Stay safe and pick up Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Journey for free from April 15 through May 5.
People all over the world are doing the right thing by staying home to help contain the spread of COVIDโ19. We are deeply grateful to everyone practicing physical distancing and take our responsibility as a home entertainment platform seriously, so we are asking our community to continue supporting the safe choice and the need to Play At Home.
As a thank you to all who are doing their part to lessen the impact of this pandemic, Sony Interactive Entertainment is pleased to announce the Play At Home initiative.
Play At Home has two components: first, providing free games to help keep the PlayStation community entertained at home; and finally, establishing a fund to help smaller independent game studios who may be experiencing financial difficulties continue building great experiences for all gamers.
Free Games to Play At Home
To support Play At Home, PlayStation will try to make those occasionally dull moments more exciting by offering Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Journey available for free* for a limited time through digital downloads from April 15 at 8pm PDT through May 5, 2020 at 8pm PDT Once you redeem the games, they are yours to keep.
For most of you, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection will need no introduction. This three-game collection from the masters at Naughty Dog includes Uncharted: Drakeโs Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Uncharted 3: Drakeโs Deceptionโall meticulously remastered for PS4. We canโt imagine a better time for globe-trotting adventures with Nathan Drake, an iconic cast of characters, and thrilling treasure-hunting action gameplay.
Then there’s Journey, a beautiful, celebrated adventure that is as moving as it is mysterious. The game’s life-affirming message is timeless, and perhaps more important now than ever before.
In alignment with SIEโs goal in preserving Internet access in the US and Europe, game downloads may take a little longer, but we appreciate the understanding from our community as we take these measures in an effort to preserve access for everyone.
Creative Funding
Independent developers are vital to the heart and soul of the gaming community and we understand the hardships and financial struggles that many smaller gaming studios are facing. With that, SIE has developed a fund to support them during this time. We have earmarked $10 million to support our independent development partners. More information about the fund, including participation criteria, will be made available soon.
During these days of physical distancing, fans have turned to gaming for moments of respite and enjoyment. At Sony Interactive Entertainment, we are privileged to bring this much-needed entertainment. We know this is just one small step and we are thankful to be able to offer this support to our players, our communities, and our partners.
*In Germany and China, users will have access to Knack 2 and Journey for free for a limited time (April 15, 2020 at 8pm PDT through May 5, 2020 at 8pm PDT).
Right on. The creative fund is huge. Part of why I love Sony is because of their partnerships with so many unique developers for independent games.
Oh, hi.
โFor most of you, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collectionโ was given free with PS Plus. XD
Appreciate the gesture though. I previously bought both games and Knack 2.
Need gift card๐ท
Gonna have to re add the Uncharted collection back to the library. Mine was removed and I can only guess this is why.
Why not make AC Origins the next free game during this play at home initiative

Those that didn’t have PS+ will also get to play it.
I sure hope Sony doesn’t do an ugly console like the prototype.
Also the black and white colors are bad. Other colors would look great however.
Most people just want an all Black console.
Most people don’t like the mix of Black and White, but the community of PlayStation have made fantastic looking DS5 based off of it.
Aside from the color choice, nobody seems to have a problem with the controller ๐ฎ.
I want to play outlast
Well I hope those lazy bums who didnโt pay $9.99 or less during sales finally play the remastered Uncharted trilogy.
ZanFear, it’s not actually free if you only get to keep it until you stop paying every month. This one actually gets to stay in your library, at least ostensibly. And many of us don’t have or want PS+.
I agree AC Origins should be next.
