But the benefits of PS Plusthey do not end there: it is possible to play a title while downloading it, use advanced sharing features, obtain special discounts and exclusive access to demos and beta games but, above all, enjoy two games per month for free (which will remain playable for the entire duration of the PS Plus subscription). The subscription, with all its advantages, can be used on PS4 , PS3 and PS Vita consoles .
