Sony’s New PS Plus Games Schedule Causing a Ton of Confusion

Back in July, Sony announced that it will be “exploring new ways to deliver” PS Plus games, and the experiment isn’t going well at all. For some reason, the company wants to test a staggered release schedule for Extra and Premium games starting with Australia and Singapore, and the move has caused more confusion and frustration than anything else.

Sony may roll out its new PS Plus games schedule worldwide, players worry

The announcement was tucked away in a PS Blog post that many overlooked. “We’re exploring new ways to deliver PS Plus Game Catalog titles, so this month, in select markets including Singapore, games will be available on varying dates,” the company wrote.

The markets in question are Australia and Singapore. However, Sony didn’t rule out expanding this policy to other parts of the world. Understandably, players are worried.

PlayStation LifeStyle is one of the very few sites that has been covering the staggered release schedule since July (don’t worry, we got you), and in doing so, we have found that players in Australia and Singapore remain utterly confused about which games they’re getting and when, and are often upset that they can’t play some of the highly anticipated games along with the rest of the world.

Take this month, for example, where four of the games won’t be available to players in either of the two countries until September 30. Countless threads and social media posts pop up daily, with players asking why they can’t access Green Hell, Conscript, Crow Country, or The Invincible, only for players to be asked to refer to their local publications for more information.

I, like other players, sincerely hope this policy isn’t going to be expanded worldwide. So far, we’re not seeing any benefit whatsoever, and Sony hasn’t explained what its ultimate goal is.
