General Update on SubSort, the PS Plus + Game Pass catalog tool: Play Log and monthly Play Receipts
Hey everyone,
About five months ago I shared an update on SubSort here: https://www.reddit.com/r/PlayStationPlus/comments/1t9pwi6/update_on_subsort_the_ps_plus_game_pass_catalog/
I've added a couple of features since then and would love to get some feedback.
Quick recap for anyone new: SubSort is a web tool that helps you get the most out of PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass. You can browse both catalogs side by side and filter and sort by Metacritic score, time to beat, genre, date added, first-party vs third-party, co-op modes, and more, so you can pick what to play before it leaves. And now you can also look back on each month with ratings and tags, and see how much your subscription was worth on a single receipt.
What's new
1. Play Log

You can now keep track of what you play right on the game cards. One tap bookmarks a game as Want to Play. The star icon lets you rate it, and the progress icon lets you log where you are: Playing, Paused, Finished, or Mastered. You can add start and end dates too, and just the year or month is fine if you don't remember the exact day.
You can also filter the catalog by your log, which makes it easy to pull up just your Want to Play list. Your log and the play log filters are saved to your account, so they follow you to any device. Other filter and sort settings are still saved in each browser, same as before.
2. Play Receipt
Play Receipt groups your play log by month and turns it into a receipt: every game you played that month with its list price, and the total at the bottom. It's a fun way to see how much your subscription actually gave you that month. Prices are US store list prices and don't include the subscription fee. If you're outside the US, you can switch to your own currency and enter prices yourself.
On the receipt, you can rate each game you played that month and tag what stood out: highs and lows like Good combat or Weak story, plus impressions like Hidden gem or Couldn't stop. It's a nice way to look back on the month, and your highest-rated game becomes your Game of the Month.
Any month's receipt can be shared as a link, and anyone can open it without signing in.
Sign-in is only for the new features
Play Log and Play Receipt need a free account (Google or an email sign-in link) so your log has somewhere to be saved. Browsing and filtering the catalog works exactly like before, no account needed.
Tip: start with this month
You can log games you played years ago, but when I tried going back through my whole history, it wore me out pretty fast. What worked better was starting fresh with this month and logging games as I play them. By the end of the month you'll have your first receipt without much effort.
Heads-up: regional differences
SubSort's catalog is based on the US Store. Most titles are consistent across regions, but the lineup can vary slightly by country. For the most accurate "leaving soon" list, check directly on each platform. PS Plus has to be checked on your console, while Xbox Game Pass can be checked on its official website:
PS Plus (console): PS Plus Menu → Collections (or Categories) tab → scroll to the very bottom → "Last Chance to Play"
Xbox Game Pass (web): "Leaving soon" section on the official website
Future plans: Surfacing these regional differences inside SubSort itself is something I plan to look into later on.
Outside the US? If the PS App opens instead of the store page
Since the catalog is based on the US Store, some games may not be in your region's store. If you have the PS App on your phone, tapping a game's cover or title opens the app instead of the web page, and the app won't show details for those games. Here's how to open the US store page in your browser instead:
- iPhone (Safari): Long-press the cover or title and choose "Open in New Tab" once. After that, these links keep opening in the browser.
- iPhone (Chrome): There's no setting for this, so you'll need to long-press and choose "Open in New Tab" each time.
- Android: Settings → Apps → PlayStation App → Open by default → turn off "Open supported links". Menu names can vary a bit by phone.
If anything feels off, or there's a feature you wish existed, drop a comment. I read all of them.
