Do I lose access to free monthly PS Plus games if I cancel?

Yes. Games claimed as free monthly PS Plus titles require an active subscription to play. If you cancel and later resubscribe, those games become playable again without repurchasing them.

Can I still play online multiplayer after cancelling?

No. PlayStation Plus is required for online multiplayer on PS4 and PS5 (with exceptions for free-to-play games). Online access ends when your subscription expires.

What is the difference between PS Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium?

Essential includes 2-3 free monthly games and online multiplayer. Extra adds a catalogue of 400+ PS4/PS5 games to download. Premium adds PS3 streaming, classic games, and game trials.
