LAST MONTH ON PS PLUS

We said goodbye to PS3 and PS Vita titles on PS Plus last month. In March we said hello to a new era. Part of that was welcoming a whopping 100GB of online storage for all your save data on top of the already included subscriberonly store discounts, freebies, and access to online multiplayer.

As long as you stay subscribed, you’ll have access to all the PS3 and PS Vita titles you’ve redeemed up until this point. But going forward the lineup will be PS4focused. March boasted two titles.

First up was Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. Rightly described as one of the best remasters around (we enjoyed it back in issue #130), it was developed as the result of a fan petition and initially released as part of a bundle for Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Thanks to PS Plus you could enjoy the remaster’s updated visuals as a standalone package… though with all-new microtransactions and without the map pack DLC. The core package presented an FPS classic that could be enjoyed in 4K thanks to PS4 Pro support. The side of chips with your COD took the form of The Witness. This puzzle game placed you upon a mysterious island. You’d no idea who you were, where you were or how you got there. All you knew was that there was a whole load of maze and pattern puzzles waiting for you. A slow-burn compared to the action-packed Modern Warfare, it was the perfect palate cleanser.

Due to the nature of print, we’ve yet to see in what other ways PS Plus will attempt to compensate for the fewer games each month. While 100GB of online storage is nothing to sneeze at, few members of team OPM had used up the entirety of the original 10GB allowance. Honestly, we’re still reeling from the possibilities presented by ten times that amount of storage.
