PlayStation Plus Premium January 2023 Game Trials Are Impressive

Sony entirely revamped the PlayStation Plus in June 2022 and introduced two new tiers; PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium. Premium, the highest tier of the PlayStation gaming subscription model, gives users the most benefits. 

PlayStation Plus Premium has all the benefits of Essential and Extra, and on top of that, it gives you access to cloud streaming and classic games<span style=”font-weight: 400″> from PlayStation 3, 2, 1, and PSP. The most enticing feature of PlayStation Plus Premium is the limited game trials that give you limited access (ranging from 1-5 hours) to PlayStation games if you are a subscriber. 

And the January 2023 lineup of PlayStation Plus Premium game trials looks very promising. As shared by a well-known PlayStation news channel @PlayStationSize, PlayStation Premium Plus, subscribers will have access to A Plague Tale: Requiem, The Last Of Us Part 1, and Gotham Knights for 2, 2, and 1 hours respectively.
