PlayStation has organized a compilation of various curiosities about the PS Plus plan.

The service, which was reformulated and relaunched in June 2022, has three subscription plans available – Essential, Extra and Deluxe – and several advantages for users, from test launches, the possibility of playing online and a wide variety of games that serve to different player profiles, which vary monthly with the entry and exit of new titles.

But beyond the hundreds of games and various advantages, there are countless curiosities that may interest gamers and PlayStation fans. To carry out this survey, the December 2023 catalog was used as a reference.

How long would it take to clear PlayStation Plus?

With hundreds of games cataloged on the service, users who dare to take on this extreme challenge will need to spend a huge amount of time. For this calculation, the website HowLongtoBeat was used, which in free translation means “How Long to Reset” and which indicates the time needed to complete games.

The duration of PlayStation Plus games is exactly 26,482 hours, the equivalent of playing video games for more than three years in a row. In that time, it would be possible, for example, to watch 46 editions of the Brazilian Championship uninterruptedly, from the first to the last round, or then fly the largest commercial flight in the world, from New York to Singapore, more than 1,300 times.

The top 5 games that require the most time are:

1. Elite Dangerous (630 hours)
2. Sid Meier’s Civilization VI (330 hours)
3. Stellaris: Console Edition (317 hours)
4. Fallout 76 (305 hours)
5. Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town (274 hours)

What memory capacity do PS Plus games require?

With so many game options in the catalogue, the user has to choose which adventure they will download on the console first before continuing to complete PlayStation Plus. To assess the space needed, data provided by the PlayStation Store itself was collected for each game, but it is worth noting that this number could be even higher with updates or DLCs.

To download all the titles, more than 9.6 TB would be needed, the equivalent of 12 standard PlayStation 5 units. In this capacity, it would also be possible to download more than 30 thousand times the combination of apps from the world’s main social networks – WhatsApp, TikTok, Facebook and Instagram. If you are a lover of games on physical media, it would be possible to stack so many CDs that we would have a building twice as big as the Burj Khalifa, which is in Dubai and is the largest skyscraper in the world, measuring 828 meters high and 160 floors.

The top 5 PlayStation Plus games that take up the most space are:

1. Far Cry 6 (158GB)
2. GTA V (140GB)
3. Sniper Elite 5 (125GB)
4. Mortal Kombat 11 (124GB)
5. Doom Eternal (123GB)

How much would it cost to buy all the PlayStation Plus games?

For those who value a good economy, this topic is a big deal. To carry out this survey, the full values ​​of the games present on PlayStation Plus in December were considered, without the use of temporary PlayStation Store promotions – another great benefit exclusive to subscribers of the service.

With the sum of all the titles in the catalog – R$ 78,537.52 – it would be possible to buy a new car, twenty units of the new PlayStation 5 slim model, or even 145 years of annual subscription to PlayStation Plus Deluxe, the best plan available .

The best games according to the community itself?

In an update made available in September last year, users gained the ability to rate the games they purchased or acquired, granting a rating from zero to five stars. In this way, it was possible to reach the top 10 ranking of the best games in the community.

First place is one of the greatest classics in the history of video games, marking generations and a favorite of many gamers. This title was released in Japan on January 31, 1997 for the first PlayStation by a Japanese studio: Final Fantasy VII is at the top of the list with a rating of 4.91, considering more than 50 thousand reviews.

Second and third place also belong to Square Enix, with Final Fantasy IX, which received a score of 4.86. Launched in 2000, it had 91% five-star ratings. Completing the podium is Final Fantasy X/X-2 – HD Remaster, with a rating of 4.83.

What are the oldest and newest titles on PlayStation Plus?

From big AAA releases to timeless classics, PlayStation Plus is suitable for all audiences. In this case, the service places the launch date on which the game “up” in the PlayStation Store cloud instead of the official launch day around the world. This criterion was then adopted to choose the oldest games available in the catalogue.

The oldest game that was cataloged within the PlayStation Store was GTA V. Released on September 17, 2013, it became a community classic. That same year, other famous titles arrived, such as Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag, Resogun, Knack and Killzone. On the other hand, the game that was actually released the longest and is present in the catalog is Super Star Wars, which reached the public on November 1, 1992.

Regarding the new additions to PlayStation Plus, the most recent is Sea of ​​Stars, considered the best independent game by The Game Awards 2023.
