These changes reflect Sony’s shift toward prioritizing PS5-native experiences in the catalog.[5][7][8]

PS Plus trend in 2026: From January 2026 onward, Sony emphasized PS5 titles in the Monthly Games and Game Catalog, with PS4 games no longer guaranteed and appearing only intermittently. This policy continued into 2026, affecting the value proposition for PS4 owners. Multiple outlets summarized this as a PS5-first strategy for PS Plus during early 2026.[3][6][9][5]
