Nothing for me this week and I honestly dont see the E3 announcement to be anything worth keeping my subscription for. I love having a EU PS+ but I havent gotten anything from the US in months, if it wasnt for IGN giving away months of free plus awhile back I would have expired already
You don’t have to install game to harddrive with ps plus if game is added to cart and you check out as long as you have plus you can download that game at any time
This is such a great update! Thank you psplus. I have so been wanting to get deus Ex. I’ve been putting in my cart then taking it out on amazon for a long time. This is great. Also Orcs attack sounds like silly fun to play with a friend on the vita! Thanks!
I’ve also heard so many good things about virtuas last reward. I don’t like point and click games but maybe I’ll give it one more shot. Being free and all. :)
im happy to see some games im actually interested in you guys have been picking up some pace i started losing interest in ps plus then you guys gave sleeping dogs and now deus ex and saints row 3 im excited i loved SR3 even though i didnt finish it and i use to love deus ex just never got around to buying the newest game cant wait to see what else you guys have in-store for us this month
Why do you guys complain about games leaving, if you were interested you probably already have it in your list, and it will be there as long as you have ps plus and then if you renew you have it again. I’m glad for it, but some of you (page 1) still complain about positive things. They are taking out some old games to bring in some fresh load of em for E3 , most likely.
I would like to see something implemented where if I bought a game within the last week on PSN and it comes out free for Plus, I get my money back. Star Wars Pinball cost me $10 then was free 5 days later
The only thing that I would be interested in getting is Zero’s Escape. But sadly I already own it so nothing for me this week. But, it is a very good game. Can’t wait for the sequel.
I’ve been seriously considering buying Zero Escape for the past week lol. Wow thank you Sony! And Dues Ex looked really cool but I never got around to it.
AMAZING! Seriously, I almost jump from my chair when I saw that we’re getting two AAA games this month. June is going to be THE month ! Really good update.
These are 3 games that I don’t own but I intended to play, specially Deus Ex, I’m very glad :D After reading some comment, I must say that I can’t wait ´til next week, to see what you’ve prepared for us PS+ members.
Didnt we just get Saints Row 3 free For PS+ like 3 months ago? I know i got it free with PS+, just dont remember when.
I know you will say they do that so people who may have missed it can get another chance but i think its a waste of a free game. about 90% of the time i dont want any of the free games but that is just me, im happy with getting the opportunity to download a free game that i have never played. If you keep recycling the same free games over and over just to make new customers happy you will be giving out Saints row 3 in another couple of months when you could have given a completely different game. If someone misses out on a game then thats their fault.
Wow looks amazing so far with Machinarium Cross-Buy , thx. Plus I see you are talking about additional content for +, this means at E3 we’ll see 3 new titles exclusives AAA from Sony Worldwide Studios for IGC ? Great, cant wait. ;)
Nice! Deus Ex looks amazing, almost bought it a couple times. Saints Row 3 is not really my type of game, but I’ll play it anyway, since it’s free and stuff. Looking forward to seeing what other surprises we have this month as well. Thanks for the great update!
Already bought Dues Ex, when it went on sale :(
Bought it at a great price , so I can not complain.
Look forward to trying Machinarium, Orc Attack since I am not going to buy it.
And never tried Saints Row, so maybe a good reason to resubscribe when my subscription runs out.
I thoroughly enjoyed Uncharted for Vita, and PS Allstars has helped fill the void.
You are definitely making a Playstation Plus pass a must have.
Keep up the good work.
Now if we can just lower the price of some of your digital downloads, especially for PSP,
make a console setting for joystick sensitivity (dead zone / vertical), and make PS Allstars Crossbuy from Vita.
@366 I don’t remember getting Saints Row the Third free any other month and I check the updates regularly. You probably have that mistaken with Saints Row 2 which was last year.
And just like when Sleeping Dogs was given to us for free, everyone should wait a week or two for Squeenix to put all the DLC on sale for Saint’s Row: The Third, as I’m pretty sure we’ll see it happen.
This month already looks amazing, as Deus Ex and Machinarium (PS3) are the only games on this list that I own. So if we get Mach on Vita, as well as all the other games… heck, just Orcs Attack makes up for a 1-year sub. With more to come, June is looking absolutely brilliant.
Really looking forward to Saints Row The Third and Virtue’s Last Reward. Plus with E3 right around the corner and PS4 announcements June is looking to be a great month.
I also found it funny that I just start playing 999 about a day ago just to find out that its sequel its going to be free. Funny how things just work out like that
Is Orc Attack coming to vita or something? I could have sworn it was a ps3 game, plus (pun intended) I don’t see it in the vita store.
On an unrelated note, I noticed Zero Escape has avatars you can buy. I’m throwing in another request to be able to change to premium avatars directly from our vita (or using a PC). Thanks
Thanks for the response you are indeed correct, i just checked and it was part TWO for free. Now im a boob for posting before checking. Its good to know there are other non admins like me who actually read posts before posting.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m so happy Virture’s Last Reward is coming to PLUS! Way excited to play it at the end of June!
I already owned Deus Ex: HR (though I traded it so this will be an op to play more). I’m not so good at those games though.
Also way excited about Saint’s Row the third and all the rest. Never heard of the orc one before so I’ll give it a try too.
E3 is just around the corner, so excited!
Everybunny be happy!
Zero Escape!!! I have been looking at this game for the last month, waiting to buy it! Also, Deus Ex, Saints Row 3, and Orc Attack? Honestly, I would have been happy enough with just one game.~ I’m also going to grab Portal 2. It’ll be my third time buying that game, but now I can play coop with my PC, too. Thanks, guys!
God dammit. This has got to be the 5th time that all the free Vita games is one I already own. Buy Disgaea 3? It gets announced for PS+ the next week. Buy Blazblue? Same thing happens the week after. Buy VLR? God freaking dammit. There are dozens of great Vita games I don’t own, and they NEVER get chosen. I don’t think I’ve purchased a single Vita game so far that wasn’t released on PS+ a few weeks later. This PS+ deal has been the worst $50 I’ve spent in recent memory.
Im placing a bet that one of the other games they didn’t mention is Uncharted 3 -_-…I don’t think that will convince so many people to join Ps Plus…One of the games should be Assassin’s Creed 3 or something….You need to add big games this time around I mean this is suppose to be an E3 update right??? So why not drop big games if you trying to get people to join…Something like DmC or Transformers fall of cybertron or Xcom Enemy Unknown or even Tales of Graces f..something that makes thousands go WOW and make them hop aboard the Ps Plus train and forget Xbox even exist….step it up :)
Awesome update. Was almost ready to buy both Saints Row 3 and Dues Ex while I was at the store today, glad I didn’t, and the Vita games are welcome. But I suspect there is more to come for the month, there are seven games being dropped including the old standbys inFamous 2 and LittleBigPlanet 2 so unless Sony is trying to shrink the IGC unnoticed (that’ll never go unnoticed) I suspect there are still two more games to reveal, and at least one will be a biggie is my guess.
Another underwhelming month for me. Not to say June is bad. Just not good for me personally…
Already beat the hell out of Deus Ex and I hate Saints Row. Oh, well. I’ll get Virtue’s Last Reward in my download history since it’s one of the games I want when I eventually get a Vita.
well, it’s a bit disappointing, Zero Escape is OK for the PS VITA, but i was expecting like Metal Gear HD Collections, like in Europe they got it and it’s awesome but Us over here can’t that’s kinda sad
@Yunno-Misaki yeah same here, I’ve been hoping for a rhythm game as well. Personally I’d like to see the vita DJ MAX game come to IGC (or at least get a discount). I’ve been waiting for that game to go on sale since January, so if it doesn’t get a surprise discount/price drop with tomorrow’s update, I’ll just buy it.
I am just looking for confirmation that, even though these titles are being removed from the IGC, active subscribers will maintain access to them, until our subscription lapses. Is that correct? Thx.
You’ll need to actually “purchase” them at the $0 price point. You don’t have to download them, though. But they need to be on your purchased list. Make sense?
I just re-upped for another year and I’m a little disappointed because I already own two of the three free games for PS3 this month.
That said they’re great games but I noticed a bug in Deus Ex Human Revolution (after getting my second broken console back from Sony a couple weeks ago and wanting to play something while re-downloading 450+GB of games and add-ons) where the game freezes the system at the start menu when you press start if you are logged into PSN at the time. Please say you’ve fixed this!
Also, I would like to input a suggestion to allow PS+ users to purchase a game that has already been given to them for free through the service since that is not permanent (say if I hadn’t resubscribed) and sometimes I want the peace of mind knowing that a game is actually mine, not a loaner. I suppose I could wait until a year from now then buy everything I like but then I miss out when a previously free game goes on sale for newer Plus users.
Yes, you get to keep them as long as you are a Plus subscriber. Even if you let your subscription lapse, they will ALL come back once you re-subscribe. Can’t beat it, right?
My favorite part of Human Revolution is skulking around in the vents and getting “traveler” bonuses. Great update overall for the month, though I’m slightly concerned about the fishing game. Has anyone played this? Is it fun? Is there a demo?
Nothing for me this week and I honestly dont see the E3 announcement to be anything worth keeping my subscription for. I love having a EU PS+ but I havent gotten anything from the US in months, if it wasnt for IGN giving away months of free plus awhile back I would have expired already

It is diffidently time to get plus! VLR is such a great game, and I would love to replay it without that pesky save bug ;)

@349 i hipe the PS+ Gods reads and give us it.
@350 I agree. Or at least be on sale a a discount for us ps+ members
I would like to see something implemented where if I bought a game within the last week on PSN and it comes out free for Plus, I get my money back. Star Wars Pinball cost me $10 then was free 5 days later
Thanks u Sony, developers e publishers for such great support.
will the dlc for the free plus games be on sale???
Decent update. I have been wanting Virtues Alastair Reward for a short time now. I’ve had Deus Ex for ages on Xbox and Machinarium on PC.
The only thing that I would be interested in getting is Zero’s Escape. But sadly I already own it so nothing for me this week. But, it is a very good game. Can’t wait for the sequel.

@redhood560
Is diffidently a new word?? Lol. Sorry, but that made me actually LOL!
Didnt we just get Saints Row 3 free For PS+ like 3 months ago? I know i got it free with PS+, just dont remember when.

Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward is FREE THIS MONTH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!
SONY OF AMERICA, THANK YOU FOR FINALLY LEARNING HOW TO CHOOSE GAMES FOR PLUS! GOOD JOB GUYS!!!

Two thumbs way up!
Again, no good games for VITA…I am starting to get disappointed about this portable… :(
@ thebgj
No, we got SR2 quite a while back. I’ve never seen a game offered in the IGC come back after leaving….not yet anyway.
Really looking forward to Saints Row The Third and Virtue’s Last Reward. Plus with E3 right around the corner and PS4 announcements June is looking to be a great month.
I also found it funny that I just start playing 999 about a day ago just to find out that its sequel its going to be free. Funny how things just work out like that

Yep, it is. :) Your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you. It’s just not out yet.
