Is PS Plus Extra worth it over Essential?

Essential is coming up for renewal and the upgrade price doesn't look too bad. I mostly play single player stuff and buy maybe four games a year. Does the Extra catalogue have enough good games to justify it, or do people just sub for a few months and cancel?

You don't have to decide up front either. If you upgrade partway through an Essential sub, you pay the difference for the time left rather than starting a new one. So you can stay on Essential and only bump up when something you want lands in the catalogue.

with four games a year and mostly single player, extra can be worth it, but only if the catalogue has things you haven't played. scroll the list before upgrading. most people i know sub for a month or two, binge, then drop back to essential. games do leave the catalogue though, so don't count on taking your time with something.
