After giving away Ratchet & Clank for PlayStation 4, PlayStation is continuing on with their Play at Home initiative, adding not only one, but ten more free games to their giveaway event. Beginning on March 25th, a handful of indie games will be free on the PlayStation Store, including the likes of the following:

• Abzu
• Enter the Gungeon
• Rez Infinite
• Subnautica
• The Witness

In addition to that, a few PlayStation VR games will also be given away:

• Astro Bot Rescue Mission
• Moss
• Thumper
• Paper Beast

All of the aforementioned PS4 and PSVR games will be free to keep forever, so long as you claim them between March 25th at 8pm PT through April 22nd at 8pm PT.

The second announcement was that certain regions will be getting a free extended trial of Funimation's anime streaming service, which will last the same amount of time as the other giveaway--from March 25-April 22. If you redeem it during that timeframe, you'll get a free three month membership to the service, assuming that you're a new user.

Last, but not least, is the major reveal by PlayStation that they'll be giving away one more game in April. Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition is free to claim and download to your PS4 and PS5 consoles starting April 19th. You'll have until May 14th to grab it before the offer ends.

It's worth saying that in an update, they added some really nice configurable difficulty options, so if you do get in that situation again, you can just temporarily (or permanently if you just want to have fun with the story) change the difficulty to your liking.

Difficultly doesn't change field skills or affinity levels for Blades

Like Ancient Knowledge, having to collect old parts from salvaging in towns to increase said level, etc. Not worth it and a stupid game mechanic.

I don't see HZD on that list, hope its true. Also now I have an excuse to get Abzu, Subnautica, and the Witness. Man that backlog just keeps getting filled.

Nevermind, my ass just needs to read

Time to make a PlayStation account, I guess

Persona 5 is already part of PlayStation Plus Collection, so technically they're already giving it away to subscribers. That, and Horizon is a baller game by any metric.

What is playstation plus collection? I've never seen Persona 5 for free, I have it on PS3 but haven't played it but if i can get it on PS4 that'd be great

Unfortunately, you can't redeem the PS Plus Collection unless you own a PS5, so if you don't have one then you can't get Persona 5.

Welp, PS3 it is then

woo free games.

"please accept this apology for losing Bethesda to Microsoft" ;p

And sad that they delay or maybe cancel the Bethesda 60fps patches for PS5

Assassins creed origins lol

But its funny, people complaining about free games not what theyre after, end of the day, free is free, just bloody enjoy it, at least theyve given you something for free and not on a timed free period.

One game lost is one game lost, free or not don't matter you have one game less. Especially those ex AAA titles like HZD. Like you said I rather they give Assassins creed origins as I don't have that one

This certainly show Sony are feeling the heat and are worried. This is a vital time for attracting users to their next gen platform, most who will remain subscribed for the remainder of the generation.

They need to try and take the shine off of Microsoft recent successes, bude some time until they can ship PS5 systems, they seem to have been hit worse than Microsoft.

Microsoft's strategy seems to have paid off, whether this was partially or wholly due to luck is hard to say.

Looks like Sony have catch on to what Epic has been doing (give away free games) so you have a large library of games and would think twice about leaving the platform

You need to logon on a PS5 to claim it. Find a friend who has a PS5

 

[pickinanameainteasy]

I have a friend who has a PS5, so if I log into my account on his system I can access all the PS Plus Collection games?

That does work, yes. Once logged in on the PS5, you'll need to go and "claim" the games on the store and then they'll be linked to your account. Keep in mind, like the monthly "free" PS+ games, you have to keep your PS+ subscription active in order to keep using them.


There have actually been bans for this, but they AFAIK only ban people who go and "sell" a service to login. Just make sure your friend doesn't go around "helping" a bunch of other people to claim the games, so long as it's only a couple people it should be "safe".

Personally, I get my rocks off from the dismantling of the patriarchy; but different strokes for different folks.

I don't know what any of that means.

All I can say is that I have a PS5 and my PS4 can access it. How would Sony know you don't own that PS5?
I have multiple PS accounts and this one isn't the first I use with that PS5.

They appear to have kicked off this times 'play at home' with, not previously mentioned as part of the promotion, Ratchet and Clank... although it's currently not allowing me to add it to my library.

The Ratchet and Clank giveaway was already announced last month.

Yeah, I must be losing my mind - I even commented in that thread!

 

[wartutor]

Am I the only one that can't find any mention of these "free" games. You figure they would put it where it is easy to find wtf.
