But if they ever leave the library, you'd have to buy them outright to keep playing.
These aren't free games that you "claim" and then keep forever.
They're tied to the PS Plus library, so you can only play them for as long as you have a membership – and while they remain in the catalogue.
Once they exit the library, you'll lose access to the games unless you pay for them.

Brits warned over summer party gadget that can fry your phone and BREAK your camera – it can even damage your eyesight
PARTYGOERS have been warned over a popular dancefloor gadget that could 'ruin' their smartphone cameras this summer. Laser lights are a common feature at weddings, concerts and festivals. 5 Pictures can go permanently grainy and adopt colourful hues after sensor damage Credit: Reddit / u_JohnnieWalker- 5 The Reddit poster, u_JohnnieWalker-, says they own an iPhone 14 Pro, and shared images of what their camera looked like after the laser shined on it Credit: Reddit / u_JohnnieWalker- 5 Party lasers can fry camera sensors in smartphones because they are intense beams of light that can heat up the sensor Credit: Reddit / u_JohnnieWalker- But poor management of them can break your pricey smartphone. "I was at a party last night and the DJ had a laser light of some kind, whilst filming a friend... I noticed the image went all grainy and [a] pinkish/purplish colour," one Reddit user "I immediately stopped recording and quit/restarted the camera app, hoping it was a glitch but the image was still the same. "I then tried restarting my phone and also tried another camera app but the camera seems to have been ruined." READ MORE TECH TIPS The Reddit poster, u_JohnnieWalker-, says they own an iPhone 14 Pro, and shared images of what their camera looked like after the laser shined on it. Everything through the lens is fuzzy and awash with colourful hues. It might seem artsy and fun, if the issue wasn't permanent. Party lasers can fry camera sensors in smartphones because they are intense beams of light that can heat up the sensor. Most read in Phones & Gadgets While it is uncommon, this can happen. They don't just damage smartphone camera sensors either, but traditional photography cameras too. Apple interview with Greg Joz Joswiak on new artificial intelligence, screening, hold assist, carplay, liquid glass and ios updates Sony urges customers to not directly expose their cameras to laser beams. "They may damage the image sensor and cause the camera to malfunction," the camera maker writes in a "If you're in an environment with a laser display, whether indoor or outdoor, with direct or indirect exposure (bouncing laser beams of a reflective object), the damage to the camera CMOS sensor is still severe. "This damage can also occur if your camera is off but not covered by the lens cap." Party lasers are not typically pointed into crowds, or at eye level, out of precaution. While the concentrated beams of light can damage cameras, they can also cause permanent eye damage when exposed for a long period. 5 Party lasers are not typically pointed into crowds, or at eye level, out of precaution Credit: Getty LiDAR sensors found in newer cars can also cause the same invisible, but permanent damage. These sensors, which can detect objects and estimate distances , are used in automated driving and some safety features.

In both instances, the colourful specks and hue the camera adopts after laser damage will be there forever - unless you take your device to the repair shop. LiDAR sensors work by shooting a constant stream of infrared lasers out into the world, which a computer uses to 3D reconstruct the car's surroundings, including any nearby objects. While humans can't see these laser beams, camera sensors are very sensitive to them. 5 The LiDAR sensor on a Volvo EX90 is the black raised bar above the windscreen Credit: Volvo iPhone tricks to try today Here are some of the best...

Hit Fantasy game played by 40 million people warned it will close down in DAYS on some consoles
A FANTASY massively multiplayer online role-playing game is set to wind down on two consoles next week. At its peak, the title reached some 40million players. 2 The update is scheduled for 26 June, and is touted to be the biggest update yet for Black Desert Online Credit: SUPPLIED 2 Players can transfer their data across to a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S Credit: SUPPLIED But it's the end of the road for anyone still playing on a PS4 or Xbox One. From June 26, Black Desert Online will be exclusive to Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. Other game studios are gradually doing the same, as they put all their energy into the latest devices and shift away from the old. A couple of days ago, online shooter Read more about game closures In Black Desert Online's case, developers apparently made the decision due to hardware limitations that make it difficult to introduce new content smoothly. "We understand that this news may be disappointing for our longtime Adventurers on these platforms," makers Pearl Abyss said. "Please know that this decision was made after careful consideration, with the goal of ensuring the future growth and evolution of Black Desert Console. "We remain fully committed to delivering you the best possible adventures in Black Desert." Most read in Gaming So, if you don't currently own a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S you'll have to dig deep and buy a brand new console if you want to keep playing the game. However, for those who do own one, the upgraded game will be available at no extra cost. OTHER GAME CLOSURES COMING UP Here's what to watch out for...

Even your purchased items and Pearls will be switched across, so all is not lost. WHY DO GAMES NEED TO CLOSE DOWN? By Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Editor at The Sun With most games online these days, tech companies need to maintain quite hefty servers to manage everything. It's no cheap business to operate with millions of gamers across the world. Naturally, people move on, leaving older games behind in the process. There comes a point where it's no longer viable to continue offering server access so studios shut them down. For some games that are entirely online this can render it completely useless. But others may have a way for you to continue playing solo still. You should usually see a prominent notification in the game warning you with instructions on what to do - provided you're still playing the game of course.
