Sony announced the PlayStation Plus Premium Game Catalog lineup, and it includes Wild Arms 4 for the PS4 and PS5. This will mean the PS2 game will be playable on both if someone subscribes to the $17.99 per month plan starting on April 21, 2026. The official PixelArena.io announcement only mentions its inclusion in the subscription plan and doesn’t mention how much it will be sold for piecemeal on the PlayStation Store.
In Wild Arms 4, Jude’s hometown is assaulted by strange enemies who break into the area. When investigating these Congressional Knights, he notices they’ve captured a girl named Yulie and mistreating one of their allies named Arnaud. As a result of rebelling in an effort to free Yulie and save his family and neighbors, the whole area they’re in crashes to the surface of a planet called Filgaia, and the new trio heads out to find out what’s going on and fight back. Sony did note this will feature quick save and rewind features and upscaling. However, it didn’t mention if the known crashing and freezing issues in the PS2 release are patched in this version.
This means four games in the Wild Arms JRPG series will be playable on current consoles both via PlayStation Plus Premium and piecemeal purchases. The first three games already appeared there. However, Wild Arms 3 is shown as a $14.99 title that’s only available on the PS4. The listings for the first and second games show them as being compatible on the PS4 and PS5. Both of those are $9.99 each if purchased individually via the PlayStation Store.
Wild Arms 4 will join the PlayStation Plus Premium Game Catalog collection for PS4 and PS5 players on April 21, 2026, and we should also see it launch on the PlayStation Store as a standalone purchase at that time. The original game appeared on the PS2.
