The 19-game collection will be discontinued on May 9, according to an email issued to members, who have until that time to add the titles to their game library. Although Sony didn't give a reason for closing the collection, it does make it clear that other PS Plus benefits, like the monthly games, won't be impacted. The entire message is provided below:
“From May 9 the PlayStation Plus Collection will no longer be available as a PlayStation Plus benefit. You can add any of the titles from the PlayStation Plus Collection to your Game Library before May 9 and play at any time in the future with an active PlayStation Plus membership.
PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, Monthly Games and other existing benefits will not be affected by this change.
Thank you for your continued support of PlayStation Plus.”
The PS Plus Collection currently consists of the following titles:
The studio announced the news in a short and quick tweet , stating that the feature would be released in Ragnarök Spring 2023. What to anticipate, though, is uncertain; Santa Monica Studio says it will "share more details as we get closer to the release."
We know many of you have been asking, so we’re happy to confirm that New Game Plus will be coming to #GodofWarRagnarok in Spring 2023!

The sequel from Insomniac Games continues the story of Peter Parker and Miles Morales as they take against Venom, as hinted in the first two games. We still don't know much about the sequel, but we do have a more specific release date.
PlayStation Plus Premium (Classics)
PlayStation introduced these 20 titles last week, and as promised, all of them are now accessible to play with particular PlayStation Plus subscriptions as of today. Here's a look at all 20 games:
The basic bundle will cost $549.99. It comes with the headset, two PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers, and stereo headphones.
If you want to play anything right away, the PlayStation VR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain combo is for you. This version costs $599.99 and includes a digital voucher for the first-person Horizon spin-off in addition to everything else in the normal bundle.
Want to charge your controllers without taking up your PS5's USB ports? Take a look at the PlayStation VR2 Sense controller charging station. For $49.99, this standalone dock refreshes your VR gamepads by just clicking them into the base without the need to connect to a console.
According to Sony, pre-orders will be available on November 15. During the launch period, the sole way to pre-order will be through the direct.playstation.com online shop for the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Beginning today, you may register to pre-order, and purchases placed through the web store will be mailed during launch week. Customers in other areas, however, will have to reserve the PS VR2 through local shops.
Eleven additional PS VR2 titles have also been announced. You can read about each one in depth on the PlayStation Blog, but here's a quick rundown of what they are and when they will be available:

The company also discussed how it will deal with non-VR material. The PSVR2 headset will have a 1080p "Cinematic Mode," which will display the PS5 interface and traditional games on a virtual screen at refresh rates ranging from 24Hz to 120Hz. If you've used VR previously, this will be a fairly familiar experience, but it will still be useful if you don't want to remove your headset to adjust system settings. Native VR material is shown at 4,000 x 2040 with a refresh rate of 90Hz or 120Hz.
Other well-known features exist to avoid accidents. A "see-through" option allows you to swiftly scan the environment to prevent collisions or locate your controllers. You may also create a personalized play area that will alert you if you get too close to the couch or TV. This isn't a new idea, but it might be critical for apartment dwellers and those with limited room for walk-around VR experiences.
Earning points may require you to "win tournaments, achieve special trophies, or even be the first player to platinum a blockbuster title in your local time zone," according to Chen. In addition, PlayStation Stars will include a "monthly check-in" campaign that gamers may complete just by playing a game.
Points may be used for incentives such as PSN wallet dollars or certain PS Store merchandise. Users who subscribe to PlayStation Plus also benefit from the automated accumulation of reward points while completing purchases.
Loyalty points may also be used to purchase "digital collectibles." Digital figurines of game characters or ancient PlayStation gadgets are examples given in the text. These treasures will undoubtedly vary in rarity, with Chen adding that gamers would always have "super rare" goods to pursue.
These collectibles may appear to be NFTs, but they are not. As Chen insists in a Washington Post interview, these digital objects cannot be bought or sold, and PlayStation Stars makes no use of blockchain technology. "It's definitely not NFTs." "Definitely not," Chen adds.
