Sony officially revealed its revamped PlayStation Plus model back in March 2022, and now they’ve announced a large number of the PS1, PS3, and PSP games set to be included with backward compatibility. Here’s every PlayStation Plus Premium game that has surfaced so far, as well as PS4 and PS5 titles.
After months of speculation, Sony’s long-rumored ‘Project Spartacus‘ was revealed to be a rework of its existing PlayStation Plus subscription. Widely seen as the company’s answer to the incredibly successful Xbox Game Pass, the membership has merged with PS Now and been broken into three tiers.
Those who go for the ‘Extra’ option will be treated to some of the biggest PS4 and PS5 titles as part of their membership. While those on the PlayStation Plus Premium tier will gain access to classics from the PS1, PS2, and PSP generations, all of which can be downloaded or streamed.
Sony have been keeping tight-lipped on which games will feature, but now they have revealed some of their hand.

PlayStation Plus is being reworked to compete with Xbox Game Pass.Rumored PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP games for PS Plus
We have a ton of games already confirmed for the service, but we know that Sony are committed to bringing a ton of new games to PS Plus as time goes on. As such, certain titles are being outed as potential additions to PS Plus.
At the moment, it seems like Capcom’s Dino Crisis could be on the way. If you’re unfamiliar with the franchise, think of Resident Evil, but swap the zombies for towering dinosaurs.

As you can see above, Regina, the main character of Dino Crisis is being advertised on the Hong Kong store under the PlayStation Plus section. It’s unofficial at this point, but don’t be surprised to see the cult survival-horror classic make a return.
According to reports from ResetEra, it seems as though Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee, Wild Arms, and Ridge Racer 2 have been confirmed for Asian PS Plus Premium members. However, it remains to be seen if these games will make their way to other countries as well.

This is great news for fans of Syphon Filter and also Trophy hunters, but this also opens up the exciting possibility of tons of great PS1, PSP, PS2, and unpatched PS3 games getting full Trophy support.
Rumored extra PS Plus features for PS1 and PSP games
As well as Trophy Support for retro titles, a new update suggests that players with access to these games will be getting more than just some potential extra objectives to complete.
A post on resetera has revealed that some of these games may be sold individually, but not only that, but they will have new, quality of life settings to increase a player’s experience.

- CRT filter for an authentic-looking visual
- Online play
- PSP Games are upressed

Will PS Plus games be 50hz or 60hz?
One of the big questions on people’s minds when it comes to the classic games is what hertz the games will operate at. Many PS1 classics typically ran at either 50hz or 60hz, and a higher number determines how smoothly the game would run.
The verdict is divisive so far as Japan’s PS1 classics are running at the healthier 60hz, whereas Asia has had to settle for 50hz.
Americas and Europe are still awaiting their new PS Plus service to drop, so it’ll be interesting to see what hz those continents will be able to enjoy games at.
Those are all of the confirmed games that are set to show up on the new PlayStation Plus service so far. More and more are likely to emerge closer to launch, so be sure to check back here for the latest updates.
