Following this week’s PS Store update, which included the PS Plus Additional live games, new PS1 classics added. Normally these games are only available to PS Plus Premium subscribers, but it looks like Sony has flipped the script and made them available to everyone.
New PS1 Classics No Longer Need Premium
New PS1 classics including Wild Arms 2, Harvest Moon: Back to Nature and The Legend of Dragoon no longer require PS Plus Premium to play. Instead, they can be purchased outright and not tied to a subscription.
The Legend of Dragoon was the first game to be detected as purchasable. It’s available for £7.99 / €9.99 / AU$14.95. Wild Arms 2 is the same price, while Harvest Moon: Back to Nature is priced at £4.99 / €5.99 / AU$8.95.
While there’s no official statement from PlayStation or a PS blog detailing the changes yet, the fact that all three new PS1 Classic games are available for purchase suggests this is entirely intentional and not a bug or bug. one-time problem. .
While many PlayStation gamers will be happy to see PS1 Classics available to all users, those with a PS Plus Premium subscription will likely be less pleased, as one of the main reasons for subscribing to the higher tier was to gain access at Classics. . .
