"Also, players who have previously purchased the digital version of games from the original PlayStation and PSP generation will not have to make a separate purchase or sign up to PlayStation Plus to play these titles on PS4 or PS5. When these titles are released for PS4 and PS5, players can head to PlayStation Store and download a version for the consoles at no extra cost if they already own the digital version of the title. Some of the titles will also be available for individual purchase."

That's a big win. I've bought a few games on PS1 games on PSN (PS3). Thought they'd forgotten about those, and we'd have to re purchase them

Nintendo better be taking MAD notes on this!!!!

That's a huge win for those that have been within the PS ecosystem for 15 years now that purchased those classic games! After this announcement, I feel many will be okay with the decision when certain storefronts do end up getting closed now. I wonder if this decision was made after the insane backlash of the originally planned closure of the PSP, PS3, and Vita stores.

I might just subscribe for a month to play Guardians of The Galaxy lol.

That Multiversus trailer is looking good!

Its the only F2P game I'm excited for at the moment. Definitely going to download it when it launches.

Nice, I bought lots of them for my Vitas. So even less reasons (for me) to pay premium for the classic catalogue.

Oh yes, please do. Fantastic game! Combat can be repetitive but everything else is top notch. I try to get as many as possible to play this game!

Is this a good selection? I genuinely don't know.

Also, how does it compare, numbers-wise to GamePass? I can't seem to get any sort of consistency with answers on that. I search "How many games are on GamePass" and I get answers ranging from "over 100" to 460. I went to the Gamepass Library and it looks like 460 is the answer but if that's the case then why only market it as that instead of 'over 450 games'? I just don't get it. Likewise, anyone know what the current PSNow library is at? When I looked a while back I saw it as 700 but that seems absurdly high so I doubt that's the case.

It is a good list for newcomers or people that didn't buy many titles, but for me I already own every game I care except Valhalla which I'll buy when it is cheap.

What are some good PS5 games that take great advantage of the DualSense features? I just got Platinum on Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and the adaptive triggers and feedback from the controller blew my mind! I didn't really get the point of the DualSense when playing Spider-Man Remastered, which was my first PS5 game. It certainly had some moments where it clicked and felt pretty cool, like the Spider-Drone levels, but that was about it. Nothing much to write home about. Ratchet and Clank is where it ALL made sense! Every single gun, every shot, every jump, every action had its own super unique feel in the controller feedback and triggers. On top of it just being a great game in general :)

But....now I'm working on Miles Morales. Good game so far and I really like that there's not as much "busy work" compared to the 2018 game, but it just doesn't feel like it really takes much advantage of the DualSense. Maybe it has to do with it being a cross-gen game and Ratchet and Clank was exclusively current-gen? Either way, I would definitely welcome any suggestions that really stand out DualSense wise as Ratchet and Clank did. And I'll be sure to check it out once I'm done with Miles Morales.

Have you played Astro's Playroom? It's probably still the best use of the DualSense.

OMG I completely forgot about it! I was so excited that I finally got my PS5 after over a year and to play Spider-Man that I skipped over it altogether lol. I'll definitely experience it as I heard it's very much a love letter to PlayStation despite being more of a tech demo.
