You Can Now Buy PS Plus Premium Classics Tekken 2, Ridge Racer Type 4, More | Push Square

In case you weren't aware, the majority of retro games on PS Plus Premium are available for individual purchase. This means that, if you buy them, you won't need to remain a Premium member in order to play them. Playing them at no extra cost is great of course, but if you want the extra security, it's nice that most games offer the option to buy them. Unfortunately, there are a few outliers, but a bunch of them have recently made the switch, and can now be bought.
Spotted by eagle-eyed PS Plus members, Bandai Namco's range of PS Plus Premium classics are now up for standalone purchase. This includes many of the lineup's best — here are the newly buyable retro titles:
They cost £7.99 / $9.99 apiece, which isn't bad to ensure you maintain access once your subscription's up or they leave the service, for some reason. The only downer is that these titles don't yet feature Trophies, but never say never.
Are you pleased to see these games available for purchase? Will you be buying any of them? Discuss in the comments section below.
Having grown up alongside PlayStation, Stephen has developed an eclectic taste in video games and a wide knowledge of the medium, from small indie gems to the biggest AAA blockbusters. Ever hopeful that the Burnout series makes a miraculous return.
Great change
Yeah, all of them should be available for purchase. It's a win win for those who are subscribed and those who prefer to own their titles like myself
Prob buy RR2 as Ridge Type 4 looks absolutely horrendous on the big screen.
I've enjoyed replaying the Ridge Racer games as part of the subscription but if I'm honest they were pretty much a one and done as a blast of nostalgia.
I don't feel the need to have them in a permanent collection.
Finally! Pretty amped about this.
I wondered why this is myself. I noticed that any PS Plus Classic that is a Sony game can be purchased but 3rd party games can't be? Great news. It's a shame Resident Evil Director's Cut can't be purchased too.
Now if only Sony could not only manage the same with Capcom too,but get far more of the likes of Capcom,Namco & other Third Party publishers classic catalogues available. At present mostly seems to be PSP titles,with a trickle of PS1 & zero ps2 additions!
It’s probably worth mentioning that if you already bought these games in the past on PSP or PS3 then they’re available to re-download for free as your licences carry over.
Going to buy ridge racer 4. Loved that game on psone.
Ridge Racer 2 PSP is definitely worth it if you do t want to pay for Premium. I actually prefer to R4.
Does Ridge Racer work with a racing wheel?
Already owned Tekken 2 from the PS3 so it was free for me.
Always found it ironic that some players are terrified about a time when
