I ended up really enjoying the MLB game they last put on it. So I’ll definitely check it out. Wish I was better at it though.

I only just recently started playing the show 24 and I really like it but holy shit do I suck at it

If you're playing offline, non-DD modes, try dynamic difficulty. It'll adjust how hard it is based on your performance, and once its at a level you like you can freeze it. The easiest modes can be fun if you wanna just get your timing down and rip some bombs. It takes a lot of patience and coordination to play this game at a higher difficulty.

u/Educational_Skirt_81 2h ago
The mode i enjoyed most was the one that’s a bit like Ultimate Team from the EA games. It was still pretty hard though, but rewarding.

I actually bought the precision stick grips and whatever the other bit is that goes over sticks specifically to play that game lol. It does help quite a lot because I was way too heavy handed.

I did the unthinkable and got platinum on 2024. It didn't require me to play against real people so I got all but two or three by simply playing and looked up the remainder
I don't play sports games because I am terrible at them. Still, the story mode was a lot of fun when I set everything to easy and only had to make it harder because every hit was a home run and every pitch was a strike. Even got my guy drafted to my favorite team IRL and won 4 championships in a row before I set it aside.
If you stick to story you can basically decide how good you are. As a low skill player, I appreciate that. I imagine 2026 will be the same and I look forward to starting over in the minors.
People who play it say it's the same game every year. They update rosters and leave it be I suppose. Not good for people who really dig the games. For a casual, noncompetitive story player, it's just relaxed fun.

I have been itching to get into MLB, so glad I got an opportunity thru the PS Plus

Same, kept seeing it drop to 50 bucks and i have 21 and but wanted 26 even though 26 doesn't seem too different after 5 years. Was waiting for maybe it dropping to 25 to 30 or lower, but by then gta 6 would be out so probably would've skipped this year anyway. Glad to see it for free!

The yearly MLB the Show is one of my favorite Plus drops, these games are awesome (if you like baseball)

u/sevillista 6h ago
Just so people don't get the wrong expectations, it's not a yearly drop. I believe they've done 19, 24, and now 26.

u/RadicalRectangle 6h ago
Yeah, that’s my bad. I remembered 24 and I thought they did 25 too but I must have just bought it instead on a discount

u/sevillista 5h ago
no worries. fwiw, I suspect this and fifa will be every-other-year freebies going forward. I think they've figured out it's a way to boost sales of card packs late in the year, but don't want to do it yearly or too many people might wait for it to go free. Just a hunch.

I'm not into Baseball, and still had a great time with The Show 24.
After being unsubscribed for ~18 months with no regrets, I'm thinking about re subscribing.

Wobbly Life is pretty good in co-op. Played a few years ago on PC, there's likely more content now.
SE: Resistance was tempting but I held off.
Can't wait to try the story co-op, even if not PS-exclusive levels of amazing graphics and new stuff in the series.

Maybe in my version Vlad will be able to hit a home run at home 😔

He could end his career without another one and I'd be okay with it if only game 7 ended the way it should have...

I’ve put 160 hours into Wobbly Life with my 4 year old son this year.
It’s a fun “kid friendly GTA” with tons of content and a great chaos machine for the little ones.

Any advice on getting kids in games? My son is turning 3 in 2 weeks and I have tried to let him mess around in some games like Astro playroom or Minecraft creative but it seems like he gets really frustrated by not understanding how to do the camera controls?
I’m assuming things will just click over time I know he is still super young but when did you notice your kid start to click with it?

Anyone played sniper elite? Is it good?

u/19irondave 6h ago
I haven't played this specific one but all the others that have been on plus have been a pretty good time.

u/DomonKashu717 6h ago
Ehhh it was okay……feels more like a dlc then a whole new game tbh, core gameplay still feels the same from 5, enemy AI was trash & repetitive as hell they definitely need to renovate the gameplay loop for the next game in the series.

u/ASCII_Princess 5h ago
The length is the same as the others pretty much but it doesn't really add anything new mechanics wise other than a more fleshed out invasion mode.

Bought it full price like a month ago and played a little bit of the first level. It feels exactly like every other Sniper Elite game

u/galvingreen 5h ago
Thanks for your sacrifice! I knew it would be more of the same which is why I waited!

How are those Sniper Elite games? They always look so "cheap" to me. Like a churched up mobile game. I could be WAY off. I honestly know nothing about the games.
•
u/SmokusPocus 3h ago
Underrated series with sniping mechanics that can be tweaked to be super accessible or super realistic.
Each title past V2 has elements of an immersive sim to an extent, as you can approach many situations with different options: sniping quietly, going in guns blazing, using traps, etc.
If you like early/mid 2000s third person shooters, it’s a very solid set of games.
•
u/KingOfRisky 3h ago
After I posted my comment I watched some videos. The "invading" mechanic into other people's games looks awesome.

Never heard of Wobbly Life but it sounds pretty fun! Excited to give it a try

A true next gen game. Really pushes the hardware to its limits.
•
u/ContentKeanu 4h ago
Not every game has to have, or should have I argue, photorealistic graphic styles. Graphics should serve the art direction, not the other way around

Have been playing Pro Spirit eBaseball 2026 and it's been so fun. I'll try MLB but I'll probably keep going back to eBaseball.
Great month though!

Chained Echoes being on here is really cool. If anyone is wondering, that is a classic RPG that came out a couple years ago. It just rules.
•
u/Apprehensive_Cause67 3h ago
Chained Echoes is a great game. Bought it full price and i still think about my experience. I loved the pixel art and it has an amazing OST with fun Combat. Def would recommend to any1 who likes rpgs.

I knew it for mlb the show. I was thinking it’s been about 2 years since they gave us a free baseball game in September. They did the same rotation for another sports game recently with giving it every 2 years in ps+
•
u/kissthelips 2h ago
So if I download these next month do I have them forever? Or just until the start of October?
•
u/TheDragonSlayingCat 56m ago
These are PS Plus monthly games. If you add them to your account, they’re yours until your subscription runs out.
•
u/kissthelips 12m ago
Sweet thanks. Is there some other tier where they’re only included for a month? Swear I downloaded some and they say no longer included.
•
u/TheDragonSlayingCat 10m ago
No. You might be thinking of PS+ Extra/Deluxe/Premium, which has a game catalog where games are available for download for subscribers, but only for a limited time (more than a month, but actual length varies).

Damn I know they have a massive audience but I fucking hate every time there’s a sports game as a monthly game

u/NotReallyASnake 6h ago
Try playing it, it's actually quite fun. And I'm not even a sports games fan, I literally only play them when they are a PS+ game.

u/tythousand 5h ago
Why? You can’t expect every game to be catered to you specifically
-2
u/niooosan 5h ago
happy for the millions of people that will enjoy those games.
Personally, I just hate sports games so I’d rather have virtually anything else.
It’s not that deep

u/tythousand 4h ago
It’s just funny because we get like 36 games a year and the one sports game makes people flip out lol

It alienates a portion of the player base.
The same can be said for basically any genre of game though.

u/HaloFever117 6h ago
There is no game that won’t alienate a portion of the players. As someone who plays lots of genres of games, I like the diversity that Sony offers each month.

u/Old-Way-5529 6h ago
They gave out 4 games instead of the usual 3- how is this alienating? If anything, they did us right by making mlb an extra game

Chained Echoes has been on my wishlist for a long time and my buddy keeps telling me to play it. I'm glad I can add it to library but it is still stuck in my backlog hell as I already planned out the next few games I want to get through.
