Check the listing’s access terms and any removal date, then confirm that your membership tier and country qualify. Monthly Games are separate: they must be added to your library while offered, and have different access rules.
Check the Game Catalog on your PS5
- From the PS5 Games home screen, scroll right and select PlayStation Plus. Sony’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalog instructions give this starting point.
- Open Benefits, then select Game Catalog.
- Search or browse for the game’s exact title. If it appears, open its listing and review the displayed access options and any removal date.
- Confirm that the catalogue and tier shown are available with your membership and in your country. Sony’s US PlayStation Plus page lets you browse games and compare plans.
A game appearing in the catalog means it may be available through the eligible plan while it remains in the service; it does not mean the game is permanently included. If you are deciding whether to subscribe or upgrade, check the live listing and your local PlayStation Plus page rather than relying on an old list or a mention for another region.
Know whether it is a Monthly Game or a catalog game
“Included with PlayStation Plus” can refer to two different benefits. The distinction matters: Monthly Games are offered to claim, while Game Catalog access depends on the eligible tier and whether the title remains in the catalog.
Monthly Games
To find them on PS5, go to PlayStation Plus > Benefits > Monthly Games. Sony describes these as games members can download and play at no extra cost during an active membership. Add a Monthly Game to your library while it is being offered; claimed games can be downloaded and played while your membership remains active. Check the official Monthly Games guidance for the applicable terms.

Game Catalog
The Game Catalog is a separate collection for eligible members. Titles can be removed, so check any end date displayed on the game’s listing. Access depends on both the title remaining available and your having the corresponding active plan.
Which US plan includes the Game Catalog?
This comparison reflects Sony’s US plan pages. Benefits and availability may differ by country, so use the local PlayStation Plus page and the game’s own listing for your account.

| US plan | Relevant game benefit | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Monthly Games; no Game Catalog in Sony’s US plan comparison | Whether the game is currently offered as a Monthly Game or was previously claimed to your library. |
| Extra | Monthly Games and Game Catalog | Whether the title currently appears in the Game Catalog. |
| Premium | Monthly Games, Game Catalog, Classics Catalog, and game trials | Which benefit the title belongs to and the access terms shown for it. |
For the current US comparison, see Sony’s PlayStation Plus plans page. A game in the Classics Catalog or offered as a trial is not necessarily a Game Catalog title; check the category and terms shown for that specific game.
