.

Extra however is a goldmine. Every game Ive played this year was from Extra. I havent even touched the other free monthly games that come with the cheapest Essentials yet. Just a pile of AAA games since December. Miles Morales, Tsushima, Guardians of the Galaxy right now…
