Worth it?
Update: A full list of titles available on PlayStation Plus Extra and Deluxe is now available here thanks to the program’s debut in Hong Kong.
Original story: Sony has today detailed some of the games that will be included in new, tiered PlayStation Plus plans when they debut in just over a month.
For those unaware, a four-tiered PlayStation Plus system will be introduced in June; Australians will gain access to the first three tiers from 22 June. We will not be permitted to subscribe to its top-tier Premium plan, which offers additional titles including PS3 games via cloud streaming.
In terms of pricing, Essentials is $79.95 AU/year, Extra is $135.95 AU/year and Deluxe $154.95 AU/year.
Here are the titles you can expect in each tier, grouped by first- and third-party publishers and developers.

Those in Extra and Premium tiers (we’re asking Ubisoft if we get this as part of Deluxe in Australia, but we’d imagine so) will also gain access to the Ubisoft+ Classics subscription, which we’ve detailed here.
Sony has previously asserted that day one first-party releases will not be made available through Deluxe or Premium tiers as they would “deteriorate” quality.
What do you make of the availability detailed above? Which tier of PlayStation Plus will you be subscribing to?
You can expect the titles above as part of PlayStation Plus from 22 June here in Australia.
