How to See Which PS Plus Games You’ve Already Claimed

If you’re an avid PlayStation user, you’ve probably claimed a bunch of free games through your PS Plus subscription over the years. But with so many titles added monthly and a growing Personal PSN library, it’s easy to lose track of which PS Plus games you actually own or have reclaimed. Luckily, Sony provides several straightforward ways to view your claimed PS Plus games on different devices and apps. In this guide, we’ll show you how to check your claimed PS Plus games by device, explore tools to filter free games, and explain how to view your full PSN game history.

Why Knowing Your Claimed PS Plus Games Matters

Knowing which PS Plus games you’ve already claimed is essential for several reasons. First, it helps you avoid missing out on games you’re entitled to download and play. PS Plus games often rotate monthly, and without checking, you may lose track and miss claiming some titles within the limited period. Second, sometimes you want to revisit a game you claimed months or years ago without manually searching your entire PSN library. Third, when managing storage on your console or planning which game to download next, it’s handy to have a clear list of your claimed games on hand.

This guide is useful for everyone with an active or inactive PS Plus subscription — whether you are gaming on PS5, PS4, using the PlayStation App on mobile, or browsing on desktop. By understanding how to check your claimed games, you can fully manage your PSN library and take advantage of Sony’s free game offerings.

How to Check Your Claimed PS Plus Games on Your PlayStation Console

On PS5

Checking your claimed PS Plus games on a PS5 is straightforward and integrates smoothly with the console’s revamped user interface.

1. Log into Your PS5 Account Turn on your PS5 and sign in with the PlayStation Network account linked to your PS Plus subscription.

2. Go to the Game Library From the home screen, scroll down to the Game Library icon (usually at the bottom right) and press ‘X’.

3. Filter by Purchased Content In the Game Library, switch to the Purchased tab on the left-hand menu, which lists all games tied to your account.

4. Filter Free Games To specifically find games you claimed through PS Plus—which are considered 'free with subscription' rather than outright purchased—you can filter by “Owned”. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, the PS5 UI doesn’t have a dedicated filter named “Free with PS Plus,” but all claimed PS Plus games will appear here along with purchased titles.

5. Check Your PlayStation Plus Collection (PS5 exclusive) If you have a PS5, also head to the PS Plus Collection (under the Game Library, or on the PS Plus tab of the home screen). These are games available to PS Plus Extra or Premium subscribers but require you to “claim” or download them to add to your library.

Tip: If you want to mark or separate claimed PS Plus games, you can create a custom folder named “PS Plus Games” and manually move them for easy future access.

On PS4

For PS4 players, the process is largely similar but with a slightly different interface.

1. Log into Your PSN Account Power on your PS4 and sign in.

2. Navigate to Library From the main menu, scroll down and select Library.

3. Select Purchased Content Choose Purchased on the left sidebar.

4. Identify PS Plus Games PS Plus titles do not have a unique icon here, so you may need to recall which games came from PS Plus or cross-reference with the monthly announcements. Alternatively, you can use the PlayStation Store method discussed later.

Using the PlayStation Store on Console

You can also revisit the PlayStation Store app on your PS4 or PS5 and check for previously claimed games:

• Open the PlayStation Store app.
• Go to your profile by selecting your avatar.
• Look for the Downloads List or Library.
• Here you'd see any games associated with your account, including those claimed through PS Plus.

How to Check Your Claimed PS Plus Games via the PlayStation App

The PlayStation App (available for iOS and Android) is a handy way to keep track of your PSN library and claimed PS Plus games on the go.

1. Open the PlayStation App and Log In Sign in with your PSN account details.

2. Go to Your Game Library Tap the profile icon at the bottom right, then select Library.

3. Filter and Browse Your Games Your entire PSN library appears here, including purchased and free with PS Plus titles.

4. Filter Free Games Unfortunately, the PlayStation App currently lacks a detailed filter solely for “free” or PS Plus claimed games. However, you can sort by Released, Installed, and Added to Library to help find newly added titles, many of which could be monthly PS Plus games.

5. Manage Downloads Remotely A great feature of the app is the ability to remotely download claimed PS Plus games to your console, so you can prepare your gaming session in advance.

How to View Your Full PSN Library and Game History on Desktop

If you prefer browsing your PSN library on a larger screen, using the official PlayStation website or third-party tools can be more convenient.

On the Official PlayStation Website

1. Visit store.playstation.com and log in.

2. Click your profile avatar, then select Subscriptions to check your active PS Plus subscription.

3. Navigate to Library under your account details.

The official website shows all games tied to your account, but like the app, it doesn’t separate claimed PS Plus games.

Using Third-Party Tools to Filter Free Games

To better filter and identify your claimed PS Plus games from your entire PSN library, third-party websites like PSNProfiles.com or PlayStationDB.net provide user-friendly interfaces:

• These sites connect to your account (via logging in with your credentials or manually inputting your ID).
• They categorize your games into purchased, free with subscription, or free offers.
• Some also include your trophy progress and playtime stats.

Note: Always exercise caution when using third-party services—ensure you use trusted sites with secure connections.

Expert Insight: Common Misconceptions About Claimed PS Plus Games

Many players assume that once a PS Plus game is claimed, it is added permanently to their account regardless of subscription status. While this is essentially true, there are nuances:

• You lose access to PS Plus free games if your subscription lapses and you don’t renew.
• Claimed games become permanently available only if you maintain an active subscription.
• Sometimes players miss claiming monthly free games within the designated time window; once the offer expires, those titles no longer appear as claimable.

Also, players often confuse Digital Game Purchases with PS Plus free claims in the PSN library. The easiest way to confirm PS Plus titles is by referencing Sony’s official monthly announcements or third-party tracking tools.

Alternatives to Track Your Claimed PS Plus Games

If you want an even more curated list of your claimed PS Plus games, you might consider:

• Manually maintaining a list: Few gamers prefer a spreadsheet or note app to keep track as they claim each free PS Plus game monthly.
• Using notification services: Subscribing to alerts or newsletters about monthly PS Plus freebies ensures you never miss claiming a game.
• Browser extensions: Some community-developed browser add-ons integrate with the PSN web store to track claimed games (verify authenticity before use).

Quick Summary: How to Check Your Claimed PS Plus Games

• Best for Console Users: Use the Game Library on PS5 or PS4, look under Purchased games.
• Best for Mobile: Use the PlayStation App Library to browse your game collection.
• Best for Desktop: Log in on the official PlayStation website or use trusted third-party services for a clearer breakdown.
• Filter Free Games: No direct official filter, but third-party tools and manual cross-referencing help.
