Imagine binning off the world's greatest demo disc. Well, on May 9, PlayStation is doing just that. It's killing the PlayStation Plus Collection, a PlayStation Plus perk exclusive to PS5 owners. Offered to anyone with a PS Plus subscription investing in a new PS5, it gives access to 20 games that included some of the best PS4 games for free as part of the subscription. Essentially it gave players a bank of PS5-upgraded titles to play from day one on their shiny new machines. But, it's being quietly retired, and the timing feels incredibly odd for one reason – access.
We've been tracking PS5 stock since before the console launched back in November 2020, and it's only in the last few months that it hasn't required excellent timing, forward planning, loophole finding, and a whole load of luck to actually buy a PS5. It's now at the point where you can walk into a shop or hop online and just nab one, which hasn't been the case for the last two years or so.
