  • Every month I come here and see people complaining. First off, they’re free games, you are not entitled anything, especially not any recent AAA games.

    You want to complain because you bought Uncharted on you PS3 and you feel like you should be given it for free because you can no longer play them or something. First off, have you no clue in the work that went in to remastering those games? Second off, it’s not Sony’s fault that you can no longer play them if you no longer have your PS3. I still have my PS3 hooked up to my TV and if I want to play Uncharted, I just turn it on. Hell, I still have my PS2 hooked up to my TV for when I get that Timesplitters itch.

    As for the people that occasionally throw a fit and say they’re going to go to Xbox One, just go.

    Quit being salty because you’re not getting the games you want for free, you’re not entitled a handout and you don’t get to decide what a company should give out for free, you sound like a whiny annoying little baby, just go pout in a corner instead of coming online to throw a fit.

    • Im quoting izogray here when I say: Can we cut the “free game” garbage. It’s disingenuous, even if you put the “with an active subscription” in small print under it. Let’s stop training people to think that paying for something is free. Any reasoning that is saying it’s a short hand description is flat out wrong and lazy. Let me repeat, wrong and lazy. We all speak in slang and if PS+ offered anything else that is worth a subscription (it doesn’t) it might not be so annoying.
      PS+ doesn’t offer anything of real value outside of the games. Multiplayer being gated behind it on PS4 hasn’t increased the quality of the online or given us extra features. Noteworthy sales feel few and far between.
      Marketing has a job to do but do it cleaner.

    • The subscription fee is for us never having to deal with the crap we had to put up with in the “free” online during the PS3. It was a horrible online experience. So the free games and discounts are the PLUS

    • we pay our money just like you sorry if we demand more for our hard earned bucks than you but some of us are not happy with the recent linups if you are that’s fine but don’t knock others because they have different tastes than you. I hate most indie games to artsy for my taste but I also hate lifetime movies game shows and reality tv guess that makes me a horrible person for having my own opinion.

  • They should give us more of a choice and we should get to vote for the games out of a few instead of giving us cheap games

  • Good selection this month. I will definitely try Helldivers and Persona 4 Arena. Thanks!

  • Like some of the others I am tired of people complaining about free games they get as a perk for using a service. Xbox pays the same. We(xbox) have been paying for years of online play with no free games, and until the backwards compatibility was announced the GWG were no better then PS+, as well as often having one ps had months ago. I know because I have both. The service will always be $50, just like xbox. The only reason they are getting free games with the service now is because Microsoft wants to compete with Sony. Just like they waited until Sony had invested a lot of $ and time into psnow before they announced their backwards compatibility with some titles. It’s all just console wars. That being said, AAA titles are dropped all the time for PS3. Dragon Age Origins is a great AAA title that we got last month, which I already own on disc for 360… lol.

    I for one want to say thanks. There are a lot of good games out there that I would never have tried if not for this service.
    I do wish we could keep the game even if we aren’t subscribed like you can on xbox. It’s really the only thing they have over ps.

  • There are superior games that have been out longer. I am extremely disappointed in the sub par offerings lately. The only reason I have a PS Plus account is because they require it to play online.

  • The free titles have gone down hill recently. Especially when you compare it to the games that Xbox has been giving out for the one. The only games PS has given out are busts and random games I would not buy anyway.

  • So these two games on the PlayStation store haven’t actually registered as being free yet? I’m a ps plus customer and downloaded both grim fandango and hardware rivals last month. This happening to anyone else?

    • If you’re asking why the newest games aren’t available yet, it’s because they don’t show up until the first Tuesday of the month when the store updates. Lots of people who are kinda new to this (or just don’t know) have the same concern. The effect is magnified when the first Tuesday of a given month falls on the 6th or 7th.

      tl;dr Tomorrow afternoon sometime.

  • I am super-super happy about Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. It’s a game I’ve wanted for a while but haven’t been able to justify buying because I haven’t had the time to finish Persona 4 Arena original. Happy to have it in my collection.

    A suggestion: JRPGs please? Or a visual novel game like Hakuoki or Amnesia: memories? Maybe Danganronpa? These aren’t the super-pricy A-games, so it should be doable. For me, the big benefit of Playstation vs. Xbox is the catalog of Japanese games, so why not feature them on instant collection occasionally?

  • People still are only waiting for new games, Really? I dont play online games so idc about that part but i love the deals i just spent $60 and got alot of games, tomb raider definitive edition, project cars, farcry 4, murdered soul suspect, sleeping dogs defininitive edition. Thats 5 good games for $60 some werent playstation plus deals but still us supporting playstation gives us free games/great deals

  • How about something that’s not an indie game I played those back in the 90s on my Super Nintendo

  • Wow im surprised at the amount of people crying about the games they have been offering lately , im extremely happy they have mainly been offering game I wouldn’t purchase as theres always somthing else I want at the time , please stick with the current type of games your offering sony as ive given most of them a chance since day 1 of plus and have been pleasantly surprised 90% of the time , I really dont want to see aaa titles in the list on a monthly basis as if I want the game ill buy it so just keep doing what your doing theres always a game id enjoy , the only gripe I have is you shouldn’t release one episode of an episodic game as that just make me feel like your forcing everyone to buy the rest

  • Ppl are entitled to their opinion. I would love to see some AAA titles but I’m not holding my breath. I agree with the fact that the games selection since ps+ became a must have to play online; are cheap. I remember on my ps3 getting hitman when it was $20 to $40 in store but now instead of getting goty games that would be $20 it feels like ps+ is offering games that someone made in their garage.
    Just ones opinion.

    Booker

  • If I could get Titan Souls, or if they could give away Binding of Isaac: Rebirth again I could die happy.

    • The main issue with aaa being on ps4 ps plus is that most people own or have owned a lot of them , would you be happy if for the next 6 months the games that where put on plus you already owned copys of , the way they do it at the moment is pretty smart as they release games that over 80% of there market hasnt played and probably wouldn’t of unless given the chance for free.

  • Well helldivers is a great game and personna is cool just wish it was a one of the RPG titles not the fighting game but I do like fighting games so I’m happy with that. But I do feel most the time we end up with indie games now I’m rarely a fan of indies. The ps4 has been out a while now so I don’t see how killzone, second son, knack or the order has not made it to the free bucket. Most of them launch titles and all have had dramatic price drops. This would apease both the new console owners and people like me who want a AAA title to get a break from all the indie bombs we get every month. I used to get excited for the plus games but now I just click add to library and rarely ever download or play these games. I would probably be even happier with free add ons for AAA titles I already own if they can’t swing a bigger game. That said I think plus is still great for the small game developers to get there game out there because Sony dose give them a kick back. One more thing giving us a good AAA title would also raise sales for them because we would most likely purchase the dlc if we liked the games.

    • Knack! Yes and second son. I’ve been wanting to try them but I’m not 100% on how much I will like them. So I don’t want to spend more the. $10 on them. So free or discounted would work. Like 75% off the new sale price at least. But yeah, they have been out a while so free sounds better lol

  • Vita has had some awesome stuff lately, but considering I sold PS3 a while back when it still had decent value I’m disappointed in how weak PS4 is every month. Knack was a mediocre launch title 2yrs ago & still has never been on the list (not that I even want to play it, but point being it’s a Sony exclusive that they have full control of), neither have ANY of the launch titles such as Battlefield 4 or Need4Speed (blame EA lol). I’m cool with LAUNCHING indies as free GotM, but not rehashing indies from a few months ago…so Rocket League or Secret Ponchos is cool, even if Helldivers is arguably the best of the 3, it’s still old hat. How about instead of rehashed indies we get some of the AWESOME games they have in the Asia market like Deep Down or Kingdom Under Fire 2!!?? They’re both FREE to play & would be BY FAR THE BEST games to star as GotM!!! :)

  • Nothing really catching my eye, but I’ll be putting in my library nonetheless. Would really like to see Chivalry or Primal as a free title or even on a flash sale this month. Would give me an excuse to use the money for the game originally to put into some of the DLC they have.

  • For next month they should do in famous second son and infamous first light

    • Infamous Second Son should have been on IGC well before now. I own it, it is a fun game, but early and especially launch titles like Killzone should have been on this system last year. ESPECIALLY during the holiday season.

  • Its February sooooo where are these games that are for free also where is digimon at??? Went to purchase but it’s not on there??

  • I’m not expecting new releases or anything but I also have Xbox and the games they give dominate what PlayStation hands out. We now pay to play online which is ok but why not give us classic games. Instead you want to charge $100 dollars to play older titles. Why not give us a God of War. Why not give us an Arkham game a older Assassins Creed. Every month I look on Xbox and usually download 2 or 3 of the 4 free games. I look on here and it’s despicable in comparison. I remember when PlayStation was king and I don’t think that happens again until you compete in this way. That being said free is free and what I may dislike others will love. Love the console just think there is room for improvement in this area. Please no one get upset and blast this comment as its one comment that no one important will read nor care about.

  • More garbage indie games although at this point what should I expect that fact that papaya was free and is now paid with the promise of free games is sad when you give **** games away. At least it’s tax time and j can travel in my ps4 get a Xbox one and get some real free games with gold.

  • I always defend Sony, and Ps+.. but i agree its time for some older AAA titles for ps4. Throw us a bone here.. hell ps3 has a history of tons of AAA titles for free, while we get tons of indies. A few are ok.. but most suck, and i for one dont understand it. Why have a $400 system with all this power.. to play games that look like they were designed for the Super Nintendo? Sony.. i get it. Ps+ is now “required” so you arent hooking it up like ps3.. but damn. Starting to make people regret upgrading and paying for plus JUST to have online access. Thats a microsoft move.. you’re better than that.

  • Ehh nothing that peaks my interest. Maybe next month. I’d like to something good like maybe some good old ps3 games for the ps4. Just a thought.

  • Kind of a weak lineup for free games. To be fair, the IGC for the PS4 has been kind of garbage ever since the PS4 came out with way more indie titles than anything else. I understood this at first because that was the same it was when PS+ just got started on PS3 and after about a year the lineup really escalated. The IGC would be updated multiple times a month instead of once, there was always at least one older AAA title in the mix (especially if a sequel was on the horizon) and a bunch of smaller titles. I will still keep the service even though I don’t play multiplayer games because I do enjoy the discounts, but the time to start putting earlier titles on the Store for the IGC is long overdue. For example, Akiba’s trip, Evolve, The Order 1886, and Dying Light are all about a year old. Dying Light has a big DLC expansion coming out, maybe consider cutting a massive deal or offering that as part of the IGC.

    • The purpose of the IGC for the PS3 was to make it super tempting to buy PS+ by offering some slightly dated titles for ‘free’ for the service and to get them to buy more using the discounts the service offered. That is what made it so successful. Maybe a return to that business model would make the service shine more brightly than it currently is or at least consider offering steep discounts for older games right off instead of for flash sales (which can knock the price off even more).

      The steeper discounts to older titles as a matter of course would be a better idea and more easily implemented and well received by publishers I would think. Your game has been out for a year? Let’s knock 50% off whatever its retail price is for PS+ members as a general rule, something along those lines. I find the discounts far more tempting than the slow trickle of indie titles from the IGC personally and it has the added benefit of keeping gamers happy, putting more money in the publisher and Sony’s pocket, and making the system even more appealing to new customers still on the fence about getting a new console.

  • Free games that cost the best part of 20 quid?!? The only game we were excited about was Arena and it’s not even free – if not a rip off it reeks of false information – seriously considering cancelling.

  • What a load of turd, PS plus is hugely disappointing on ps4, it was and still is way way better on ps3.. Give us some AAA titles for god sake.

    • I’m guessing Helldivers isn’t your kind of game? It’s not mine either. But I’m going to try it. Cuz it’s free and so many people that are into those games love it.

  • Three things I love about PS Plus.
    1: every now and then they have a great discount on a game I’ve been wanting but didn’t have all the money for. (Tomb raider)
    2: three games last year that I really wanted came out for free!!! Those were games that I was planning on buying and I knew I loved playing them. All for free. These three games alone would have ran me $45.
    And the one that I think gets over seen too much is.
    #3 PS Plus gives us the opportunity to try out something outside our comfort zone. Games we have heard good things of but never tried because they are not our kind of games. It’s free, FREE why not download it and try it for a few hours. There’s been a number of games that have really surprised me and I’m thankful for it.
    So thank you PS Plus.
    Thank you for giving me the chance to expiriance my PS4 and PS3 for more then what I would normally get out of it.

    Oh yeah…
    I have had my Vita for over two years just sitting around, PS Plus has me and my wife using it now more then we ever thought we would.

  • The lineups are starting to really slack smh bad
    At least if they line ups are going to slack keep doing more frequent flashes or game deals

  • im a fan anyway of the playstation plus membership but the free games be horrible. i dont even attempt to download them. its at a point now that i expect to not download the games because i know i wont want them. put up games like beyond 2 souls of watch dogs.

  • Lemmings!! Yes!!! I love the free games.

  • The ps4 choices are near insulting, while the PS3 gets two tour de force titles. You need to invest more in bringing better ps4 games, it is your flagship console right?

  • Don’t know if this has been said yet but how are you guys not seein the obvious some people said ps4 is too new to give away aaa titles ok fair point so why then have PS3 free games gone downhill too? They still have a lot of games to give away right which they could also port to ps4 as they have already done so and charged us for it (ps now) Xbox have a limited backwards compatibility list which is free for now maybe they might lock it behind gold. But my point stands if what you guys are saying is true then PS3 free games should still be aaa titles but they’re not cos they want to charge us £12 (in uk) a month to play streamed titles from PS3 library which in demo is limited to about 100 titles approx and they added indie/niche games to that list

  • Dear Sony,

    I bought Helldivers a long time ago, but didn’t grab any a lot of the DLC as of yet. Now, you release the version with ALL of the dlc available, but because I bought it already, won’t let me download it. That is horrendously wrong. Shame on you sony, Shame.

  • I just noticed that the free PS Plus download of Helldivers comes with all of the DLC. I bought the game at launch, but did not buy any DLC. PSN will not let me download it because it says I already purchased it. Will I have access to the DLC for free?

  • Sooo I’ve been a PlayStation fan about all my life. I spent thousands of thousands of dollars on my pS3 which included buying a new one after getting the yellow light of death due to extensive use. I am saying this as a consumer and someone who’s spent a lot of time and money on this system. Since I’ve upgraded to the four I have had great experience s in the same breathe we have all kinda been cheated for example back when PS plus wasn’t a requirement it was a great deal we got great games for free and it was optional so there was no need to complain. Now that it is mandatory I have some issues. One being are free line ups have been a bit lack luster in my opinion. And the times y’all do put stuff up here I want like Helldiver’s it doesn’t matter cause I’ve already purchased it full price so it doesn’t benefit me. That’s not to say I have been all disappointed just more times than not. My second issue is we are paying because well xbox makes you pay for there servers and that’s fine I don’t mind that.

  • But if we are going to pay to play online then y’all need to improve servers and stop the PlayStation network from going down every month or two. As a consumer its annoying to be paying for something that use to be free that arguably is worse than it was on the PS3. I have tons and tons of games in my library that I cannot use and instead of being giving an option to play them on my PS4 I am giving the option to rebuy those things and usually at full price I’m sorry but that is not fair to the people who live and breathe PlayStation. I am in no one trying to bash Sony just stating my opinion from a frustrated consumers view. PS plus has let me down again this month.

  • nothing i’m all that into though i see both ps3 titles have great reviews so no complaints on my end

  • As someone who switched from the Xbox 360 to the PS4, the free games that Microsoft released were so much better. They gave us real games, games worth $40 – $60. Here we get indie games or games that aren’t worth a whole lot. I still enjoy having Playstation Plus for the multiplayer, and deals on games. But I’ve had PSN for over a year and have only downloaded three or four games that PS Plus released.

  • Grid Autosport, PS3 free
    Helldivers: Democracy Strikes Back , PS4, PS3, PS Vita free free free
    Lemmings Touch, PS Vita not free
    Nom Nom Galaxy, PS4 free
    Nova-111, PS Vita free
    Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, PS3 free

    WHY IS LEMMINGS TOUCH STILL ON SALE FOR £2.49 FROM £7.99 ITS SUPPOSED TO BE FREE

  • I agree with most of you, the recent line-up of free games has been sub par to say the least now it may just be my opinion but I prefer major titles even if poor seller over these games that most of us wont touch regardless of some of your other commenters thoughts on the games and its my money I should get what I want. why do you think they cancelled the opinionpoll on plus games?

  • Since I have already purchased helldivers, it won’t let me download this edition of the game which has more content. Can someone please tell me how to get the extra content for free. I don’t know why Sony makes things harder than they have to be. I have deleted the game and tries to download the plus version but it still won’t let me. Makes me rethink paying for indie titles such as this.

  • awesome games :) thank you sony but u need to upgrade :) with better games

  • Anyone else having problems with vita? Its still showing last months games in the store and im waiting to get lemmings touch

  • I was so excited to see what the new February plus games were, I don’t know why I get my hopes up anymore. Helldivers & Nom Nom Galaxy?? Really?? Enough of this indy crap. I got my PS4 for Christmas and there has been nothing good for PS Plus yet. We get all crappy indies, only thing on any Playstation system that is any good is Persona 4 on PS3. Meanwhile XBox One gets Hand of Fate & Styx, Xbox 360 gets Gears of War 2 and Sacred Citadel, all solid games. I’m beginning to think I should have gotten an XBox One instead.

  • When are they going to have some good titles, Has ps plus for several months what a disappointment !!!!!!

  • Helldivers is fun. I’m happy to have underrated gems like these for free with my PS + sub as I personally would have skipped over it otherwise. If I’m to criticize the offerings, I think one “cinematic” experience, along with a gameplay heavy indie like Helldivers each month would really offer variety for consumers and keep them happy. It doesn’t necessarily have to “AAA”, just story driven.

  • Also, if you really wanna keep people subscribed you could offer an optional game for people who already purchased one of the free offerings. Would really make me think twice about losing all those games when cancelling the sub.

  • The lineup seems ok but “Lemmings Touch for vita” is not available for free in Turkish PSN Store but sold with a “discount”. I’d like to ask why don’t we get it free as the other countries do, or is it considered a favor to sell it with a discount and are we expected to feel grateful for the discount? I really require a reasonable explanation why this game is not given to Turkish players.

  • Based on the comments, it looks like most people subscribed to PS+ for free games, then complain when they don’t get exactly what they want. You’re not entitled to anything. How about buying the game you really wanted on Amazon? They always have great prices. Don’t forget to check out the PS+ sales either, some have been pretty lackluster, but I’d say the large majority have been pretty good.

    • I think the issue is that pre-PS4, the PS Plus games for the PS3 were awesome every month. Customers have gotten use to the awesome service, just to have it taken away. It also stems from how good XBOX Games with Gold has gotten recently.

  • Could we have one month without being given side-scrolling games? One month where the featured game isn’t an Indy Game would be greatly appreciated.
