PS Plus Premium May Refresh Adds Exactly One PS1 Game

Sony confirmed the May 19 PS Plus wave, and the Extra tier looks healthy on paper: seven titles including Red Dead Redemption 2 and Star Wars Outlaws. The Premium "classics" tier — the part subscribers pay an extra $40 a year for — gets one game, the PS1 light-gun shooter Time Crisis. A single classic per month has held for months running now — that's not a slip, it's the strategy. The polite read is that Sony is rationing back-catalogue drops to keep subs renewing for the next eleven months. The less polite read is that the Premium tier is being quietly hollowed out while the marquee adds keep landing on Extra. RDR2 on Extra is genuinely a great add — but it's also exactly the kind of headline that lets the Premium thinness slide past most coverage.
