I’m building a tool to track past PS Plus monthly games and show which ones are already in your PlayStation library. Has anyone run into this issue of finding your claimed games too?
I’m a software engineer, but also just a long-time PlayStation user trying to solve a problem I ran into myself.
My first console was a PS2, I skipped the PS3 era, and I’ve been on and off PS Plus since around 2017. I also mostly buy digital, so over time my account has turned into a pretty messy mix of bought games, claimed games, and stuff I barely remember adding.
After the latest PS Plus price increase, I started wondering if it made more sense to drop from Extra back down to Essential. But when I actually tried to think that through, I realized I couldn’t easily answer a basic question:
Which games in my account are actually PS Plus Essential games?
That’s what pushed me to start building a small web app that:
- tracks PS Plus Essential monthly game history ( I know https://playstation.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_Plus_monthly_games_(North_America) exists, but it only works for NA, not my region - India)
- matches that against your PSN library
- helps you see what you already own or claimed
Currently it looks something like this -
The main idea is to make it easier to answer stuff like:
- which Essential games did I already claim?
- what was included in a given month?
- if I downgrade, what in my library is really tied to Essential vs something else?
It’s still an early build, so I’m not trying to promote it as some finished product. I mainly want to know if this is a real pain point for other people too.
Would something like this actually be useful to you?
If yes, what would matter most?
If no, what would make it not worth using?
