PS+ trail and renewal and other minor questions
Hi all,
Totally new to the community, I jumped to a PS5 with the black Friday sales and since PS+ was 30% off I took that as well (premium).
Now i received a coupon for a 15 days trail with the new console, is this usable for 15 extra days or is it just wasted?
I am also not fully sure on how the PS+ works, if I redeem all the monthly games will I keep them or is that only for that month? Does it work the same for the games in the catalogue or are they treated differently?
Thanks already :D

Monthly games are yours to keep as long as you have at least an essential subscription. The catalogues are like Netflix. Games are added and removed monthly so you need to just be aware if a game you are wanting to play (or current playing!) is leaving soon. Extra gives you the main, more current games catalogue and premium gives you access to the classics catalogue.
Not sure about the trial situation, sorry! Enjoy your new console! Good gaming :)
If you need any recs let me know!
Thank you a lot for the very helpful answer!
I knew I wanted access to a catalogue of games, so essential was out of the picture, and the discount made it so it was not even a question (a few euro difference between extra and premium for a year of subscription)
But these infos are super useful, I guess I need to keep an eye on what I play to understand if it will be worth to downgrade to extra next year!
And any recommendation is welcome! I am out of the ps world since ps1 basically (played a few PS2 titles back in the day), i have been Nintendo only for the last 15 years basically!
Funny similar to you actually except I never owned a PlayStation (Nintendo guy since NES). On the classics the big ones for me was Unchartered 1-3 and God of War 3 remastered (watched a lore video since 1&2 aren’t on there but 3 gives his Greek saga an epic send off and then you can jump into the Norse reboot on extra). Couple of other gems in their if you look, I liked Gravity Rush a bunch and it’s sequel is on extra.
The extras just run through all those exclusives if you enjoy what Sony does best (narrative driven games that are almost cinematic). Also if you enjoy a good challenge, Bloodborne is an absolute classic, buts it a From game (soulslike) so it is punishingly tough. Other than that, I just like to scroll and look at the catalogue and if a game looks interesting I’ll look up some non-spoiler reviews just to get a sense of it. I’ve found some really good ones that way, with The Forbidden City being a standout. Last pitch because this is already too long I recently finished Alan Wake remaster and am currently playing Control, which takes place in the same Remedy supernatural universe. Both have been quite fun!
Well if you have stuck it out with this novel hopefully you have some things to go check out! Good gaming friend :)
