PS Plus Premium Update Adds 3 Fantastic PS2 Games

Key Takeaways

  • PS Plus Premium now offers PS2 classics Sly 2, Sly 3, and Jak and Daxter.
  • PS Plus Premium provides access to a large library of retro games.
  • More games are expected to come on December 17.

As a lifelong PlayStation enthusiast who’s seen the evolution of gaming since the early days of the original PlayStation, I must say that the latest update to the PlayStation Plus Premium tier has me absolutely thrilled! The addition of PS2 classics like Sly 2, Sly 3, and Jak and Daxter is a trip down memory lane for me. These games were a significant part of my gaming journey back in the day, and being able to revisit them on my PS4 and PS5 is nothing short of nostalgic bliss!

Just recently, additional PS2 classics have been incorporated into the offerings for the PlayStation Plus Premium level. By signing up for this tier, users gain access not only to all games from the Essential and Extra tiers but also a variety of retro titles that originated on Sony’s earlier consoles.

With a PS Plus Premium membership, users gain access to play classic games from the PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP consoles. Many of these titles come with improvements tailored to contemporary specifications, such as upscaling, a “rewind” function for older games, and occasionally even trophy integration. The library of retro games offered by PS Plus Premium is updated monthly, with two distinct updates scheduled for December 2024.

The latest update for PS Plus Premium in December 2024 has been activated, granting members the opportunity to relive three PlayStation 2 gems – specifically, Sly 2: Band of Thieves, Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, and Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. Notably, these are well-acclaimed 3D platformers that have now been added to the PS Plus Premium library. Interestingly, the first Sly game has already been available on PS Plus Premium, so the arrival of the other two means that enthusiasts can finally enjoy the entire original trilogy from the PS2 era on their PS4 and PS5 through their subscription to PS Plus Premium. That being said, these classic PS2 games are merely a sneak peek of what’s in store for December 2024, as there are more exciting additions yet to be revealed!

It’s looking very plausible that we might see another update for the PS Plus Premium service on Tuesday, December 17. However, Sony has kept quiet about which new games will be added to the service on this date. But rest assured, details should surface sooner than later. Interestingly, titles like Sly 2, Sly 3, and Jak and Daxter were recently added, not as part of the regular PS Plus Premium library update, but more likely in celebration of PlayStation’s 30th anniversary.

On December 17th, PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers can anticipate a significant change, regardless of whether new games are introduced. That’s because, at least 16 games from the PS Plus Extra tier will no longer be accessible on that day. Since all PS Plus Extra games are included in the premium subscription, this implies that those who have signed up for the top tier will lose access to these 16 games as well. However, it’s expected that new games will be added to both PS Plus Extra and Premium on the same day, which should make the change much more bearable.

It would be beneficial for PlayStation Plus members to learn about Sony’s Extra and Premium offerings for December 2024 ahead of time. For now, they can explore the new additions to the PS Plus Premium to keep themselves entertained in the interim.
