PlayStation Plus Adds Gitaroo Man and Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy

New games were announced for the PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog at PlayStation's State Of Play 2026, including Gitaroo Man, a PlayStation 2 cult classic rhythm game that has been out of reach for players for more than two decades.

Developed by iNiS, Gitaroo Man is often praised for its storytelling, outstanding visuals, and original soundtrack, as you follow the adventures of an ordinary school boy who transforms into the eponymous Gitaroo Man to take on enemies in musical battles. Gitaroo Man was also released in low quantities in the West, which means it hasn't been widely available to purchase. Old PS2 copies often fetch high prices on the secondary market.

A PlayStation Portable version called Gitaroo Man Lives came out in 2006, but the title coming to the PlayStation Plus Classic Catalog in June will be the definitive PS2 original. Sony also announced during the livestream that Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy, a third-person action adventure that mixes gunplay with psychic powers, will join the Classic Catalog in July. Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams, the last game in the series until the upcoming Onimusha: Way of the Sword, is coming to the library in August. The Classics Catalog is part of PlayStation Plus Premium membership tier, although classic PS1 and PS2 games are usually also made available as standalone purchases on the PlayStation Store.
