Do you need PlayStation Plus for Exoprimal?
Unfortunately, you will require a PlayStation Plus subscription in order to play Exoprimal. This is according to the game’s official page on the PlayStation Store. This means that gamers can't play the title offline, either, as Exoprimal must always be connected to servers.
While there are three tiers of PlayStation Plus, fortunately, you will only need the cheapest tier (PlayStation Plus Essential) to play the game online.
However, given that Exoprimal is an online-only experience, it's impossible to play Exoprimal without paying for PlayStation Plus.
As such, it's best to factor in the cost of PlayStation Plus when purchasing Exoprimal on PlayStation.

Just like on PlayStation, it's impossible to play Exoprimal offline on Xbox platforms. So, if you want to play the game at all, it's essential to own an Xbox Live subscription.
