An image shows all the PlayStation Plus free monthly games that were given away to subscribers in 2022. PS Plus went through a major change in 2022 as Sony transitioned into a three-tiered service, with users in the Extra and Premium categories gaining access to various bonuses at a higher price.
Despite these changes, the core service remained unchanged as it got renamed to PS Plus Essential. Members in all three tiers continue to get around three free games each month, with 2022 ending on a high note as PS Plus subscribers received Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Biomutant, and Divine Knockout in December. One PlayStation Plus user has now made an image featuring all the games members got to play in 2022.
A Reddit user named Next-Primary-3924 has shared an image with all the PlayStation Plus free games Sony gave away each month. This post gives current and potential customers an overview of what PS Plus Essential can offer over the course of a year, and there are quite a few titles with high review scores in this list. Notable additions to PS Plus in 2022 include God of War, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Nioh 2, FIFA 22, Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, Deep Rock Galactic, and more.
Overall, Sony gave away games valued at $499.93 to PS Plus subscribers in 2022, while one year of the Essential tier only costs $59.99. This price excludes discounts or sales, so gamers subscribing to PS Plus during Black Friday would get even better value. It’s an impressive stat, that signifies the incredible value provided by subscription services like PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass.
Users in the comments section also share their love for PS Plus in 2022, with many of them listing out personal favorites. Indie games like Curse of the Dead Gods and Slay the Spire also receive some recognition, so it doesn’t seem like members are only focused on the AAA titles. On the other hand, one player mentions not playing a single free PS Plus game this year, but they plan on making it through Mass Effect Legendary Edition from this list.
The free monthly PlayStation Plus games for January 2023 have already been announced, as Sony is giving away Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Fallout 76, and Axiom Verge 2 on January 3. This lineup seems solid as well, so perhaps Sony will continue to add quality games to PS Plus in 2023.
