In the latest twist for PlayStation Plus subscribers, Sony has introduced an exclusive free title for PlayStation Plus Extra users, stirring a mix of excitement and disappointment among the gaming community. This special addition, however, comes with a significant limitation—it’s only available in Japan.
The game in question, Oreshika, is a revered classic RPG that first captivated players in the 1990s. Known for its unique art style and engaging gameplay, Oreshika achieved cult status, cherished by a loyal fan base. Its return was anticipated with trophies appearing online, sparking widespread enthusiasm that was quickly tempered by the regional restriction.
While Oreshika was re-released on the PSP, it has not been ported to newer platforms, making this PS Plus offering the only modern avenue for experiencing the game. This exclusivity has left international fans feeling left out, as expressed by one disappointed gamer: “Damn, this is one RPG I would love to check out! Maybe one day!”
Sony’s decision to limit the release to Japan has been met with calls from fans globally, hoping for an international release. Until then, players outside Japan can only look on enviously or consider alternatives available through PlayStation Plus. Although the service has provided a plethora of gaming options, the exclusivity of Oreshika underscores the varied experiences of PlayStation Plus subscribers across different regions.
For those not subscribed to PlayStation Plus, there are still numerous games available that do not require a membership, ensuring all gamers have access to quality entertainment. Meanwhile, the lucky few in Japan who can access Oreshika are encouraged to savor this rare opportunity to dive back into a beloved classic. As for the rest, they remain hopeful that Sony might eventually extend these exclusive offerings to a broader audience.
