Explained simply
PlayStation Plus is Sony’s subscription service for PlayStation consoles. Extra and Premium are higher-priced tiers that include a changing library of games to download and play while they remain in the catalogue; Essential offers a different set of benefits without that library.
Sony adds games to the catalogue on a schedule, with availability sometimes varying by country and console. Extra members can access the main catalogue, while Premium also includes a separate selection of older games.
The service is one way Sony competes with other game subscriptions, including Xbox Game Pass. Its value to a player depends on which games are included and whether they play on the consoles supported by their tier.
