This week, we’re building the Instant Game Collection with the 2D action of Metal Slug: XX! You can download this arcade classic free as a PS Plus member starting with tomorrow’s PlayStation Store update.
This is also the first week release of PlayStation Store’s PLAY, as the first of the 4 diverse games hitting this week with Stealth Inc: A Clone in the Dark. Today is the last day you can preorder the title with a 20% PS Plus discount, however, you’ll still be able to preorder the other 3 titles (Cloudberry Kingdom, Ibb & Obb, and Duck Tales Remastered) up to their weekly release dates.

You’ll find all the content detailed above with their Plus benefits active when the PlayStation Store updates tomorrow. We’ll be back next week with more details on the game arriving to the Instant Game Collection as well as any other benefits we can share.
If you’ve got feedback or thoughts on today’s Plus update, leave them below, or, if you’re looking to engage with more of the PS community, make sure you head over to the PlayStation Community to discuss this week’s news, find other topics to contribute your thoughts to, or start one for yourself. See you in the comments!
Just gonna expand a bit on my previous comment (#150):
I say it’s a slow week because while there’s a game I want being added to the IGC (Yay Metal Slug!!) there aren’t too many discounts. I get the most out of my Plus subscription from the weekly sales and this week there’s only one new item discounted (I’m excluding the PLAY sales because those started last week, I believe).
I’d definitely like to see an abundance of sales in the future. July may have spoiled me with the Summer sale we had earlier and last week’s discounts, but sales on just about anything in the Store would be welcome.
Just my two cents, considering Morgan likes his feedback :P!
ps+EU is getiing mafia 2 next month hopefully we get it too, idk why EU always gets better games then us can you guys at least explain why that is ?
Psyched to hear what’s coming in August and excited for Stealth Inc. tomorrow. I think I’ve bought every crossbuy title that has come out except for Thomas was Alone and I think I may have to remedy that situation soon. As a matter of fact I may purchase the DLC for it since it is on sale and then buy the game if it goes on sale in the near future.
@Morgan Will you be on the blog cast nearing the end of the month to give us some insight into next month’s IGC?
Sid I chatted about this and felt that the best approach for the blogcast was to share some other PS Plus insights in the future. But for doing the month outlook before it hits, we didn’t feel like it was the best format. So your best bet will be to stay tuned to the updates here. August outlook should be up on 8/5.
