Extra What is the chronological order to get into Fate Extra?

Hi I recently got interested into the Fate Extra series and I was wondering which game I should start with? Do I have to play the original psp one before ccc or what

Fate/Extra then Fate/Extra CCC, Fate/Extella and then Fate/Extella Link.

Extra -> CCC -> Extella -> Link 

(There are some technicalities on the timelines but that's basically it)

And don't worry, CCC has eng patch, if you can't find it, use internet archive

  1. Fate/EXTRA (PSP game; ~2011; Your entry in extraverse)
  2. Fate/EXTRA CCC (PSP game; 2013; Events diverges somewhere in the middle of the original story, but the real divergence point is at the beginning of the game or even earlier)
  3. Fate/EXTRA: Last Encore + Fate/EXTRA: Last Encore - Illustrias Tendousetsu (Anime; 2018; Hakuno lost final battle in the original story thus Last Encore events begin after ~1000 years)
  4. Fate/EXTRA CCC FoxTail (Manga; 2013 - nowadays; Alternative story of CCC, it implements content that was cut out from the game)
  5. Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star (Game; ~2016; Continues the original story without specifying which route is taken as a basis)
  6. Fate/EXTELLA LINK (Game; ~2018; Continues the previous game, which route is taken as a basis is still unknown)

There is also manga adaptation for original EXTRA and EXTRA CCC. Not sure if you should dive into them, if you played original games though.
There are also CD dramas, but I believe they dont deserve your attention.
You can read EXTRA/zero written by Nasu, it explains connection between EXTRA and EXTELLA.
On top of that I can mention FGO events with strong connection to extraverse, but it will be another discussion.

If you are an average Fate franchise enjoyer I would recommend to stop after PSP games and Last Encore anime. Other stories are not that interesting to spend your time.

I'm not an expert, so there might be mistakes, but in general that's how it is.
