PlayStation has recently revealed some of the Classic [PS1, PS2, PS3] games coming to its updated PS+ subscription service.
The upcoming new service – which will compile current PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now services – is set to launch in June.
One of the upcoming perks of the new service is that classic games from PlayStation’s past will be added.
However, until now, we haven’t really known any of those classic games that were coming to the service.

Additionally, PlayStation notes the following on the PS3 titles;
*The new PlayStation Plus will offer PS3 games to stream and play on PS4, PS5 and PC. These are original, non-remastered versions of PS3 games. They are available to PlayStation Plus Premium members where cloud streaming is available.
And, finally, the above list of games is only the games that will be available at launch. PlayStation has stated that it will add new titles on a monthly basis.
