How to Find and Play Games Included with PlayStation Plus Extra
Find the Game Catalog on PS5 or PS4, download an eligible title, and check the membership limits before playing.
Before you start
You need an active PlayStation Plus Extra membership on the account you use on your console. Extra includes access to the Game Catalog; the games are available through the subscription, not added as permanent purchases.
Make sure the game is currently listed in the catalog. You can browse the PlayStation Plus games catalog or check on your console.
Have enough free storage to download the game. The supplied guidance does not specify how much space any particular game requires, so check its listing before downloading.
If you need to subscribe or manage your membership first, see how to subscribe to, manage, and cancel PlayStation Plus.
Find a game in the catalog
On PS5
From the Games home screen, scroll right and select PlayStation Plus.
Open the Benefits tab and select Game Catalog.
Browse the available titles and select a game to see its options.
You should see games available through the catalog. If you do not see Game Catalog, check that you are signed in to the account with the Extra membership.
On PS4
From the function screen, scroll right and select PlayStation Plus.
Scroll down and select Game Catalog.
Browse the titles and select a game to see its options.
The PS4 route uses the function screen and a vertical Game Catalog menu; it is different from the PS5 Games home screen and Benefits tab route.
Download and play a catalog game
Download on PS5 or PS4
Open the Game Catalog using the steps for your console above.
Select an eligible game.
Select Download.
Wait for the download and installation to finish, then open the game from your console or Game Library.
PlayStation Plus games can also be found in your Game Library. If the title does not offer Download, check that it is included in the catalog and that the account has the required membership plan.
Example: If you find a title in the catalog on PS5, select it and choose Download. Once installation finishes, check the Game Library for the game and start it from there.
Know what Extra includes
PlayStation Plus Extra includes the Game Catalog and the benefits of Essential, including Monthly Games. Monthly Games are a separate benefit from the Game Catalog; for how to find and claim them, see how to find and claim Monthly Games with PlayStation Plus.
Extra does not include the Classics Catalog or cloud streaming as listed benefits. PlayStation Plus Premium includes those benefits. The official access instructions say streaming also requires the correct membership plan, so do not assume an Extra membership lets you stream a catalog title. For supported streaming, the supplied PlayStation guidance lists a minimum broadband speed of 5 Mbps; 1080p streaming requires a game that supports that resolution and at least 15 Mbps. Streaming availability and supported features depend on the plan and game.
Troubleshooting and verify access
The catalog is missing: Confirm you are signed in to the console account with the Extra membership, then use the console-specific menu path above. If it still does not appear, consult PlayStation’s Game Catalog access and troubleshooting guidance.
A game is missing or has no Download option: Check the current catalog listing and the game's options. Catalog titles and plan eligibility can differ; do not treat a search result or store listing alone as confirmation that a title is included with Extra.
The download does not complete: Check that the console has enough free storage and that the download has finished before trying to open the game. For issues you cannot resolve, use the support link above.
You expected to stream: Streaming requires an eligible plan. Extra's listed catalog benefit is access to the Game Catalog; Premium is the plan identified in the supplied plan information as including cloud streaming.
To verify completion, find the installed game in your Game Library, open it, and confirm it starts. If you need plan-specific help, use the official support guidance linked above.
