Sony Adds 13 Jeux AAA to PS Plus After France Price Rise
Jeux is the pitch Sony made two days after its new PS Plus prices took effect: 13 open-world AAA titles are now listed for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers on PlayStation 5 and PS4, without extra cost. The timing is the point. Sony is pairing a higher subscription bill with a catalog headlined by some of the most expensive games in the service.
The 13 games are Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077, Death Stranding Director's Cut, Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut, Fallout 4, Far Cry 6, Grand Theft Auto V, Hogwarts Legacy, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Star Wars Outlaws. Sony said they can deliver “des centaines d’heures de jeu,” and presented the titles as “gratuits” for members on the right tier.
France Prices After 20 May 2026
The new pricing grid entered into force on 20 May 2026 for new subscriptions, then spread progressively to existing subscribers after that date. In France, the monthly Essential plan moved from 8.99 € to 9.99 €, Extra from 13.99 € to 15.99 €, and Premium from 16.99 € to 18.99 €.
The three-month plans also moved up: Essential became 27.99 €, Extra 43.99 €, and Premium 54.99 €. The 12-month subscriptions stayed at the same price, which gives Sony one clear defense against the backlash around the monthly and quarterly tiers.
Thirteen Games, One Sales Pitch
Sony Interactive Entertainment published the PlayStation Blog article on 22 May 2026, and the catalog is the clearest counterweight yet to the higher fee. The company said the value of the 13 games would exceed 500 € even if each title were priced at an average of 40 €.
That math is doing the heavy lifting. Extra and Premium subscribers are not being asked to pay more for the same shelf; they are being shown a roster built from proven blockbusters and recent releases, including Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Star Wars Outlaws, while the service itself stays tier-gated.
Extra and Premium Access
The practical catch is simple: the games sit inside the rotating catalog, and access depends on staying on the correct tier. For members in France, that makes the new lineup less of a bonus than a price justification, especially after Sony cited “ongoing market conditions” — “conditions de marché actuelles” in the French version — for the increase.
That is the clean reading of Sony’s move. The company has answered the price rise with quantity, recognizable names and a value calculation that tops 500 €, but subscribers still have to decide whether the Extra or Premium tier is worth 15.99 € or 18.99 € a month before the catalog changes again.
