PlayStation Plus Users Are Canceling Their Subscriptions Due to FOMO and Lackluster Offerings With the Service
Although anthonybrothers was tempted to renew their PlayStation Plus subscription, they decided to cancel it and play some of the old games they purchased which they couldn’t play while finishing and earning platinum trophies from the games featured inthe monthly PlayStation Plus catalog. The user believes there have been 100 more Reddit posts like theirs, and the comments under their post seemingly reinforce that belief. Reddit users like First_HistoryMan, Rlexii, and Ilovesushi5 have already canceled their subscriptions, since they’ve found value in buying games separately or playing newer single-player titles likePath of Exile 2orAtomfall. However, some players like Filan1 warn that players should back up their saves locally on PS4 and PS5 before canceling their subscriptions, since online saves will be removed and could make players lose progress in their games.
Although PlayStation Plus subscriptions may no longer bring enjoyment to some players, there are still some exclusive features that users may want to take advantage of, including cloud streaming and access to free classic games at the Premium tier. However, PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium may want to take note of the games leaving the service soon.Several games are leaving PlayStation Plus on April 15, includingAnimal Well,Deliver Us Mars, andTales of Kenzera: Zau.
